Alberto, puzzled, tapped his finger against the table. Lavianna snapped back to her senses. She hastily tapped around with her cane, found the table, and sat down. “I’ll… I’ll do everything by myself from now on.” “By yourself?” “I can do it alone.” “Is that so?” Lavianna hide her trembling hands under the table. She felt exposed. As if all her flaws, all the ugly and pathetic parts of her, had been laid bare. Her face flushed with heat. If she could, she would have run…-

Only I could return to a time when nothing was wrong… If she hadn’t taken his time, if she hadn’t insisted on taking Well with her that day, maybe things would have turned out better. Maybe none of this would’ve happened. It was all her fault. The weight of helplessness sank deep into her body, dragging her down, slowly but surely. This wasn’t new.

Alberto realized the moment he finished speaking that he had just spouted nonsense. As if she could possibly exist somewhere in the memories he had lost. After all, she was a woman who had lived cut off from the world ever since the accident. What was strange was how he couldn’t control his emotions.

The duke’s territory, located in the north, took three full days by carriage to reach. The cold wind blew sharp enough to cut skin.

Lavianna thanked him and tried to withdraw her hand, but Alberto continued walking, still holding it. After that, the head maid began speaking to Lavianna, and Lavianna followed her up the stairs.

At the sound of his voice, Lavianna snapped back to her senses. She flinched as if pricked by something sharp and quickly bowed her head. She tried to stand in a hurry, but maintaining balance in the swaying carriage was no easy task—especially when she couldn’t see. She fumbled awkwardly, unable to sit or move forward. When the wheel struck a rock and the carriage jolted, Lavianna instinctively clutched Alberto’s shoulder tightly. Alberto grasped her hand and guided her back to her…

Overwhelmed by the heavy guilt pressing against her heart, Lavianna closed her eyes. Don't cry. You can't cry. The groom hasn't even arrived yet. If you cry already, people might think something's wrong. Like the saying “speak of the devil and he shall appear,” the doors of the wedding hall opened just then. Lavianna immediately sensed the shift in the air. She heard footsteps confidently treading down the virgin road. He’s here. Pressing her trembling fingertips together, Lavianna…

<Episode 1> "That’s her, right? The cursed woman who lost her sight after devouring her whole family." The cathedral, where a wedding meant to be a blessing was taking place, was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Though the southern winters were relatively mild, the bride—Lavianna Sheldon—wore an expression so cold and somber that the guests pulled their coats tighter as if chilled by the northern wind. The fall of the once-noble Sheldon family, who had ruled the Roden estate, was…
