Calix

I waited six years for my husband, and he returned with his first love.

But what should I do?

Because the lady of this mansion is still you.

You can take back your husband's love, or you can take away everything he loved. Or, you can forget about your husband altogether and rise higher.

This is the Grand Duke's family that you protected for six years.

You don't need to give up the ending to someone else, do you?
