Cynthia thought she was just a "miscellaneous item" that Lorenz picked up from the street when he went out one day.
It was Lorenz who accepted her first and said, "Family members don't need to be useful." He picked up this piece of rags from the mud and stuffed it under the gear-filled eaves of the Eliuse family.
But Cynthia is always worried.
It wasn't until he returned from patrolling the northern border that the Duke, who was as cold and hard as an iron tower, smashed a pocket watch in front of her with a "dong" sound.
It was his only trophy and his only scar.
There was no greeting, only Lorenz stroking her hair and saying, "That's the rebirth after the disaster."
Cynthia lowered her head. The pocket watch in her palm was cold, but it was frighteningly hot next to her chest.
It turns out that it was her brother who first gave her a place to stay, and her father gave her the confidence not to run away in this family.
