The Beloved Granddaughter Of Monster Duke ?
Firentia Lombardy had lived a life marred by betrayal and tragedy. From a young age, she endured the scorn and resentment of her own family, treated as an outsider and a burden. Her uncle, Lord Vittorio Lombardy, wielded his authority with a cold and calculating demeanor, his disapproval of Firentia palpable in every interaction. It was under his hand that Firentia met her untimely end, accused unjustly and condemned without mercy.
But fate had other plans for Firentia. Inexplicably thrust back into the past, she found herself reliving the years she had desperately tried to forget. Initially, Firentia harbored no illusions of reconciliation or forgiveness towards her family. She had no intention of seeking their approval or affection, having learned the bitter lesson of their cruelty all too well.
Yet, as time passed, Firentia discovered that beneath the facade of animosity and indifference lay hidden truths and unexpected gestures of kindness. Her mother, long dismissed as a mere maid and a source of family shame, held secrets that could unravel the very fabric of Lombardy legacy. Before Firentia could delve deeper into these revelations, however, her world began to shift.
Her uncle's once icy gaze softened, his actions betraying a newfound tenderness towards her. Her grandfather, who had always distanced himself, now sought her company with earnest excuses. Even her cousins, who had tormented her relentlessly, began to show unexpected acts of protection and kindness. Most puzzling of all was the Crown Prince, previously indifferent to her existence, now shadowing her every move with a strange devotion.
Firentia found herself caught in a web of conflicting emotions. Confusion warred with suspicion as she navigated the treacherous waters of newfound familial attention. The very people who had ostracized and hurt her now seemed determined to atone for their past transgressions. Yet, Firentia couldn't shake the nagging feeling that their sudden change of heart held ulterior motives.
"What the hell is wrong with all these people around me who don't even let me live peacefully now," Firentia wondered bitterly. The newfound attention and gestures of kindness felt suffocating, threatening to unravel her resolve and stir emotions she had long suppressed.
As Firentia unraveled the mysteries surrounding her family and herself, she faced a choice: embrace the warmth offered tentatively by her newfound allies, or guard herself against the potential for deeper betrayal.
