The story unfolds amidst the Eerie backdrop of a Dark Forest drenched in moonlit blood bodies litter the ground and amidst the Carnage stands Lucia the Lone Survivor it was rather unrealistic scenery Lucia the eldest daughter of the prestigious count family kneels beside a fallen man desperation etched on her tear stained face she implores him to awaken her voice trembling with grief Lucia kneels beside a fallen man her Eyes filled with tears she implores him to awaken but to no avail Lucia's heart wrenches with regret as she reflects on how she isn't family considering how he
ignored him yet he still risked his life to save her however it was too late to regret it now the eldest daughter of the count family Lucio langis is the product of a heartless and strategic marriage because of that after her mother's funeral Lucia's father welcomed his son into the family he fathered out of Wedlock with his beloved mistress as people's attention was focused on the favored son of the patriarch Lucia naturally became a scapegoat Luccia was treated as someone who did not belong to the family then one day Lucia's father and her step-mother died
in a carriage accident and only her stepbrother Claude survived at their funeral murmurs of concern surrounded them as people wondered who would take on the role of head of the family since both Luccia and Claude were still young as the funeral was nearing its end a man appeared claiming to be Lucia's maternal Uncle he suggested Lucia be the head of the family as the true air with real tradition is not a little boy like Claude though Lucia initially hesitates the man reminds her of the the ill treatment she received after her mother's death he remarks
that he doesn't want to see his niece treated unfairly and pleads with her to consider It she says she understands him but the decision isn't up to her he tells her to trust him and follow him as it's something only she can do hearing these words was enough to shake a 12-year-old child like Lucia she had been living trapped in the shadow of her deceased mother being treated as a failure until now since then many things have been lavished upon Lucia like rewards money that seems inexhaustible overflowing attention and the freedom to do anything Taking
advantage of her sudden windfall Lucia's Uncle Joseph took her to gambling dens and took advantage of the moment when she couldn't get her bearings what happened to Claude and how the family was fairing Lucia had no time to worry about these things she quickly fell into Indulgence and pleasure as Joseph intended soon Lucia began to suffer from hallucinations and became increasingly sensitive unaware that she was destroying herself time passed Quickly and before Lucia realized it she became became an adult she was soon kidnapped by her uncle to sell her off and he also revealed to
her that she was a legion Legion is an entity that manifests powerful abilities Beyond human limits there's no difference from an ordinary person but changes in physical appearance occur when using abilities Joseph reveals how despite being a powerless Legion it is a fortune that she is being sold for much more Than average for this marriage Lucia confronts him and reminds him that she is the head of the family but Joseph spits that she is a mere facade of a head he reveals how it is agreed upon by all the relatives and even if she disappears
no one will worry or care about her and even if she's powerless he assures her that her next Master will treat her well Lucia couldn't even move to escape as she had been drugged by Joseph Lucia could feel the Despair and Wonder whether she would die in vain like this what has she been living for until now in this helpless Darkness the only one who came to save Lucia was Claude Lucia could never confuse him with another person even though much time has passed Claud asked her to run away to a place where no one
could ever find her and he remarks that with this his duty to protect her as a family is fulfilled and so the moment her Lifesaver lost his Vitality Lucia Awakened her ability as a healing Legion to think that the uncle she chose betrayed her and the brother whom she ignored saved her life Lucia resents herself for not being able to save Claude she wishes to turn back time and tell Claude not to save someone like her the wounds Lucia was absorbing to save Claude are no longer hauntingly flooding back through her hands with pain just
when she thought she would lose Consciousness too a man approaches her He remarks that he thought the legendary healing Legion only existed in Legends but seeing how she's been exposed to poison for so long it's already irreversible he States how her brother is already severely injured but originally with his self-healing ability he could have saved his own life he further comments that if she had this level of power she could have saved his son too although it's all too late now seeing her determination to live he Proposes to Grant her a chance at life but
in return he must have her heart so Lucia is swiftly transported to a funeral parlor and is slapped by a woman she wonders whether this is all a dream she tries to recall what happened but after that man's last words she has no memory she gets cut off from her thoughts as the woman angrily scolds Lucia for daydreaming even the ant who slaps her out of nowhere the eyes pretending to be worried but actually Just spectating it's all like the same funeral when Lucia was 12 this makes her wonder whether she really did go back
in time the woman continues scolding her but halts as Luccia brazenly slaps her across the face she has decided not to be obedient anymore she knew Aunt vein always hated her and coveted the family fortune greedily hence she must have been involved in Lucia's death but she isn't the only one all the adults here were blinded by money she is fully aware Now that the life of an innocent girl is just a walk in the park for these people such a dreadful life once is enough as her aunt continues to make crude remarks Lucia's eyes
search for Claude in the the crowd upon spotting him she makes her way towards Claude and greets him he seemed mature for his age but still being 10 years old in witnessing the accident she is sure he must be deeply troubled they weren't the best parents to her but they must have been Exceptionally kind parents to Claude Luccia reaches her hand out saying that from now on they will take care of themselves Claude agrees and shakes her hand though it is awkward right now Lucia is certain they will get to know each other gradually While
