on going
A splendid carriage I’ve never seen before, and a grand mansion that could be either a castle or a palace.
My life as a seven-year-old, peacefully living with my dad in a rural backwater, changed when the wealthy Count Travel set out to find his estranged younger son.
My dad is a nobleman? And I have a rich grandfather?!
Instead of a warm welcome, my relatives greeted my father, who returned after six years with his young daughter, with nothing but cold stares.
At that moment, strange scenes flooded my mind like a downpour.
– Berry, you need to be careful with our relatives. Travel is a den of beasts all vying for the heir’s position.
– Miss Berry! There’s news that Young Master Reytan… has passed away…
Seven years old, ten years old, sixteen years old, ……
They were all me, but memories I don’t recall.
And in those memories, my father met a tragic death.

Surely, this can’t be real.
“Head Butler, did you recently buy a large quantity of stocks in the Ink Company that’s about to go bankrupt?”
“They said it would never fail… What? How did you know I bought stocks?”
Aagh! This is all true too.
If these memories are real, this time, I’ll definitely save my dad.
I can’t save him on my own.
I need a powerful ally who will stand as my greatest support…
Of course, I do have one hidden gem that only I know about.
Someone who, at this moment, seems like nothing more than a mud-covered stone, unnoticed by others.
‘Theon Phil Ixellona, the Crown Prince.’
My first plan is to bring the young prince to our side.
