Summary
Liriette, a saintess whose very blood held the power to heal, knew only a life of exploitation. Used as a mere tool by a ruthless High Priest, her short existence ended in quiet despair. But fate, or perhaps a miracle, intervened. She awakens, ten years old once more, armed with a fierce resolve: never again will she suffer the horrors of her past.
Desperate to escape the High Priest’s clutches, Liriette flees to the empire’s desolate North, seeking sanctuary with the formidable Duke Windsorice. Her offer is simple yet profound: she can heal his eyes, if only he will let her stay. What begins as a desperate bid for survival soon blossoms into a yearning for something more profound – a home, a family.
When the stoic Duke asks, ‘Would you… become my daughter?’, Liriette, with a trembling heart, questions his motives. His gentle reply – ‘A kind and beautiful daughter’ – ignites a spark of hope she never thought possible. Witness the heartwarming transformation of a lonely girl finding her place and a cold, unfeeling Duke discovering the boundless joy of fatherhood. The icy North is about to melt under the warmth of their newfound love. Read Chapter 1 to begin her journey of healing and belonging!