others may not know for Claude Lucia vows to try her best to fulfill her role as a family Lucia couldn't believe that she had traveled back in time and returned to her attic room Lucia hadn't recognized The man before since she wasn't in her right mind but thinking about it now she realizes he is the head of the heartt dynasty Marcus Von Hart he is the most powerful Legion in existence someone who sits at top the aristocracy she doesn't know why he massacred the legions she wonders if he got the hint that she was captured
and whether there's a possibility that he traveled back in time as or did something with her heart like he said back then no matter what The variables are Lucia is glad she can now freely manipulate healing Legion power which she couldn't handle in the past but first she decides to meet with Duke Hart in the past all sorts of rumors circulated in the casino the day Lucia's identity was revealed was no different one day Lucia got to hear about how the heir to the heart Kingdom's ability went berserk and he died anyone whether Noble or
commoner could become a legion if their ability Was activated it is a special power that only a very few people awaken to but once awakened Legions are required to register with the state and serve as weapons of war the Duke of Hart was even famous among the legions Lucia had heard that the Duke's son could no longer control his power but to be devoured by his own power and die was indeed tragic while listening to her gambling friends talk Lucia's headache became severe and she collapsed they were then shocked to Discover that Lucia was a
legion she thinks it must have been around that time that it entered her uncle's ears that she was a legion the powerless Legion does not have a unique destructive ability but it has all the external characteristics hence it was sometimes traded secretly at a high price to wealthy people who liked rare things it seems Lucia's mother the only one who knew about her ability didn't even tell her father count langis she Remembers how her mother told her how her father crawled into that filthy house even when she was holding her he even married again and
asked Lucia if she had seen the child his woman gave birth to her mother remarked that he was the spitting image of him and asked her why she didn't look like him Lucia Ponders whether she wants to hide the fact that something's wrong with her daughter she gets cut off from her thoughts as Joseph approaches her even Though the funeral was over the relatives did not leave the Mansion they said they would stay for a few more days to mourn the deceased but thinking about what happened in the past she doubts taking it literally Joseph
talks to Lucia and points out her beggar-like State he pies her by fainting kindness and suggests she go to the boutique with him Luccia agrees but another aim lies deep in her mind since Joseph used her to his advantage in the past she is Determined to suck him dry and leave him this time and so at the boutique Lucia chooses many dresses for herself amounting to a huge bill that shocks Joseph but he decides to give into swallowing up the family later the scene shifts to Lucia discreetly entering through a back door as she looks
for the heart artifact someone pulls her to them it was a young boy who commented on how he finally found her before Lucia can say anything the boy pulls her closer to Him he warns her not to look up up as he's coming this way it turns out he was referring to her uncle who was looking for her Joseph had thought everything was fine since she was acting all high and mighty but seeing how she suddenly ran away frustrates him he spots a blackhaired boy in a corner with a girl in his arms that resembles
Luca before he can approach the pair he halts as the boy looks at him weirdly certain Lucia would never be with a kid like that he Leaves the boy lets her go and suggests that she seems like a lost Noble lady wandering in that attire he gives her hiso asking if she really wants to get caught as soon as they part ways and asks her to be on her way Luccia gazes at the boy though he seems to have a hoty side in the end he has been helping her all along lucus Smiles at him
sincerely thanks him and hopes everything goes well for him running into someone like this by chance makes Lucia feel like it's a good start the boy wonders who she is to help him he advises her not to sneak and to look at him confidently if she wants to see him and if she has something to say she must not hold back lucious surrounds him with questions asking why he helped her and whether he is being chased too she exclaims stating they are in some sort of partnership then the boy said that they were in a
similar situation due to which he helped this makes Lucia realize That this is why he was just pretending to know her earlier she thanked him for the help and asked where he was headed the boy says anywhere as long as it's away from that person he then has her covered with his cloak Lua steps into a shop she spots a legion gauge inside it isn't something one sees in an ordinary Tavern so it seems like Lucia has come to the right place she states that she is here to meet Mr Calvados Calvados is the name
of a brandy distilled from Apples and known only to a few it's also the Alias of Duke Hart the staff member asks Lucia to get her parents permission first if she wants to drink brandy she states that she isn't addressing Brandy like an ordinary customer and the man says he's not someone a young lady should meet Lucia questions what if she is a legion too the man says that she shouldn't come here if she is really a legion she should inform the Royal Court and follow the proper procedures lucus Says she came to see Mr
calvado because she doesn't want to reveal it to the Royal Court she reveals how she's a legion with healing abilities causing the man to Flinch the man SI wondering who on Earth leaked the information to this kid about how Mr Calvados is looking for healing Legions this frustrates Lucia to prove her identity Lucia reaches for the legion gaug instantly the gauge lightens up throughout the room astonishing the man Her immense power even causes the gauge to break down a while later Lucia is served sweet tea she sigh as she recalls the man's complete change of
