I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
Expelled from the Leroy Family
Narrator
Leticia Leroy was ordinary. Her face was neither pretty or ugly, her height neither tall nor short, nothing she could do or couldn’t do particularly well, she was just nice…
Narrator
However, Leticia was the “naughty girl” and “apple of the eye” of the Marquis Leroy family.
Narrator
And if that wasn’t enough, she was the object of comparison with her siblings everywhere she went. Sadly, it was all too common.
Narrator
She was not as pretty as her second sister Diana, not as smart as her third brother Emil, and not as good with a sword as her fourth brother Xavier, and she wasn’t as talented for magic as her youngest sister Irene.
Narrator
But Leticia never once felt jealous or envious of her siblings. In fact, she was proud of them.
Narrator
And yet, she never knew that her family was ashamed of her. That was, until the moment her family abandoned her.
Voice
That’s how I told you to go meet people.
Leticia’s shoulders slumped at the sharp look and cold voice. Unable to look at him properly, she lowered her head, he shouted even more harshly.
Voice
I told you to stay away from the Duke of Achilles!
Leticia Leroy
But he’s really nice…
Voice
Look how your sister got hurt when you hung out with the Duke of Achilles!
Leticia Leroy
[I raised her head in surprise at Marquis Leroy’s words.]
Leticia Leroy
Diana, what’s wrong…..?
There was a bandage around Diana’s wrist that wasn’t there yesterday. Before Leticia could approach Diana out of concern, Marquis Leroy stood in front of her. It was as if he was trying to protect Diana from something inauspicious.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Are you trying to bring misfortune to us by tangling with that ill-fated family?
[Misfortune is contagious.]
So stay away from the unlucky and the unhappy. That was what Marquis Leroy always told Leticia.
She had to be more careful because she was unlucky. But she didn’t know why those words came to her mind now.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Leticia Leroy.
Leticia Leroy
[I stiffened at the sound of the voice calling my name.]
It was just a name call. But why was her heart beating so fast and she felt suffocating?
The moment she locked gazes with the Marquis, thinking it was her imagination, Leticia seemed to be driven off the cliff. Her lips trembled at the somewhat ominous premonition.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
You’re expelled from the Leroy family.
She felt a thud under her feet along with the sound of something large falling on her head.
Frustrating!
Narrator
She felt suffocated as she spoke, barely able to keep her voice together. She hoped the Marquis would tell her it was a lie, but there was no pity in his gaze.
Narrator
Leticia squeezed her trembling hands and turned to her family. She wished with all her heart that anyone would help her.
Narrator
But there was no one.? It was as if they had been waiting for this day to come.
Narrator
It was then that Leticia realized that her family was always looking for an opportunity to get rid of her. This was just an excuse to kick her out.
Leticia Leroy
My family is abandoning me.
Narrator
In the end, the tears she was holding back flowed down her cheeks.
Narrator
In fact, she faintly knew that such a day would come. Her family always thought of her as a troublemaker, or something they wanted to get rid of quickly.
Narrator
But when she actually faced them in front of her, there was nothing she could say. Her family was everything to Leticia.
Narrator
She loved them even though she knew they looked down on her and ignored her.
Narrator
But what came back was contempt and coldness. Marquis Leroy turned away sharply as he spoke.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
From this day on, you are no longer my daughter, and do not even think of taking another step in this place.
Narrator
Leticia sank helplessly. Soon the Marquise and her siblings walked past her.
Narrator
She wept unceasingly at their cold appearance, not even looking back. That was how Leticia was abandoned by her family.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
I feel better now that we have finally gotten rid of this unlucky child.
Narrator
The Marquis’s mouth rose gently as he watched Leticia walk out of the mansion.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Diana won’t get hurt any more, and only good things will happen now.
Narrator
Now that Leticia, who was associated with the ill-fated family was gone, only good things would happen in the future.
Narrator
However, on the same day that Leticia was exiled, the bronze shield with the Leroy family’s emblem suddenly fell and broke.
Narrator
For generations, the three children of the Helios Empire were born with special abilities.
Narrator
First, the House of El had abilities related to academics and knowledge, which were now perishable.
Narrator
Second, the House of Erebos had abilities in swordsmanship and martial arts.
Narrator
Finally, the House of Leroy had abilities in various fields.
Narrator
However, the eldest daughter, Leticia, had not yet awakened any abilities, as if she was a stranger with no relation to them.
Marquess [Leticia’s Mom]
I think it’s your child.
Narrator
Marquis Leroy looked at Leticia with a disgruntled look on his face. Next to him, his wife comforted the Marquis.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
But I’m glad there are other children.
Leticia Leroy
I’m sorry, Father, Mother…
Narrator
Whenever they said this, Leticia couldn’t look her parents in the eyes, as if she had become a sinner.
Narrator
As she bowed her head deeply, the Marquis’ deep voice descended from above her head.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Are you sure there is none? Not even something useless?
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Can you stop saying sorry?
Marquess [Leticia’s Mom]
Honey, calm down.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
It is frustrating to look at the ashes. Frustrating!
Narrator
Leticia didn’t know how she came to be inferior to her siblings.
Marquess [Leticia’s Mom]
Please be patient for tomorrow.
Narrator
His wife gently wrapped her arms around him, and he nodded with a more relaxed look on his face.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
My wife is right. Our second daughter’s birthday is coming up soon, so we have to be patient.
Narrator
Marquis Leroy and his wife loved Diana the most, even though her abilities were far more unsightly than those of their other children.
Narrator
It was because as soon as Diana was born, everything mysteriously fell into place at a time when they were poor and went through hardship that they had to lower their titles.
Live in Shame
Marquess [Leticia’s Mom]
I’m going to go see if everything is ready for the party.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
I’ll come with you.
Narrator
When his wife rose from her seat and the Marquis naturally followed her. Leticia, who was left alone, could only stare silently at their backs.
Leticia Leroy
My birthday has passed and yet…
Narrator
Leticia cared so much for her brother’s and sister’s birthdays, but not even a single small gift was given to her on her birthday.
Narrator
Not only that, they forgot about it every year and looked at her pitifully when she told them it was her birthday.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
[How old are you already to talk about your birthday?]
Narrator
Her father’s voice rang in her ears that her birthday was not that big of a deal. Beside him, her mother didn’t complain, but she didn’t say anything, as if she felt the same way as her father.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
A disaster…
Narrator
Now, she stopped expecting any gifts. She just wanted to hear them say ‘Happy birthday’.
Narrator
However, her parents and siblings never congratulated her. It was as if even that was a luxury.
Narrator
If her ability had awakened, her parents wouldn’t have disapproved of her, nor would her siblings have ignored her. So this was all her fault.
Narrator
Leticia then let out a shallow sigh and was about to head back to her room when a presence came right in front of her eyes. Diana stood there with a frown on her face.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Can you please move out of the way?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Do you know you’re blocking the way?
Narrator
Hearing Diana’s annoyed voice, Leticia quickly stepped aside with a panicked look on her face.
Leticia Leroy
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.
Narrator
But Diana didn’t even pretend to hear her. Suddenly, Diana stopped abruptly and approached Leticia again. Before Leticia could ask if she had anything to say, Diana spoke first.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
How long are you going to embarrass us?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
You know how embarrassed we are because of your incompetent?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
You should live in shame.
