To My Dear Family: Be Happy With The Fake Lady

I was the real Lady of the Ducal family, but the villainess, whom I thought was my friend, secretly stole my memories and evidence, taking my place. When I was no longer useful, I still couldn’t forget the triumphant smile on her face when she kicked me out.

“… It’s for your own good. Since people in the Ducal Household knew your face, it would be troublesome when unnecessary rumors were to arise, right? As the Duke’s daughter, I won’t forget you and prepare something good for you.”

It was foolish of me to believe that my friend was truly doing it for me, but it turned out to be the day of my death. After learning the truth and returning to the past, I realized that my friend also retained memories of the past.

If that’s the case, the same thing would happen again. That cunning woman will once again capture my biological parents’ heart and take my place as the Duke’s daughter again. I hated them so much for keeping me close while remaining blind to the truth, never once giving me a piece of their hearts.

“I’m sick of it all.”

In this life, I’ll choose a different path and become a mage.

But why is it that… only after I’ve given up on everything, do my family keep trying to stay by my side?
