Marquis Adallindus was known as a man that was as rich as he was influential in high society. He had contributed a lot to the country, and people could not deny his importance to the Gratiana Empire. 

However, the same cannot be said for his daughter, the infamous Lucretia Adallindus.

She was also well-known in the noble circles, but in quite a different way. Covering herself in lavish jewels and silk dresses, she would torment anyone she saw as beneath her. With her powerful family backing her, she could get away with about anything. 

Lucretia believed herself to be the flower of high society, gathering the attention of everyone around her.

However, everybody only knew her as an unsophisticated braggard that only had her beautiful appearance going for her.

Lucretia would’ve lived her life in total bliss, as she caused trouble for the people around her, until “she” showed up.

The “real daughter of the Adallindus family.”

Unlike the uncouth Lucretia, the real daughter was everything one would expect from a noble. She was graceful, elegant, and loved by all.

Stood in front of “the real one,” Lucretia couldn’t hide the jealousy brewing inside her. 

Envy is a sin.

For that sin, Lucretia walked towards her execution, her feet tripping along the way, as the unfamiliar pain in her feet shot through her body. Falling to her knees in submission, she watched, as the man she loved, brought down her punishment.

“I… If I did things differently… would I have been able to live a better life?”

“Hah! There is no saving a witch as wretched as you.”

As she saw an end to her first life, regret was all she could think about. 

However, having a fateful encounter only after her death, Lucretia returned to the past.

A year before her execution.