attitude the moment he found out she was a legion he had then excused himself probably to meet Duke Hart but Lucia didn't expect him to lose the shop right away soon enough the man in question Duke Hart arrives at the shop as soon as the man sees Lucia he frowns this makes Lucia wonder whether the Duke remembers his Past life as well the Duke slams his hands on the table hard and glares at Lucia coldly he asks Lucia where she got those clothes from she says it was a gift to which he asks from whom
Lucia wonders why she is being interrogated the man approaches them too and suggests the Duke tone down the aggressive attitude as she's just a kit but Lucia protests that she's 12 and they should not treat her like a child the Duke then reveals he asked without thinking as his Son wears clothes of that size Lucia wonders if the Duke really doesn't know her if he had remembered his past life he would have asked her to leave and made a direct request for trade a heart Duke Lucia saw then seemed really desperate to save his son
but even if he doesn't remember his past life the fact that their interests are aligned won't change Lucia is determined not to make a mistake as the Duke is the best weapon to destroy the damn Joseph and his Relatives the Duke suggests moving to another place and she follows they soon moved to a private place to check Lucia's abilities it was a space in the back of the store that Lucia didn't know existed it's a place where not even a single breath can escape the Duke asks Luccia to show him some of her abilities right
now by showing him the wound on his hand Luccia agrees thinking of Claude who was dying for her it wasn't difficult to use her abilities maybe It's because Lucia has never really wanted to save someone before and to everyone's surprise the wound disappears without leaving a single trace however the Duke remarks that it seems she transfers people's wounds to herself Lucia was indeed caught the Duke asks how much she can use her abilities Lucia answers that she hasn't used it to its limits but she can heal any anyone but when he asks about the dead
she denies it the Duke stares at Lucia he then says She has different abilities than others but he doesn't get why she came to him her abilities are unique and she is quite greedy he then asks her to go home for now his words surprise Lucia but she knew that if she backed down here everything might fall apart she needs to throw out a bait that he absolutely cannot refuse a bait that he can never ignore she asks if he is okay she reminds him that the stronger the legion the easier it is for them
to be Corrupted by their power and if they are unlucky they might even die she confidently states that her healing ability isn't limited to wounds and she can even stop the son of the Duke of Hart from going berserk this shocks him and he asks what she wants from him she responds that she just wants to borrow his power until she comes of age she reveals how her parents passed away after which her relatives began fighting among themselves all she wants is for Her brother to inherit the family safely as a true descendant and until
then she pleads with the Duke to be her Guardian vowing to make sure he never regrets it after meeting the Duke of Hart Lucia returns safely to the Count's Mansion throughout the day she heard a lot of nagging from Joseph who was constantly looking for her but Lucia barely paid attention with one ear as Joseph's nagging wasn't worth her time she then reaches claude's room and inquires about His health she could see all sorts of flowers toys that a normal 10-year-old boy would like and snacks as he responds honestly Lucia realizes he hasn't changed since
she first met him even in a situation like this where he must be careful he is the kind of kid who answers honestly and neatly this makes Lucia wonder why she resents him so much she asks Claude if he wants to be the head of the family shocking him he replies that he doesn't know she reveals How the relatives have been individually approaching them for the position busy calculating who to put forward is their puppet right now they must think that young children like them are easy targets she tells him that she will refuse all
those offers and that he should do as he pleases Claude asks why he's telling her this he then asks if she hates him it was true that Lucia didn't trust her family it is because there were no good memories the Stepmother who only scolded her when they met the father who ignored her and the mother who was obsessed with that father moreover with the stepmother and relatives Lua was destined to be stabbed in the back but when the blindfold was removed the moment when the light Shawn in the darkness Lucia doesn't think she will ever
forget that and so Lucia honestly tells Claude that she doesn't dislike him she tells him how they are the only real f for each other left in This world so she has decided not to hate him anymore Claude asks if she doesn't want to inherit her father's estate and Lua says he isn't interested in that she rapidly declares how she has resolved to be someone who knows moderation and integrity after that Claude even decided to have her room changed to something more proper later Duke Hart comes to meet Lucia as Lucia approached downstairs the mood
was pretty tense a mismatched combination Luccia politely curtsies the Duke introducing herself as the eldest daughter of the family due to how remarkable Duke Hart is Lucia could see that even Joseph and Teresa were swayed by him Lucia's eyes fall on the huge pile of gifts in a corner the Duke notices her looks and reveals that there are gifts for her he says that Memorial flowers are later so he thought about what she might like and brought all these Teresa and Joseph questioned how Lucia got acquainted with the Duke before Lucia could answer the Duke
spoke revealing that he was her guardian as Joseph becomes surprised and protests how they never heard about it the Duke claimed that anyone will want to be Lucia's Guardian he confesses how he would even want her to marry his son his statements even shock Lucia and she worries if his intention is to propose or maybe it was just mere flattery the Duke then suggests Lucia show him to her Room so he can see the environment she grew up in this annoys Teresa as she is worried the truth will be revealed about how they abuse and
