Teresia Oblen, age eight. Using her late mother’s keepsakes as leverage, her despicable biological father forced her into being adopted by the Ghost Duke’s household. “But he only told me to get adopted—not that I couldn’t get myself kicked out, right?” Fine then. She’d make sure her name went down in imperial history as the fastest child ever to be disowned. --- Heir’s duties? What are those? Do they taste good? Her plan was to become an absolute menace and get thrown out on purpose. At least… that was the plan before she met the so-called cursed Ghost Duke. “Let me at least do this much as your parent, Terry.” “I shall be your loyal steed, my lady!” “Thank you so much, my lady!” The duke is far too gentle, and the servants are unbearably kind. In that case… time to switch plans! She’ll rebuild this declining ducal house and then buy out her baron family’s estate whole. And the ability to see ghosts? Perfect time to put it to use, isn’t it? Except… A ghost-possessed teddy bear has uncovered her secret. …Can she really survive here in one piece?
