Chapter 265: Brought to the Heavens
Even at just a glance, he was an astoundingly handsome man. Every single action he took was elegant. His very way of walk, even the way his fingers lifted the cup of tea was completely different from the morons she met so far in her life. He was a real noble with refinement etched deep in his bones. Leticia’s father embraced Leticia in his arms and whispered, “I did not abandon you. It was because…Uh…Yes, it was all because of that woman. Things turned out this way because that woman had seduced me. If it wasn’t for that woman, then I wouldn’t have abandoned your mother. So please, forgive me Leticia.”
Originally he said that he will have an official marriage with her mother. Saying that even though mother’s status was low, he truly loved her.
“I love you, Leticia. Even though I have another daughter, who I absolutely love the most is you. So please wait just a bit longer. My wife is in a critical condition. Once she dies, I swear I will come right away and pick you up to bring home.”
Those words felt sweeter to Leticia’s ears than the sweet candy she had tasted just once in her life. From that day forward, Leticia desperately waited for that day to come. She wished for the Duke’s wife to pass away quickly. No, not even that, for her to die as soon as possible.
After Leticia’s biological father came into the orphanage, every kid in the orphanage treated Leticia like a completely different person. Even the director of the orphanage who had a nasty personality shivered in fear in front of Leticia. She realized then for the first time what this was. To have power over people. That with power, you will be able to rule over people immediately within a single day.
After the funeral for the Duke’s wife, Leticia’s father made Leticia wear a beautiful dress before putting her on the fancy four wheeled carriage. Heading towards father’s territory, Leticia’s head was full of dreams. What kind of days could be awaiting for her from now on? The main characters of fairy tales always used to become a queen in the end. Perhaps, she may end up as one as well.
Father’s territory was vast and rich, with the mansion grand and magnificent. She would have believed if someone said that this was the king’s palace. Stepping off the carriage while in father’s embrace, Leticia’s chest beated wildly. Numerous servants lined up in two rows on the sides of her view, and bowed towards father and her. She genuinely felt like she became a princess.
As soon as she stepped inside of the house, she saw another girl at the same age as her standing at the top of the grand and tall staircase in the middle. Having the unique appearance of people from the northern region, she had long silver hair flowing downwards, and was coldly staring down at her. A child born between a royal family member of the neighbouring country and a high ranking noble father, a girl born into high nobility.
Looking at the beautiful sillhoutte of the girl, she couldn’t help but feel pressure from her. Leticia squeezed her hand tight into a fist and suppressed those feelings.
‘Even if that’s the case, the daughter that father loves most is me. She is nothing but a supporting actor who gets in my way.’
However, from that fraile and small girl’s mouth came out the words that she could have never imagined.
“I told you to leave my house already, father. Along with your daughter.”
