She Is a Daughter Raised As the Son of a Duke

ften went in and out of the library because I was bored, I couldn’t go out anywhere, and stayed in the room.

 

My room and the library were in opposite directions, but I never ran into him on the way back and forth.

 

Once, I was lost because of the wide Duke’s mansion.
For as long as an hour, I couldn’t find my room and wandered around the mansion.
I didn’t run into him then, either.

 

Is that why? Naturally, I came to think that there would be no meeting other than at the flower garden, and I came out of the room frequently without hesitation.

 

She had hoped so much not to run into Persis, but was too careless.

 

I let my hand on my chest fall weakly to the floor.

 

“It’s ruined… Why did I want to drink coffee…”

 

But now is not the time to blame yourself.

’

 

She took a deep breath and calmly closed her eyes.

 

Now, a man called my father will kick me out.

 

There is no answer if you go to an orphanage.
You have to stay in this house somehow, not die.

 

Fortunately, the original story and development have already changed.

 

‘The reality is that it can be different from the original content.’

 

Even so, it was unavoidable.
It’s not like Persis’s personality has changed.

 

He’s a man who thinks I’m of no use to the family, not even his flesh and blood.

 

As long as that thought doesn’t change, the plan to expel me to the orphanage won’t change.

 

It is not that there are no plans in place for such situations.

 

I have a plan in place in case Persis discovers me before I am old enough to live on my own.

 

“But it’s a last resort.
I don’t want to use it at all.”

 

… If that’s the only way to survive, I’ll use it.

 

Knock knock.

 

Then, with a knock, the door clicked open and Ellen entered the room.
In her hand was a coffee-flavored cookie.

 

“Lady, I brought you coffee-flavored cookies… what? Why are you sitting here?”

 

When Ellen looked down curiously at me sitting by the door, I burst into tears as if I were about to cry.

 

“Ellen…!”

 

I got up and hugged Ellen.

 

“Oh? Did anything happen while I was gone?”

 

“I met my dad…”

 

In response, Ellen almost dropped the cookies she was holding for a moment.
The eyes had already grown as big as a lamp.

 

“Master, you said you met the master… ?”

 

As I nodded, Ellen said resignedly.

 

“The magic… looks like it’s unlocked…”

 

“Magic?”

 

Magic’s unlocked?

 

“What magic?”

 

’

“It’s the magic Floa placed on the master at Lady Viche’s request.”

 

So what kind of magic is that?

 

Ellen tilted her head as I put on an expression that I didn’t know at all.

 

“Did you forget? Floa put a spell on the master to keep him from knowing the lady’s existence.”

 

It was the first time I heard it without May’s memory.
In addition, the story is not in the original story.

 

Well, the inside story of a single supporting character must not have been written in the text of the novel.
Because novels exist for the main character.

 

When I asked about the situation in detail, Ellen explained in detail.

 

The backstory that was not revealed in the original novel was like this.

 

Persis had a woman he loved, whom he regarded as his savior.
That’s May’s biological mother, Viche Yuriet.

 

Although there were many men, he loved her with all his heart.

 

Viche also whispered love to him.
She was always by his side when he was in pain.

 

So when he proposed to marry her, she ultimately refused.

 

She abandoned him, saying that her unwillingness to be bound to someone is greater than her love for him.

 

And came back to him three months later.

 

‘I’m pregnant with your child.
Let me stay here.’

 

Persis tried to send her away, but contrary to his promise, he had already given her a room to stay, and a lady-in-waiting attached to her.

 

It was embarrassing to have resented her so much for three months.

 

He immediately regretted taking her into the house, but since he had a child, he did not expel her.
But I did mention a cold doctor.

 

‘I have no intention of raising the child in your womb.
When the child is born, take it out of this house.’

 

‘But it’s your child…’

 

‘I don’t need the child you gave birth to.
Even if it’s my bloodline.’

 

When it seemed that Persis would not raise the child, Viche begged Floa, the guardian deity of Flotina.

 

After giving birth to a child, she will leave, so ask that the child be raised here.

 

So Floa casts a spell so that the child can grow up in the duke’s mansion without Persis’ knowledge.

 

So that the child’s existence is never known.
Living in the same house, but never running into the child.

 

Until I concluded that by this time Persis would raise my child.

 

Viche then died while giving birth to May.

 

Hearing all that, I took a deep breath.
