Hmmm i feel sorry for her when her mother keeps remarried and she got into her rumor, anyhow it s still mystery why all her lover and husbands died,all are by accident.
Is this another step-sis and step-bro canon? Omg- I've read a lot like this(I don't even want that kind of story irl) but I'm here for spoilers
Here you go, I MTL a bit of it Spoiler: Part 1 Why Ophelia Can't Get Out of the Duke's House Mother's dead. It's said it was a carriage accident. When I heard the news, I collapsed in surprise. It's ridiculous. What do you mean by a carriage accident? For a moment, a strong force pulled my body up as I was sticking my hips to the cold marble floor. "The floor is cold. Calm down and follow me, Sister." I was startled as a breath touched the exposed back of my neck. Alexander has grabbed my arm without hesitation as if he didn't care. He was acting more mature than me, three years older than me. He took me to a soft velvet sofa, covered me with a blanket, and poured me a strong glass of whiskey. I stared blankly at Alexander moving gracefully like a leopard. Then, as he turned toward me, I lowered my gaze as if I had seen him. "Drink it in. You'll come to your sense." Alexander held out a clear glass of amber liquid. The pale hands were shaking finely. "...thank you." I accepted the glass without hesitation. As he said, when I gulped down the whiskey, my whole body was heated, and my eyes opened wide. A little dizzy, I put my hand on my forehead and tilted my head. "Maybe." Mumbled a little. Mother's dead. It's so fresh to see you excited about your honeymoon like last night. She's not in this world anymore. I couldn't believe the fact. "......have to hold a funeral." Alexander, who sat on the armrest of the sofa, hid his still trembling hands. He is pretending not to be, but he must be shocked too. The Duke of Arpad, who was found breathing and underwent surgery, also died of excessive bleeding. "You must be very tired, so go up and rest. I'll clean up the mess." Alexander's voice cracked badly. I looked up at him and shook my head. "No, I... I'll stay and help. If there's anything I can do." "That's all right." But Alexander was adamant. Before their eyes met, he strode forward and opened the door to the drawing-room. I had no choice but to leave the drawing-room. If I remained there, I was sure that the people of the duke would notice me. I sighed and leaned against the tightly closed door. As soon as the uninvited guest left, a low conversation sounded as if waiting. Of course, I was only a thorough outsider here in the Duke of Arpad. Coming up to the room, I looked around the darkroom with sunken eyes. Just over a month. It was the time I stayed in this mansion. This place was uncomfortable for me, just like every place I followed my mother. I've always endured the discomfort because my mother was having fun. Because she was happy. But now, my mother is not in this world. So the Duke of Arfad is no longer where I should not be. I had to get ready to leave. ◆ Born as the daughter of a small farmer in a rural village, her mother was so beautiful that she did not fit in with her rustic surroundings. As much as a village landlord would pay attention to her mother, who was 30 years younger than him. 'Grandfather said the money was the best, and he tried to sell Mother to the landlord.' When she brushed her mother's long blonde hair in front of the dressing table, she often recalled the past. Blue eyes like the sea shone hazily. I used to stare at my mother in the mirror. Then the mother rolled up her red lips and laughed. 'But she didn't want to spend her life in such a humble place.' So my mother ran out of the house in the middle of the night. Holding the hand of a mercenary passing through the village at that time. Broken moonlight. The forehead is white with perspiration. A fresh smile and red rosy cheeks. I could tell without seeing them in person. How beautiful my mother must have been. How much my father must have been into my mother. After leaving the village that way, my mother settled in a port city in the south. And I was born. It would have been nice if it was a happy ending, but marriage was a reality. Mother wasn't satisfied with her daily life. Mother and Father in my memory would always argue. Mother admired the neighborhood where the rich lived on the hill. Father was a pretty good mercenary, not too high, but able to do magic. Even so, he could not afford to buy her a dream house built with white bricks and blue roofs. My mother was sick of my father. Then it was one day. While my father went to work next door for weeks, my mother took me and ran away. "But I didn't abandon you. Thanks to your mother, you can wear such pretty and expensive clothes." "Yes, I know. Thank you, Mother." My mother used to smile with her eyes bent satisfactorily at my answer. I meant it. My mother is a butterfly-like person who gets farther away when she reaches out, so I was always anxious to lose her hand. It was between mother and daughter, but it was dangerous. I didn't want to be abandoned by my mother, so I always looked at her. Mom left the port city with all her property. We headed north. The higher you go, the higher the price, and the remaining money disappeared. When there was no money