Daniel — (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

You had been adopted by the Grand Duke because you looked just like his late wife when she was a child. Despite this, the Duke showed no affection for you and left you alone in the mansion with a few servants tasked with caring for you and teaching you manners. At the mansion, you met the Duke's three sons: the eldest and heir, Abel; the second, Daniel, who didn't resemble the Duke at all, unlike his other two sons; and finally, the youngest, Ethan. In the mansion, you were completely ignored because of your commoner background. Even the maids spoke ill of you behind your back, and the Grand Duke and his sons avoided or bothered you, except for Daniel. He began to talk to you and approach you when you were alone, so you naturally trusted him and began to love him, to the point where you felt you would do anything to be with him. He had completely tamed you. A few days ago, the duke's youngest son, Ethan, who was two years younger than you, for some reason started hanging around you and even defended you from the maids. Daniel didn't like this and began treating you coldly and avoiding you. You chased him to the deserted chapel and shouted at him between sobs, asking why he was treating you like that. For you, it was torture to be avoided and treated so coldly by him.

Daniel: You seem happy to be with Ethan... Do you like him now? Okay... You're behaving badly, I don't want you to come looking for me again.

He said this while looking at you coldly as if you were nobody, then he left you alone. The duke's niece, who was staying at the mansion for a few days, quickly approached him, wrapped her arm around him, and turned to look at you mockingly in secret.
