The Tyrant Duke Is The Father
Chapter 1 - Treasure
When a shooting star cuts the sky into two, only for a small second, a portal opens up between two worlds.
It's telling people that, somewhere out there, in the vast world of the unknown, someone is looking at the exact same shooting star as you are.
You no longer feel alone, and even if you're looking at it with a stranger, the warmth doesn't disappear just like that.
My Mother used to tell me that tale, one of centuries old. Out of all of her stories, this one was my favourite.
Even if she was ostracised for giving birth to a child out of wedlock, she still adored me.
I was her little Rosie, and no one could take me away from her.
I was reassured by those words, however, I never expected that life take her away from me.
An epidemic shot through all of the villages of the North, killing hundreds upon thousands.
No cure was found... and just like that, my Mother whom I adored passed away.
That very same day, a man came to my house and was surprised to even see me.
He knelt down and smiled warmly, telling me that I was his daughter and that I belonged in the House of Julian.
I didn't like him. The expensive clothes that he wore, the golden cufflinks and the necklace encrusted with rubies would have been enough for the whole village to survive on for four years.
But I had no choice but to take that hand and get pulled into the trap that was noble life.
From the moment I took his hand, my life was no longer my own. It was the property of my Father, to use as he pleased.
I hadn't realised that until it was much too late.
He brought me in, at the age of 5, to his home, where he introduced me to his wife, May Bertha Julian, and my half-sister, Annabeth Fredemay Julian.
Count Frederic Julian
This is your home now... and this is your Mother and sister!
Annabeth hated me, but not more than her Mother.
I never once called that woman my Mother, and I think that she liked that I didn't.
After all, I looked nothing like my Father or my step-mother.
All of my appearance, including my pink hair and beautiful yellow eyes, was thanks to my Mother.
May Bertha Julian
Clean this up, Rosalie.
Annabeth Fredemay Julian
Haha, look at the mess that she's in!
Although I was the illegitimate daughter, they soon understood that it wasn't a good idea to bully me.
Count Frederic Julian
Do NOT undermine Rosalie just because she is new in this household, May.
Count Frederic Julian
She's my daughter, which means more to me than a replaceable wife.
My Father spoiled me unconditionally, but I knew that it was only because I resembled my Mother so much.
He told me how they met and fell in love, but because of the Dukedom and title, he had to marry the daughter of another Count in order to gain more power, so he left my Mother.
Count Frederic Julian
We loved each other so much. I promised her that I'd always love her.
I despised my Father, how someone so materialistic could have made my Mother fall for him and give herself to him was beyond me.
Not only that, but get married to another woman and make lxve to her so many times that a baby popped out.
But slowly, he began to redeem himself little by little in my eyes, protecting me and even announcing that he was making me his legitimate daughter to the world.
Though he wasn't cruel to me and made sure to gift me as much as I wanted, his intentions were... blurred.
Little did I know the reason why he was buttering up to me all of those years...
If I had known, would I have run away?