left, Mother sold off the ruby ring that Father had given her. In the city where my mother sold ruby rings, I could hear of my father. They said there was a riot in the city where my father went to work. Father was one of the mercenaries deployed to quell the riot, and he was killed in the midst of a more violent riot than expected. So my mother became a widow. At the time when she could no longer make a living by selling rings, she met a knight with a land. They fell in love with each other at first sight as if they had promised. A knight who could buy a house with white brick and a blue roof that my mother want became my stepfather. But a few years later, my stepfather died. It was called sepsis. She was sad, but she was able to cheer up quickly. Because the land, the house, and the property left in my stepfather's name belonged to my mother. It wasn't just that. During her marriage with my stepfather, she became close friends with the Baroness, whom my stepfather served. Baron Blanche. He was a very sensitive person. His wife sympathized with my mother, who had already lost her husband twice in her mid-twenties. And she was willing to let my mother into the mansion, who was so relaxed that she would never starve if she didn't have the luxury. The wife was born with a naturally fragile body. He said that giving birth to a child could endanger her life could be in danger. His wife adored me as if I were a clone of my mother. I wasn't as much as my mother, but I used to follow his wife very much. I still can't forget how sweet the red jade candy she sometimes gave me. Even now, if you ask me to choose one of my favorite foods, I don't hesitate to shout and say "Candy!". My mother became a companion to the vulnerable wife and naturally joined the aristocratic gatherings where the wife attended. Many noblemen had their eyes on the young and beautiful widow. The wife used to tell my mother that anyone would be fine, so if she liked anyone, she should tell her. But unfortunately, it was Baron Blanche, not anyone else, who came into her mind. The Baron and his wife, who had married in an arranged marriage, were in a situation where they had to face each other. There, the wife had just gotten sick from the resort where she had been with us for recovery. With each passing day, her wife grew weaker to the point that she couldn't even lift a spoon with her own strength. She left her with her last will, saying that she should take good care of her husband. I still don't know if that meant remarrying the Baron. Whatever his wife's wishes, after her funeral, my mother married the Baron. Life with the Baron was smooth. However, rumors were circulating that she was trying to do this from the beginning. Then the Baron died. When I was nineteen years old. Unlike his ex-wife, his physique was strong, but one day he began to suffer from cirrhosis. He went to the forest with nobles during hunting season but fell off a horse and broke his neck, and died. Mom cried, dripping tears like glass beads. "Ophelia, what the hell is wrong with your mother, that her husbands keep dying?" Mother held me on the shoulder as if she was really curious and asked. Spoiler: Part 2 It was when we were quietly putting our grief to rest. I thought all the mourners had left, but someone nearby talked to my mother. "I can't help but feel sorry for you, Madam." It was a calm, deep voice. He was Duke of Arpad, who was usually acquainted with Baron Blanche. After the funeral, he stayed, saying he would help if necessary. Sometimes when I went out to the garden to read under the sun, I would see my mother and the Duke taking a walk, and I would leave first. I don't know what conversation went on between them. By the time the Duke left, my mother naturally became close enough to hold hands with him and hug him without hesitation. "Mother, are you going?" Again? I swallowed the words and fiddled with the hem of my white dress. When the fancy Duke's carriage left, my mother looked back at me with dreamy eyes. She laughed. I could tell. Mother would soon be Duchess of Arpad. Somehow one side of my chest seemed to be tight. I've been suffocating. Mother was easily satisfied, but the satisfaction didn't last long. From the daughter of a tenant farmer to the wife of a mercenary, the wife of a knight, the wife of a Baron, the next was the wife of a Duke. What next? Don't tell me you're going to the emperor's government. I missed my days in a port city where things were not good but peaceful. Mother and Father used to bicker, but soon they would make up and kiss each other on the cheek. That was the happiest time. At least I was. That's what happened. She wasn't. I became sad. As the years went by and the scandal over my mother, who had lost her husband several times, fizzled out, we turned to the Duke. I didn't say a word all the way. She didn't seem to care much. The Duchess of Arpad died early after giving birth to her successor. She opened and folded her fan while giving me information that I was not so curious about. "Mom will be the Duchess. Isn't Ophelia happy?" When my mother asked me that, I smiled and pretended to be bright. It was my role to smile and say, If you like it, I like it. The carriage drove day and night for a month and finally reached