neglect Lucia Lucia soon shows the way to her room to Duke he kept wondering what this was and whether the Count's Mansion was too small to not even give young children separate rooms her aunt states that this is the punishment room and Lucia is just here temporarily Lucia Chuckles at this statement and says that it is because She lied so confidently that she couldn't help but laugh however even after that Teresa pretended not to know this Lucia bids goodbye to the Duke outside she asks his permission to visit and stay in his Mansion for a
few days so she can check on his son's condition to her surprise he tells her to do as she pleases happy she promises to buy him a gift next time Legions due to their name nature often lack Humanity however the light that enveloped Lucia When she used her ability was so warm as if it would melt away the Duke's Frozen Heart it felt like he was a normal human being no Legion could resist it for sure an enticing ability like that the Duke knew Lucia understood her own values and knew when to retreat and when
not to the subordinate reminds the Duke not to eliminate the fact of how suspicious the girl is in suggests that she might be related to the doctor the Duke states that she was lying and hasn't met any Legions since she has only lived in the Count's Mansion however it is strange that she knew a lot about his abilities many things don't add up he then leaves it to the man to investigate the matter further in this moment the man returns to his original identity Brandon MZ an appearance transformation Legion Brandon then asks if Alex has
returned home to which the Duke Marcus replies that he doesn't know Brandon suggests Alex must be at the age where he's rebelling Against his parents and deep down he knows there could also be Trauma from the day of the massacre Lucia's life has changed a lot since Duke Hart visited the Count's Mansion the most noticeable change was probably her new room it was pretty familiar to her as this was the room she got in her previous life when she made the choice to hold Joseph's hand however unlike her previous life where the room was just
bigger Lucia now has a say in the Mansion thanks to her Newfound courage she was able to kick out the relatives who were staying in the Mansion under the pretext of mourning but Teresa and Joseph were still stubbornly holding out and since they were the representative of the collateral Branch she knew it wouldn't be easy to kick them out as the internal atmosphere became unstable even the servants who used to ignore Lucia started to act very kindly and Lucia doesn't push away those Maids it was Because she knew that was how the faction would become
stronger the servants who are unable to approach Lucia because of the past will become more and more dissatisfied and it is obvious where that Arrow would be headed Lucia considers herself a mere seed in the crack she planted between the servants and she waits until the buds begin to bloom one of the maids Samantha was praised highly by Lucia the other Maids confronted her hypocrisy reminding Her of how she used to tease Lucia the most even letting rats loose in her attic as they argue another maid interjects revealing how the lady fell from the stairs
the doctor reveals that she won't be able to move for a while and should be well fed later Joseph suggests luif fire all the maids for their incompetence but Teresa protests in fact both were trying to bring in their people while Lucia watched in Amusement in the and she had planned all Of this soon Claude comes to visit his sister ignoring his aunt completely the aunt asks for his opinion but Claude suggests it is up to the eldest daughter of the house and so Luccia decides to fire all the maids though Samantha pleads with her
Luccia reminds her of all the times she oppressed her the palace became quiet after the expulsion of all the maids Luccia is glad that she will never have to worry about being caught and sneaking around again as for Claude it seems his leg injury is worse than she thought she tiptoes to to his room she then uses her healing ability to transfer his pain to her all of a sudden Luccia could feel her leg about to break it seems the wound is really big like she expected however before she can quietly leave Claude grabs her
hand he stares suspiciously at Lucia and asks her what she is doing he reveals how he saw a bright light luciia lies saying that a mouse got out of the room and Ended up here this shocks Claude and he asks where as Lucia Retreats she hurts her foot and falls to the floor Claude stands up but he halts as he feels no pain in his leg he asks what she did Luccia didn't plan on revealing her identity right away but it seems she can trust Claude she then reveals how she thinks she is a fairy
and that her abilities have only recently awakened though Claude doesn't believe her at first when Lucia proves it to him he Agrees and Promises to keep it a secret he then hands her his paink cols after learning she can't heal herself the medicine reminds Lucia of the day she saw the rats and how her stepmother hit her and denied her words however ever someone secretly put an ointment on her she smiles while wondering if it was Claude she thanks him and leaves later Claude checks on his wound which has now completely disappeared he decides to
pretend to be sick for a while as Everyone will be surprised if he gets better quickly as he recalls his sister's weak excuse of how a mouse ran in he gets reminded of that day he had asked his mother why she was only strict with his sister he pleaded with his mother to believe Lucia as there really was a mouse in her room however his mother reminded applaud that Lucia's mother took everything she should have she confessed how she enjoys punishing Lucia who has to understand her original Place however Claude didn't agree with his mother
he believed she didn't take anything from his mother and was unable to understand what Luccia had to do with all of this and to Claude it seemed they were the ones taking everything away from Lucia Claude recalls his sister's sincerity and how she called him family but he knows she has the right to hate him the next morning Joseph happily approaches Lucia's room but she act accidentally opens the door in his face He tries convincing her to hire the maids He suggests but she interrupts him and reveals her plans to talk to Duke har Joseph
