Battle for the title. This is not a rare occasion for nobles to fight for the position of the heir, especially for those families who have more than one son. But what is uncommon was ladies of the family fighting for the position.
From the beginning, Count Harrison has already decided that the title will not be given to his one and only blooded daughter, Tine Alvarado. This made him hopeless about finding someone suitable and worthy in order to replace him. However, upon seeing the cleaver and charismatic Laura, he made up his mind in making her the heir.
Being the heir means sacrificing many things in life and Count Harrison wanted to protect his daughter from the corrupted men. Corruption will never be depleted as this is something the majority of the people have decided to do. They are people who are greedy for power and fame. They are people who would dirty their hands and do anything for their own gain and satisfaction.
