Chapter 0: Prologue

There was such a novel.

A romance fantasy.

A story where a struggling heroine meets a male protagonist and they fall in love.

Thinking of such a novel, I also read this web novel.

Sergia County, a prestigious family of Magic.

There was an illegitimate child living almost abused in the attic.

Yudith, born from the Count’s irresponsibility, wasn’t even given a name from her family.

She was just living, almost confined to the attic.

A girl who didn’t receive proper education and just continued her life.

And the New Maid who abused her.

The maid, who hadn’t been in the County for long and hadn’t adapted,

was ostracized by the other maids and began to vent her resentment on Yudith.

Yudith, who had lived receiving the maid’s abuse and her family’s indifference,

awakens to a powerful Magic talent and escapes the County.

‘It’s a more common cliché than I thought, she’ll take revenge and all that, how obvious.’

A predictable story.

Yudith, who escaped from the County, sells her Magic abilities and is entrusted to another family.

But even there, she is only exploited for her Magic talent,

and Yudith, who is not treated like a proper person, becomes disillusioned with the world.

‘What, where’s Part 2? Are they just leaving Yudith like this and abandoning the series?’

The first part of the novel ended like this, concluding with the birth of a villain threatening the world.

But after that, it was marked with an “abandoned” tag.

I couldn’t close my mouth as I looked at the last episode of the novel, which only gave sweet potatoes without any satisfying resolution and ended in vain.

The countless plot threads that were laid out remained unresolved, becoming a thirst that created frustration.

I couldn’t close my mouth due to the unresolved thirst, and when I looked at the clock,

it was already past dawn.

Even though I had a day off from school, it wasn’t good to have my days and nights reversed like this, so

I set an alarm thinking I should sleep a little.

In my fading consciousness, I pondered the unpleasant novel.

How did this happen?

“…Hello?”

“…He…llo…?”

I saw Yudith standing right in front of me.

A girl, so dirty and grimy that she was covered in dust, couldn’t meet my eyes and stood there hesitantly.

An attic covered in dust.

A yellow blanket that I don’t know when it was washed.

Inside the room, there were even dishes that hadn’t been cleaned properly, with mold growing and even mushrooms sprouting.

The girl was living in this place that I didn’t know whether it was a garbage dump or an attic.

The girl with yellow hair matted with grease that I don’t know when she washed it was almost crying.

Thinking that she would be scolded if she cried, she bit her lip, clutched her rag-like clothes, and held back her tears.

I sighed softly in frustration and lowered my head to meet Yudith’s eyes.

The red eyes containing Magical power, which were a symbol of Sergia County, were shaking, unable to look at me properly.

I don’t know why, but

I had possessed the New Maid who was tormenting Yudith.