excitedly volunteers to go with her but she refuses she says she worries over the Duke taking back his guardianship as he doesn't like cowards and so Lucia gets ready to leave she meets Claude near the carriage and says goodbye she suggests he enroll in an academy in the meantime without hesitation Claude agrees to do what she Says surprising Lucia though she worries about she shrugs her thoughts aside as a much more important plan is at stake she meets the Duke upon arriving at the heart Mansion Marcus notices her broken leg and points it out Lucia
reveals she accidentally injured herself to this end the Duke told her walking with Twisted legs was unnecessary he picks her up and makes her sit on a chair this dumbfounds Lucia but she remains silent on the matter she then reveals her gift to him Seeing the Cake The Duke frowns asking if she thinks they don't serve their guests but Lucia reveals that she she bought it for him in return for what he did Marcus agrees and Lucia orders the servants to bring two of everything making him smile Lucia then requests that he recommend servants as
the Count's Mansion had to fire all Maids due to their negligence the Duke agrees to it Lucia then mentions whether the young Duke is at home so she can check Up on him Marcus replies in the affirmative saying he is in his room but he warns her that he is still in a bad state right now but to his surprise Lucia isn't phased in the slightest rather she assures Marcus to leave it up to her saying that's her thing but Lucian never imagined in her dreams that things would turn out like this there's without doubt
that the young Duke is the kid she met in the alley at that time and it seems the young Duke also Recognized her it so happened after Duke Hart who was supposed to accompany Lucia to the young Duke's room only sent her and a servant the servant only brought her to the door and Lucia went in alone after that that's how she ended up in this situation pushed up against the wall the oi asks what she is doing here Lucia politely asks him to step aside for a moment she formally introduces herself to the only
son of the Hart family Alex Hart she reveals how she Came to help with his treatment and smiles Alex asks if this is the reason she appeared in front of him back then confusing her he asks how dare she come in without permission and mess around like a potato he asks if she really thought she would let his guard down if they sent an inexperienced person Lucia becomes anxious after being treated like a spy she thought it was strange since earlier the Duke wasn't going with her the Duke has revealed his son hates him And
runs away as soon as he sees him Lucia asks Alex to stay still as his fever is getting really high she knew he must be stabilized as there must be some residual berserk energy left she has him go to bed revealing that she will need to treat him in an instant Alex could feel the pain in his head that was throbbing start to clear up the pain that was about to make him lose his mind and the destructive Instinct that made him want to see blood All Began Disappearing cleanly it's like the fog is lifting
all at once as the sun comes out however Lucia ends up collapsing over him and doesn't wake up despite his best efforts on the other hand Marcus Ponders over the girl's reasoning for not registering at the Imperial Court she had said that since she's a legion it's a given she will be sent there and used but she stated that she doesn't like the battlefield or being used he and his friend get interrupted as Suddenly Alex barges in he demands his father explain everything to him about who the girl who uses Strange Magic is 3 Days
Later Lucia finally wakes up by this time Marcus had already figured out how she sustained the leg injury and told her not to heal anyone other than her son for now she agrees saying she doesn't have anyone else to treat now that it is confirmed that she can cure Alex it seems she can help him safely become an adult until he is able to Handle his power stably it is because Alex is as strong as a legion but his physical vessel couldn't withstand that power but now they can prevent Alex from being consumed by his
own power out of the blue the Duke mentions the massacre that took place 6 years ago he reveals reveals how Alex was also at the scene and after the scene he said that a lady with wheatlike hair and pink eyes helped him Lucan knew wheatlike hair and pink eyes were rare and the only woman with Such a rare color combination besides Lucia as far as she knows was her mother Chloe langis Lucia Ponders whether her mother has a secret that she doesn't know about Marcus further informs her that a legion is very obsessive in nature
once they Mark someone is theirs they will never let go and since Lucia resembles that woman Marcus judged that wouldn't be a big problem even if she met Alex without warning he thanks her for helping Alex overcome difficulties And wishes her well luus Smiles as she feels happy to have helped someone however unexpectedly her stomach grumbles aloud embarrassing her Marcus suggests she might be hungry since she hasn't eaten for 3 days they reach the dining table and Lucia eats to her heart's fill it had been a long time since she had eaten properly without worrying
about poison in her previous life she was served poison as well but here she doesn't need to worry she Stares at Marcus he had watched over her all night and worried about her after she collapsed she gets cut off abruptly as she sees a cigarette in the Duke's hand however it was candy the Duke reveals that his wife dislikes the smell of tobacco Lucia is surprised at his consideration despite his wife being dead for a long time now Marcus hands her the candy telling her not to hold back he then asks why She fainted this
time while being treated Lucia reveals She doesn't know the reason either and suggests they will know after she treat treats the young Duke again Marcus suggests she stay in the Mansion to avoid suspicion and to get plenty of rest but Lucia says she cannot possibly do that despite him being her guardian and so Marcus suggests marriage saying she wants to use his family either way they get interrupted as Marcus has to go to a meeting urgently but before that he has a personal maid assigned to Lucia The maid introduces herself as Olivia oddly it was
