We are a Family
"Ivy, do you remember when you were younger, I've told you that we are not descendants of noble blood?" The Duke started explaining with a serious face, and Ivy nodded.
Ivy encountered this part of the villainess story when she was teased at one of the social events she went to many years ago.
It was the summer tea party at the marquis mansion, and Ivy was ten years old. After taking the role as a Villainess for two years, she felt exhausted attending social events as she thought she was always very unwelcome by them. On top of that, after she met Gregory and Gracie, she felt that just having them and the Prince as her close friends are more than enough for her.
However, being the daughter of the duke and the duchess who love their daughter very much, she felt the need to fulfill her obligations so that she won't bring them shame.
