Yuan first met Louise 10 years ago.
To maintain the reputation of the Peliesse family, known for producing renowned medics for generations, her parents were always busy.
Her father, the head of the family, mingled with medics in the capital, while her mother assisted him by attending events.
Young Yuan could only meet her parents during winter, as they returned to the Peliesse mansion to plan and prepare for the next year.
Throughout all other seasons, Yuan wrestled with loneliness, chasing her father’s traces in his study, and lingering in her mother’s bedroom, searching for her scent that lingered from the winter.
Her parents said that living such busy lives was the fate of the Peliesse.
Nobles don’t work, but the Peliesse are different.
The Peliesse had such renown because the first head of the family was a famous medic who had once saved an ancient emperor from death.
They should never forget their roots and must preserve the power of the Peliesse.
While her parents were strict, they were also affectionate.
That’s why Yuan always looked forward to winter.
Parents and Yuan – it was good to have such a perfect family at home.
Oh, wait.
To be ‘perfect,’ Louise needed to be there, too.
Louise was Yuan’s sister, whom Yuan, then 10 years old, had never met.
She was said to be recuperating in a warm southern island due to an incurable illness, even with all the Peliesse’s efforts.
[Yuan, my dear. Finally, we can bring your sister to the Peliesse mansion. Be happy.]That winter, at age 10, Yuan was overjoyed by the short letter from her mother.
Finally, her sister was coming to the mansion.
Now, in this large mansion where she was alone during her parents’ absence, she would have a small family to rely on.
Parents, Louise, and herself, four of them would spend the winter in the mansion.
The mere thought filled young Yuan with overwhelming joy.
From that day, she indulged in happy fantasies.
A 12-year-old girl beautifully dressed, smiling at Yuan.
Their parents watching them contentedly from behind.
Walking the hallways together which she always walked alone, playing among the servants, who always seemed indifferent.
Even choosing dresses for the debutante ball at the royal palace, a dream of every girl.
Just imagining it made her happy.
But the reality that hit was the complete opposite of her dreams.
“My lady, your mother… your father…”
Hasty footsteps.
The massive front door swinging open, letting in a blizzard.
Knights with icicles in their beards and a pale-faced butler.
“Bringing Miss Louise, they met with an accident in the snow…”
A knight kneeling and weeping, behind him another knight sheltering a girl, who stepped into the mansion.
Her face, reddened from the cold and stiff with unshed tears, froze upon seeing Yuan.
Then, as if struck by lightning, she staggered toward Yuan.
“You must be Yuan.”
Her trembling voice was so frail.
“You’re my sister.”
The girl, seemingly lost for words, took another step closer to Yuan.
“I’m your sister, Louise Peliesse.”
Then she pulled Yuan into her cold embrace.
Over Louise’s slender shoulder, Yuan saw two shrouds covering something.
It was their parents’ bodies.
The Peliesse family’s tragedy was not particularly unique.
The count and countess’s death was a common winter carriage accident.
The situation of children left to relatives after losing their parents was quite ordinary.
The arrival of an uncle and his family to inherit the title in a house left with only children was not unusual.
“Now we are all Peliesse!”
For young Yuan, the uncle was a stranger she had seen for the first time.
“Now we are truly one family!”
But the care and attention Yuan expected from a family were non-existent.
Yuan had to accept a new family before she could even recover from the grief of losing her parents.
“Ah, this is my brother’s study.”
Garrett Peliesse, her uncle with artificially greased curly black hair, plopped his hefty body onto the chair at the desk filled with her father’s remnants, touching the majestic chair armrest sentimentally and rubbing his cheek against the desk.
“To think I’d sit here.”
Opening the safe and clicking his tongue, he turned to Yuan, standing motionless at the study door, and bluntly asked, “Didn’t your father hide any gold or land deeds in this safe?”
Her aunt Priscilla was a very short, thin woman, heavily made up and teetering in high heels. She ransacked her mother’s bedroom, which still carried her scent.
“Even if the household is modest, there are plenty of valuable items.”
Priscilla, dressed extravagantly, frowned at the closet filled with her mother’s neat clothes.
“Expected more from a noble family, but all these clothes smell of books.”
She dismissed most of the maids and filled the Peliesse mansion with her own people, sold her mother’s jewelry, and remodeled the mansion to her taste.
“Does this little girl know how to read the accounts?”