a name quite familiar to Lucia Olivia asks if she needs anything and Lucia says she wants to go for a walk Olivia asks if she wants to be carried as she is having difficulty moving but Lucia refuses they go out for a walk in the Duke's garden with time Lucia observes how the maid has immense strength as they walk they see a young lady yelling at the guards for blocking her way from meeting the young Duke she Says she is the princess of the Empire as well as Alex's fiance this shocks Lua indeed as this
was the position the Duke just proposed to her the emperor had only three children among them was arabel L Brana the Beloved daughter of the Imperial family plus she's the only Legion in the current Imperial family she dominates the popularity of the Empire and is pretty famous however her engagement to Alex heartt wasn't something Luccia had ever heard of even In her past life maybe the engagement between the Imperial family and the duche was executed with extreme secrecy the guards remain adamant and refus to let her in stating they received no notice of guests coming
as they argue Lucia asks Olivia if the engagement scenario is really true Olivia reveals there was no official decision made at the Duke's residence regarding the matter and in other words it is unrequited love from the princess's side Suddenly arabel's eyes meet lucius's she inquires who Lucia is she remarks that she doesn't seem to be from the palace judging by her clothes Olivia answers that she's under the Duke's guardianship arabel grits her teeth in anger and demands Luccia come to her addressing her as a foolish girl Lucia knew she had to handle the situation herself
and made her way to the princess meanwhile Olivia watches the scene unfold anticipating what Miss langes can do arabel asks her Name and Lucia politely answers she then asks if she's a legion but Lucia says no after staring at her for a moment arabel announces that she will give Lucia a special opportunity to have tea with her Lucia knew the princess was just using her to get into the Duke's house but since she didn't want to be hated by the Imperial Court Lucia didn't refuse at te arabel says it is an honor for her humble
family she suggests Lucia go back and brag to to her parents Lucia reveals That they will be proud of her but they passed away recently arabel remarks that it's unfortunate Lucia had thought arabel was just an ordinary Legion but it seems she is a legion of Blood and Tears surprisingly arabel coldly asks her what her relationship with the son of Duke har is she assures arel that they don't have a relationship and have never even met their conversation halts as a maid suggests refilling their teas however she pushes the tea tray towards Lucia on the
other hand Alex was practicing swords manip on the training grounds with the maid Olivia's son Ash they get interrupted as Alex is informed urgently of Princess arabel Alex interrupts him saying he already heard about her arrival though he had been persistently proposing to her since they were young he now reflexively despises her name but his interest Peaks as he hears that Miss Lucia incited the princess he wonders what the little Mashed potato is up to out loud confusing even Ash he tells Ash they will stop sparring for today Ash asks if he is going to
run away but Alex reveals that he is going to rescue her before she becomes a mashed potato for the princess meanwhile the tea had now spilled onto luc's dress though the maid apologizes Lucian knows it was intentional they were taking advantage of her in Olivia's absence she had then kicked out the maids of the dukal family And strongly insisted that she would take over the service Lucia knew there was something fishy going on but these were childish tactics Lucia stands up and immediately pours tea over the maid while she yells the princess watches the in
Amusement Lucia FS innocence saying she made a mistake too she states that indeed a servant is his master's reflection they get interrupted as Alex enters the room making them all noisy he notices Lucia's stained dress and asks Why she looks like a drowned potato arabel asks if it isn't the first time they have seen each other she remarks that they seem very close to their first meeting together Lucia recalls what she said earlier and instantly regrets it she never thought they would meet immediately like this she knows that explaining it vaguely will only anger the
princess more she decides to put on an act and Trust Alex's wisdom she tells the princess it is almost their first Time and since she is under the Duke's guardianship they must have only met briefly before Alex turns to arabel and asks what she is doing in someone else's house arabel says she did nothing and it was Eva the maid says she accidentally dropped the picture while trying to catch it she was certain she wouldn't get caught as there was nothing a lowly girl like Lucia would do plus she thinks the princess will confirm her
argument however her plan comes to an end as the Princess speaks up declaring how she saw Eva deliberately knock over the pitcher she says she is disappointed in her reminding her that as someone said the maid who destroys her dignity will be better off without her after the maid was taken away the princess also took her leave while Lucia takes a bath Alex stands outside she goes to him after dressing up with the maid's help and thanks him Alex shrugs saying it wasn't a big deal He suggests she doesn't move With legs like that or
she will get in trouble Lucia asks if he is worried about her to which he yells that it isn't possible Lucia's expression turns gloomy and he asks if he understands it this causes Alex to blush and he says that isn't what he was trying to say he then offers Lucia advice he tells her not to get involved with this family if she wants to live comfortably and it is best if she cancels everything and leaves he then warns her not to trust Duke Hart Luccia says she isn't stupid enough to obey without knowing the reason
and so Alex hesitatingly reveals that on the day of the massacre the legions were the only ones his father killed but his father also killed his mother time passed quickly at the Duke's residence and the day for Lucia to leave the Mansion soon arrived she decides to meet the Duke before going on her way she approaches his study where the Duke hands her the letters Joseph sent the Contents were as Lucia had expected she then asks if there were any other letters especially from her brother Hy was doing well at the Duke's residence but Claude
