Chapter 136
Five years ago.
When the illegitimate child of the Duke of Voreoti first appeared.
It wouldn’t have been an exaggeration to say that the entire empire turned its gaze to the North.
Especially the nobles, who, even as they whispered malicious rumors and slander about the child, kept a close watch on the Duke’s bastard.
But all of that disappeared almost immediately after the father and daughter made their debut in the capital.
The Duke of Voreoti cherished the child beyond words. Witnesses claimed he never let her out of his sight.
The young duke’s paternal affection was legendary, so much so that people whispered that the real power behind House Voreoti was that young girl.
Varia, too, was shocked by Leonia’s sudden appearance.
Though, for a very different reason.
Varia found the young lady of Voreoti deeply suspicious—because she had never existed in her previous life.
‘She wasn’t supposed to exist...’
No matter how many ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) times she thought about it, the girl had never once been mentioned in her past life.
