Prologue

Cassandra Allison Claire Von Montefrancesco is the sole and esteemed daughter of the Grand Duke of the Atesian Empire. She possesses a striking individuality that sets her apart from the ladies of all realms. Displaying unparalleled qualities of courage, intelligence, strength, audacity, astuteness, and prudence, she assumes the disguise of a docile creature within the Empire.

Unparalleled in her demeanor, Cassandra defies the conventional notions of sweetness and benevolence exuded by her female peers. On the contrary, she presents herself as a stark contrast.

Regrettably, in the eyes of the populace, she is often portrayed as a malevolent character, causing inconvenience within both the Empire and her own family. Bereft of love and affection, she stands as the proverbial black sheep among her kin.

However, an unexpected twist ensues when a young woman from a nearby village arrives at the Empire. Identifying herself as the true daughter of the Duke, she immediately captures the hearts of all, garnering adoration and admiration. The people assume her to be the Duke's only daughter.

But is this truly the case?

This tale revolves around a villainous lady and an innocent village girl. How will this story unfold?