was still stuck amid relatives she suggests to the Duke the idea of sending her in intelligent brother to the academy and the Duke agrees he even thanked her for treating Alex well recalling how his son came to meet him personally it's unusual as he hasn't approached his father since the Duchess Iris passed away Lucia notices how just calling his wife's name brings a sense of tenderness to the Duke's voice this makes her wonder if someone like that would have really murdered his wife she suddenly remembers the irises she brought for him she fishes them out
stating that his study doesn't have any flowers though the Duke remains quiet for a while he then randomly blurts out asking Lucia to marry his son he reveals how it will be advantageous for both of Them especially Alex who will be free from The Princess nagging however Luccia couldn't imagine the role however the Duke assured her they could have a divorce after their purpose was fulfilled he shows her the alamon he prepared seeing the almost infinite amount of iros in the contract makes Lucia stunned the next day was Lucia's Covenant ceremony back then the Duke
explained to her that the Covenant ceremony includes a vow made with words It's a contract that binds soul to soul and for that he requires her blood this makes Lucia wonder whether it is a ritual to summon a demon she reaches the Duke study and sees an ancient spell cast on the floor Lucia turns nervous knowing it's illegal ancient magic has long been treated as a lost and extinct power in the Empire where magic engineering flourished in the current ERA the magic that inherited the lineage of ancient magic is termed black magic Marcus reveals how
the former Duke of Hart was very interested in him thanks to Lucia Marcus thinks the ceremony will go smoothly Lucia could feel the Oddity of the atmosphere Olivia suggests the Duke check the condition of the Holy Grail one last time soon enough Alex also arrives Lucia wonders how the Duke managed to persuade him as she had thought Alex would reject her with a cold response Alex asks if she likes him confusing Lucia B she wants to ignore it Because it seems like a Prince's whim considering how she will be seeing him often from now on
she decides to be understanding and gracious she smiles at Alex and agrees that she does like him Alex becomes flushed and immediately looks away he remarks that she says things like that so casually even though she has only seen him a few times it seems the Duke persuaded his son by saying she likes him packaging her like an innocent lamb Alex asks if she is Okay with something that is worse than an arranged marriage Lucia agrees recalling the large amount of alamon he reminds her of how he warned her not to get involved with the
heart family and how it means he can threaten her as well Lucia asserts that people who truly want to kill their opponents don't say things like that instead they hide a knife behind their backs and pretend to be nice so openly saying he is scary won't be believed the Covenant ceremony soon Begins Lucia vows to become a mirror that reflects soul to soul swearing to only look at Alex followed by her Alex also vows to follow only her from the moment when her heart is bound to his intestines after the ceremony Lucia was given a
necklace while Alex wore an earring the Duke then revealed how through this she would be able to find Alex whenever he needed her ashmus became in charge of escorting Lucia back to the Count's place she bids goodbye to Olivia after being lectured by her on staying healthy and eating properly on the carriage ride Lucia remembers an important figure she had forgotten about she didn't recognize her immediately it was Olivia MZ she was not a legion but an ordinary human she was Marcus's reliable right-hand woman and capable lieutenant and in the past she was the infamous
betrayer who deceived Marcus meanwhile Olivia goes to the Duke's study after she has bid Lucia goodbye For her journey Marcus inquires what watching Lucia from the side all day was like Olivia confesses how cute the girl is especially earlier when she came running to her she then reveals that there was nothing suspicious the Duke reminds her to call his daughter-in-law by her proper name and not langes anymore he then asks Olivia if she heard anything from Brandon as he hasn't contacted him Olivia says there weren't the adud in whom Marcus trusts and Entrusts with tasks

M family had fallen after betraying the Duke of Hart the great traitor that that was the nickname that stuck to Olivia after she betrayed Marcus if there's one thing that stands out it's that Ash Manz the son of the traitor did not receive any punishment Despite the numerous criticisms Ash was a member of the Dark Moon Knights of the Duke of Hart family at that time Lucia thought it was none of her business so she didn't dig deeper but now no matter how much she thinks about it it's strange she suggests going to the downtown
area while Ash quietly follows her Ash wonders why the Duke asked him to report about the girl even even though she seems ordinary suddenly Lucia could feel people staring and pointing At her while reading the newspaper she takes one and is shocked to read about herself on the front page she was popular now as the girl who overturned her life and became a duchess as she worries about it Ash spots a camera in Lucia's Direction he discreetly approaches the cameraman and knocks his camera out the man calls him Kelton in Surprise angering Lucia Kelton is

Because of it she tells him off calling him a parasite that lives off other people's lives she even calls him a worthless piece of trash who sells other people's faces without any qualms just because Luccia took away his camera Now does not mean his future will change he will just buy another camera and do the same thing again but she is determined not to let him get away with insulting Ash she has him say not to discriminate based on appearance though Ash didn't Want to take any Revenge Lucia volunteered to add a little touch of
her own and so she kicks Jon to where the sun doesn't shine and all Jon can think of is how he isn't even married yet after buying a present for Claude Lucia decides to head back she even gave Ash some desserts stating how his eyes kept lingering there when they were shopping Ash says he likes it but he immediately regrets remembering how the Duke told him not to say anything except for the Things he said but now that he did he didn't know what to do reaching the test center Lucia sees Claude come out Lucia
