I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
Insulting
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Diana, how did you spend your time today?
Narrator
At the dinner table. Marquis Leroy asked, setting a finely chopped steak down in front of Diana. Diana glanced at Leticia and smiled broadly.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
I had a chat with brother Levion over tea.
Narrator
Leticia, who was silently eating, paused. Even though she was in the mansion, she didn’t know Levion came. It meant that Levion came to see only Diana, and not her.
Narrator
Pretending not to see Leticia, who was frozen and still, Marquis Leroy continued asking Diana.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Young Master Elle?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Yes. He even gave me a present saying he was sorry he couldn’t come to my birthday party.
Narrator
The Leroy and the Elle family were close since childhood and were comfortable calling each other informally.
Narrator
Diana held out her wrist, bragging about how Levion had given her a ruby bracelet.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Isn’t it beautiful?
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
It looks good on you, dear. Do you like it?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Yes! I’ve been wearing this bracelet for a while now.
Narrator
She even waved it deliberately to show it to Leticia as if Leticia couldn’t already see it.
Narrator
Leticia, however, just ate quietly. It was then when Diana lost interest and turned away with a sour face.
Narrator
Somehow, Leticia felt her throat burning, she took a sip of water and sighed.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
He came to give Diana a present.
Narrator
She tried to pretend to be fine, but she couldn’t help but have mixed feelings inside.
Narrator
The reason Levion came to the mansion was not because of her, but because of Diana.
Narrator
There was something else she was upset about.
Leticia Leroy
You didn’t celebrate my birthday. You said it’s a joke.
Narrator
They didn’t get engaged because they loved each other, but they still spent some time together, so she thought there was at least a hint of affection and minimal interest.
Narrator
But now, almost three years after they got engaged, Leticia was not so sure.
Narrator
As Leticia continued to nibble, the Marquis asked Emil.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Emil, how is life at the Academy these days? Are your preparations for the Imperial Civil Service going well?”
Emil [Leticia's third brother]
Yes, I’m working hard, so trust me.
Narrator
Emil, the third son of the Leroy family, was smart to enter the academy, where only one in a hundred could get in, and the professors had high hopes for him.
Narrator
Later, the Marquis asked his fourth son, Xavier, if he should become a member of the Imperial Knights, and gave his fifth daughter, Irene, a worried look, wondering if it would be too hard for her to study at the Academy of Magic.
Narrator
Watching the scene, Leticia tried to swallow a bitter smile.

Is Mary the only person who is kind to her in that household?