the Duke's house. As expected, the mother who had already lost her husband three times and who stood like a doll next to her blinked blankly. Except for Duke Arpad. "I missed you, Isolde. And Ophelia. Come on." The Duke deeply kissed the back of my mother's hand when she got off the carriage. And escorted my mother into his mansion first. I was already used to this sight, so I got out of the carriage alone. I cleared my crumpled skirt and lifted my head, and a big shadow blocked my way. "Nice to meet you." It was a rough voice whose voice was still changing. His tone was elegant, but perhaps because of his voice, it sounded oddly harsh, as if it had been pierced with thorns. "Ophelia." "....." "Sister, is it?" He called my name as if it were natural. But when I didn't speak up easily, I was taken aback, so I immediately added back words. Like the moonlight of the dawn, the coolness confronted the frosty eyes. "It is Alexander." His hands were as white and big as snow. He pulled up the corners of his mouth slowly as we held hands together. A soft smile hung around his mouth, but his eyes were not smiling at all. He was a statue-like man made of ice. No, it was a boy. "Nice to meet you, too. I mean, Alexander?" "Speak comfortably." Cold sweat flowed from the tepid body temperature felt in the palm of the hand. I had never had a brother before. Although he is still young, I had to make up my mind to talk to him, who was a span taller than me and had the blood of a noble duke. "Then I'll do that." "....." "This." He said with a deep breath. However, he was surprised by his eyes and quickly spoke up again. I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with him again. It was a hideous eye that would kill me if I really put it on the subject he asked me to use. ◆ Knock knock, knock. A knock was heard, and I was freed from the thought I had been in for a while. It was a habit Alexander didn't even know about himself to knock twice and then stopped and knock on the door again. "Can I come in?" "Of course." He enjoyed dark clothing, and today he was wearing an indigo shirt. Alexander's pure white face seemed to float in a dark room with no candles turned on late at night. "How come you don't light the candle?" He asked. I opened the curtain without saying a word. The dim moonlight came in and barely discerned things. "I still can't believe it. It seems like yesterday that I saw my mother and father off with a smile." The outline of Alexander reclining on the wall was revealed. He was dressed in a shirt that had been neatly buttoned up to the neck, but somehow it felt loose, and his dry, hard shoulders were a little stiff as if he was tense. "You've been drinking." "Can't I?" "As far as I know, you're still underage." "Please take a look. I'm so upset." It wasn't that I didn't understand. Because I was also going to find a drink before going to sleep. I couldn't believe the reality that still didn't come close to me like reality, so I felt like I could fall asleep only when I was drunk. "Not even tears come out. I want to cry, but I don't know if I want to cry or not." Spoiler: Part 3 I looked out the window with my hand holding the curtain tightened. Snowflakes were falling as if they had torn clouds apart in the middle of winter. "It's an area where accidents happen a lot. I told them that it would be better to leave when spring comes because the snow hasn't melted yet." "......I'm sorry." "I don't know why you're apologizing." How the hell did you get close without a sound? Turning around casually, I flinched at Alexander, who was standing right at the edge. The distance between him and me was breathtaking. "It's my mother who rushed." I answered calmly, erasing my surprise. "It's 'your mother.' So there's no need for you to apologize, Sister." When we first met, Alexander was as cold and blunt as a frost. So I guessed that he and I could never be siblings forever. However, contrary to my expectations, Alexander greeted Mother and me quite warmly. When the whole family was together, he had a playful smile like his age and opened the conversation first. Although the two of us never talked once, we were busy avoiding each other. "I just came to see if you were crying. You look better than I thought. That's a relief. No, it's not fortunate." Alexander swept his chin down and stared at me in wonder. The sharp silver-gray eyes narrowed to see inside me. "It's not okay." "What?" When he whispered quietly, he tilted his head as if he didn't understand. As he stood close, the scent of his body mixed with the smell of alcohol and soap. I let go of the curtain that I was grabbing. "...it's not okay. It may seem like it on the outside, but." I listened. The gaze that had been falling all the time. When our eyes met suddenly, I and he immediately turned our heads. Then, at the same time, we looked at each other again. "I want to be alone for a little bit..... it's late too." I tapped on the window with my fingertips. Alexander nodded hastily as he pointed to the full moon and the numerous stars that filled the night sky. "......oh, yes. Excuse me." At last, he took a step back. Seeing him stumble, I felt like I was starting to get drunk. I buried my face in the bed like I was falling when Alexander left out, saying