The Marquis' illegitimate daughter's sweet revenge
The Marquis' Béchalot's illegitimate daughter, Melantha Béchalot. She was a living shame to the marquis' family, even though it was not her fault. She has to be grateful to the Marquee Bécholot for giving her shelter and a comfortable life on the surface.
Melantha was a pawn to the Béchalot family to make their daughter Charlotte Béchalot the empress of Ivor. For that, Charlotte needs support and power. Like all noble families, the Marquee sold Melantha in the name of an engagement. The engagement was between the Marquis Béchalot and the Archduke Weselton.
In high society everyone knows this fact, that Marquee Bécholot and Archduke Weselton are hostile to each other. It is a known fact, but to make his precious daughter a favourable empress, Marquee Bécholot made a friendly offer to Archduke Weselton. Marriage agreement, he killed two brides with one shot. But did the young archduke accept this?
Melantha had no choice but to accept this engagement. She has to be useful to the Béchalot family if she wants to live. Even though she knows that she is the puppet of the Marquee, she gladly accepts this fact. Just because she wants to live longer.
If she wants to live, she has to have value in the eyes of the Marquee. Otherwise, that would be the end of her life. So far, she has done everything that Marquee Bécholot had ordered as 'the master of her life'. But it was not a unit then.
Those white-like pearls were half covered with blood spilled on the floor. Her shoulders slumped weakly while she looked up at the person."W-why?....." She was helpless.
"Don't you get that? You're useless now? Father also thinks it would be a waste if you stood next to his grace"
Those flirty words which were coming from her mouth made Melantha's blood boil. She doesn't accept this kind of end! She did everything that she could live with. She endured everything but this kind of end! This is not something she wanted while she was suffering. Was everyone having a comfortable life?
'I don't accept this'
She was determined, even if she had to sell her own soul to the devil inside her.
" I was not a puppet nor a doll, I was not a pet nor an animal, I was a survivor and I was strong. I will not be weak nor helpless again. I would not be broken nor could be tamed. The poisonous dark flower is my only hope".
Suddenly, she was hungry for blood.
It is a bloody sweet yet poisonous reverge of a dark flower named Melantha.
