A whole year.
I survived a whole freaking year in this royal palace. Not just survived—thrived.
I, Lavinia Devereux, the supposed neglected villainess-to-be, flipped the script so hard I probably gave fate whiplash.
I was supposed to be ignored, tossed aside, and forgotten by everyone. Especially by Papa. But guess what? Plot twist, universe!
The whole empire knows me now. And more importantly—
I GOT ALL THE PAPA LOVE I DESERVED.
Sure, his face is always set to Tyrant Mode™, but actions speak louder than words, right?
And boy, did Papa's actions scream adoration.
Exhibit A: He executed those maids for neglecting me. Ruthless? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
Exhibit B: He assigned me a personal nanny. Handpicked by Papa himself. No less than the best for his precious little heir.
Exhibit C: A whole parade of guards? Just for me? Oh yes. I now have my own imperial security squad, ready to wage war at the slightest whimper.