good night. I was so dazed that I couldn't even feel the softness of the blanket. ◆ The funeral was held solemnly. Most of the mourners were relatives of the Duke of Arfad and acquaintances. I stood next to Alexander in a black veil and watched them place flowers in the duke's coffin. "I can't believe it. You're going like this....." An old lady said with her red nose covered tightly with a handkerchief. Alexander bowed his head to greet the old lady and slightly open his lips to explain to me who she was. "Countess Cassiers. She's my mother's godmother." When Alexander refers to 'my mother,' he means the former Duchess who gave birth to him. I thanked him with a wink and then extended my hand to the old lady. "Thank you for coming..." "How dare you!" Slap! The bitter palm fell on my cheek and the veil I was wearing flew away. Even the hair that had been turned up fell down. I wrapped my tingling cheeks. A red-haired woman, who had been quietly shedding tears by the old lady's side, was staring at me ferociously. "Oh, Catherine! What the hell are you doing?" The appalled old lady pushed her away and came up to me. As I received the old lady's worried eyes, I smiled hard to let her know that I was okay. But the look was awkward because of the swollen cheeks. "Sister." I thought I was going to fly away, but I thought it was a little strange to be able to stand still. It turns out Alexander was standing behind me and supporting me. I shoved him away. It was also uncomfortable to be together like this. "You don't even know the subject! Where do you think this is? Do you know where you are and brazenly show your face? Isolde, if it weren't for that bitch, Tristan would have been alive!" The red-haired woman raised her hand again as if aiming at my opposite cheek. Fortunately, this time Alexander moved quickly. He grabbed her hand and lowered it, avoiding the risk of puffy cheeks. "Why are you stopping me? Alec, you also think so. If Tristan hadn't brought her in the first place..... Ughh." Thick tears dripped from the woman's eyes. She looked pitiful, but I wasn't a great enough person to hand a handkerchief to someone who has slapped me out of the blue.

MTL with edits 1. FL's mother had been killing/poisoning the husbands she married to, until she became a duchess. FL knew this. 2. It was not an accident that the duke and duchess died in a wagon accident, but something the FL(?) did because she was afraid that her mother would continue on killing.(the blonde(?) not sure if referring to the mother, thinks she died because of her) 3. From the very beginning, ML suspected that FL killed his father, and found evidence to be convinced that she was the culprit. Despite this fact, he fell in love with her from the moment they met, and later, he thought of FL as the only lover he will ever love even if she killed his father. (He kept on dreaming about FL and even made her the person he masturbated on) 4. Blonde(?) is a wizard, but the FL is a stronger wizard, so she isn't a match for FL. She's tried planning something, but she'll feel sorry for it later. 5. An investigator appears in the second half of the story, but he is actually a psychopath disguised as an investigator. He almost killed the Blonde and FL. -based on the recent raws, the Blonde is probably referring to the maid that had a 'romantic' feelings for ML. Novel is r19, but I'm not sure if the manhwa will follow(since its tag as general webtoon).
Look like I know who is the blonde. In recent chapter, there is this bitchy maid that has a blonde hair (or maybe yellow). And in chapter 11 the comment bellow say something about wizard And may I ask something? 1. Why Ophelia must kill the duke too? How? 2. And if Ophelia know that her mother do something, why she didn't stop her? 3. Why FL is a wizard? Is it because her father can do magic too? But why she is a strong wizard? 4. Isn't this story kinda fucked up? I mean, Alexander fall for a woman who murdered not only her own mother but his OWN father too. If it's in rl, it's so sick but it's fictional, so I don't really mind Anyway, thank you for the spoiler
When you say blonde, are you referring to the fl's maid? Judging by the manhwa raws, she seems to be trying to get between the fl and ml. I can't really tell cause I am just analysing the pictures, but it seems like she tells the fl to go to the training grounds (presumably telling her the ml is asking for her) and the ml seems confused. There also seems to be clues suggesting she is fond of the ml (be that romantic or platonic feelings idk) and she has known him since her childhood. I also think she maybe tries to make it look like the fl was somewhere she wasn't supposed to, because the ml finds a long silver hair and asks her about it, before becoming upset with the blonde maid after talking to the fl.
I suddenly surprised when the investigator just a disguise and he's real identity is a psychopath What really will happen And it feels like that's just not a accident when the Duke and her mother died feels like someone schemes Omg really I'm gonna go crazy I don't wanna read this ugh I just hope the ending will be a "Happy Ending"
You are a Sunshine!!! Thank you so much!!! I like him!! He's handsome Will they get married? Have kids? Thank you!
