"Please father... Look at me even just once-" Elizabeth Alliet clings to hem of her fathers cape
"Scum." Theodore scowled at the child
It was like that for 18 years of her life
No matter what Elizabeth did, ace in the academy, earn a scholarship
It was never enough.
Elizabeth's mother had died during childbirth, in grief and anger the Duke Theodore Alliet pushed his daughter to the outskirts of the mansion, in the South building
1 maid who acted as Elizabeth's mother and whom Theodore will kill later in the story and limited financial support
Elizabeth first saw her father during her 6th birthday... Her mother's death anniversary
Reading the books about families and familial love gave hope to Elizabeth's gloomy life
Knowing she had a father, a parent to care for her was life-changing
It was different from what she had imagined
When she was 8 it rained hard in the continent, storms were brewing and attacking
As a child knowing that the garden of peonies, her father's favorite flower were going to be destroyed by the harsh wind and rain, She ran to get some tarpaulins to cover the delicate flowers, resulting in her high fever
But the Duke did not visit her once
On Elizabeth's debut her 18th birthday
"I am Oliva Alliet, the real daughter of the Duke"
Everything came crashing down.
That was when the main story started, finally coming to her senses, Elizabeth abandoned her pursue for her father's love and met the male leads
The Name lead helped Elizabeth expose Olivia as a fake and Banished Theodore as the new Duke
She lived happily ever after with the male lead.
The end.

"So uhh... You remember the part where Elizabeth got a fever because she took care of the flowers? "
That child is right in front of me.
I woke up as Theodore Alliet, father of the heroine Elizabeth Alliet
"F-father...? Am i- dreaming?" Elizabeth struggles to open her eyes because of fatigue
"No... It's okay, everything is going to be okay... Papa's here-"
I carry Elizabeth in my arms and walk in the dark hallway...
No servants were in sight.
My assistant: Reynold Weston was standing in the entrance of the South Building
"Y-your grace?!??"
"Call for a doctor"
"Your grace??? "
"Did you not hear me? I said call for a doctor"
"Alright... "
TBC...
