Chapter 295: Carol’s Story"The devils’ involvement, huh? Alright, you’ve piqued my interest. So, what is it about? I want to hear it first," Aldrian said.
Carol sighed in relief. She remained silent for a moment, seemingly trying to compose herself before telling her story.
"If you know my name, then you must know where I’m from, bu—"
"No, I only know your name. I don’t know your origin or anything about you. Just your name."
Carol was speechless. What kind of logic was that? They had never met before, yet he already knew her name. Wasn’t he supposed to know her origin as well? If he didn’t know her family or anything about her, then how did he know her name? Was this man playing a prank on her or something?
Carol felt genuinely exasperated but decided to keep it to herself.
"Alright, I apologize. I’m actually a young miss from one of the duke households in the Vindas Empire—the Duclan family. Or at least, I used to be," Carol said.
Aldrian raised his eyebrows. A young miss of a duke household? That’s quite a high status, but she ended up here? And what did she mean by used to?

Carol nodded in understanding. It seemed Aldrian was from outside the Vindas Empire.
"Alright, then let me start with the basics of the story. The Larson family is one of the grand duchy families in the northwest of the empire. My family, the Duclan family, is located near the border between the Flamecrest Grand Duchy and the Larson Grand Duchy.
Our family and the Larson family had a good relationship. In fact, we maintained close ties with the neighboring noble territories due to our geographical proximity."
"One day, they suddenly came to our family—or more specifically, their young master paid us a visit. It was an unexpected visit, and unlike their usual interactions with us. During this visit, they actually proposed a marriage alliance with our family.
Of course, the marriage proposal was for me. But it wasn’t just about marriage—they also tried to offer us treasures. We were confused by their sudden generosity and the abrupt move to propose a marriage alliance."
"We knew there had to be a reason for the Larson family’s sudden move. We didn’t want to recklessly fall into their game, so we tried to postpone the proposal for as long as possible while
Although it could be dangerous for her, as long as it led to her revenge, she didn’t care. She could watch as the Larson family was played to the very end!