asks how his test went but he ignores her question and asks about the marriage proposal she and he sit in the carriage and they discuss their way back when Lucia reveals it is with Alex CL looks at his sister in disbelief he asks if she was forced but Lucia confesses how she fell in love with the young Duke at First Sight her statement not only Shocks Claude but also Ash she begins to describe the reason why she fell for him exclaiming how Alex's hair is dark as night eyes as golden as the sun and colors

him if Alex's character issues despite his appearance Lucia wonders what a child like him knows about love Claude turns to Ash and begins inquiring about the young Duke Ash begins to ponder what to say out of the three options Duke Marcus Gave him he turns to saying he is ordinary Claude says he isn't very good if he is just ordinary Lucia decides to change the subject for the better she reveals to Claude how she brought gifts while he was taking the exam she suggests going home and unwrapping them one by one Claud nods along making
Lucia think he likes it as expected kids are just kids reaching home Claude finds out Lucia bought him a teddy bear and he wonders whether it is a joke he asks his Sister what it is and Luccia says he chose this because he might feel lonely since there's no one he will know at the start of the Academic Year she places the Bear in front of her mouth and voices in a squeaky tone I love you she suggests he hold it tight when he sleeps and Claude takes the bear from her a special report was
soon published revealing the secret hobby of nobles those who held clandestine meetings for black magic research were all arrested Even relatives of the langu family are implicated Lucia suggests that they may have tried to start a new business through black magic when this Scandal broke out in her past life Luccia wondered why Joseph was so happy it turns out it was because the business was led by the Val's family and Teresa was too busy dealing with the case to take control of langes herself but now Lucia is the one enjoying that Joy Claude asks if
she has a hand in this to Which she says not at all all Lucia did was throw a little bait while confronting Jack she asks him about the opera singer Carmela the renowned singer and the famous commoner were soon to be involved in a scandal with the nobility as expected Jack seemed to have been pursuing Carmela and eventually he must have discovered that her romantic partner was involved in Black Magic research originally a journalist with a strong sense of justice investigated the Case but it didn't go well even high ranking nobles were involved and they
all landed in a heap of trouble but this time Jack will be the one getting suit that was just one way to turn the tables Claude stares at his sister wondering what on Earth she is thinking he was shocked by the sudden marriage news but as her half brother he couldn't have stopped her in the first place however if his sister ever gets hurt he is determined to stand by her side Especially to protect her but to do that Claude needs to build enough power to confront the Val's family even if it's just until all
the remaining debts are paid off he hopes to be a helpful brother to his sister Claude ends up easily passing the nzero academy exam before he left for the dorms Lucia advised Claude not to focus solely on academics and to try making friends with similar interests as much as possible Claude interjects and asks if she has Ever been to the scene of the carriage incident after Lucia's father and stepmother died in a carriage accident that incident also injured claude's leg but this is the first time Claude has mention the incident since the funeral Lucia asks
if anything unusual happened at that time plaud turns away saying he was just wondering this confuses Lucia but she decides not to bring up bad memories she waves goodbye to Claude And Promises to write letters to him Claude Agrees to write back and leaves 2 weeks later Lucia visits the duche addressing Marcus's father she enters his study announcing how she's back the way she addresses him takes Marcus aback it even confuses his servants Lucia cheerfully asks if he has been well all this time seeing their reactions she asks the Duke if that was too presumptuous
of her and whether she should call him Duke instead but Marcus says it is all right as since she is legally married to Alex it is Right for her to call him father He suggests she go to her room and rest but he stops her and picks her up stating she might find difficulty finding the way to her room and decid Dees to take her there himself Lucia protests that it is at a different place and smiles Olivia says that now that she is the young Duke's wife he has redecorated her room she reveals how
the room contains a living room balcony and dressing room separately however Lucia asserts that She should stay somewhere else thinking of how it is a whole house Marcus asks if it is too small for her and orders Olivia to have the contractors demolish the walls and turn the entire floor into a room even Olivia agreed to his crazy requests Luccia to protests that this isn't what she wants and says it is too luxurious for someone like her he asks what she means by someone like her Lucia fights back the urge to say something to someone
who's barely holding back their Desire for luxury but truly she thinks that if she gets used to a place like this she might repeat her greedy life from the past she protests saying she prefers somewhere smaller and dimmer like an attic where dust rolls around and bugs appear she stops wondering if she exaggerated it as the atmosphere seems even worse than before the Duke reveals how the room is for her and Alex to share and given the public scrutiny she should stay in the same room as the Daughter-in-law of the hard dukedom if she stays
in a Shabby attic likee place she will be looked down upon so he asks her to just use this room eventually Lucia agrees to use it because the Duke was insisting so much Olivia later reveals to Lucia her true identity as the Duke's Aid she apologizes for hiding her identity from Lucia Lucia also mentally apologizes to her as she already knows Olivia's real identity and that she will soon betray the Duke even Though there is nothing suspicious about her Luccia wonders how she meticulously planned the Betrayal even if she tried to ask Ash for the
