Not expecting that Violet would actually hit him, Mikhail looked up with a dazed expression.
“Towards the person you hate the most in the world, would you do nothing?”
The one who had hit the other was Violet, but her hand was much redder than the cheek of the person who had been hit.
People gasped. The heavy silence was so stifling that even people’s breathing sounded e...

Everything was the duke’s fault.
The duke had always kept an unchanging attitude. This was true to both before and after the death of his beloved wife.
He pressured his eldest son, Mikhail, while he was indifferent to his second and third sons. Some might say that his favorite was Violet, but even the favor he held for her was mired with indi...

But, no. In this world, it was all complicated.
Just as it was possible for a victim not to be completely good, so too was it possible for a perpetrator not to be completely evil. Each person had their own reasons.

The plan to get rid of Mikhail was postponed for the meantime, and this was only because Roen had come forward to the duke and asked for the right to dispose of Mikhail himself. The duke allowed it.

All of a sudden, it was decided that Aileen would be studying abroad. It was announced shortly after Mikhail had been stripped of his position as the duke’s heir.
