They shot their deadly glare at each other, not even wanting to avert their gazes away. The three sisters from another mother really don't get along well, that's what people can say.

They're like cats and dogs, neverending bickerings and fights. The grudges that they hold on each other were bigger than on their father the Duke.

Scarlet Fae Sienna de'Lacruz, the eldest daughter of the Duchess Seraphina Penelope. She was the Duke's first wife, whom he favors dearly, and so, Scarlet was their first-born daughter.

Due to the inability of the Duchess to bear another child, the Duke decided to take another woman as his mistress. Although the Duchess was not happy to hear it, she let him in despite knowing that her husband will no longer favor her.

And so, Alice Isabella de'Lacruz was born, the second daughter of Mistress Beatrice Lucius. There are rumours regarding the mistress being vicious and cruel to the Duchess, but that all are just lies. She's the sweetest woman, and that's why the Duke loves her.

But all the Duke wanted was to have a boy to be his successor, yet he got two daughters. But he didn't give up, instead he brought another woman to the house.

Upon hearing that, the mistress fumed in anger and that was the first time people have seen her gone mad. Thus, the mistress despised the woman, who gave birth to another daughter.

Elissa Leonard de'Lacruz, the youngest daughter of Mistress Eleanor Rose. She was unexpectedly intelligent despite being a commoner.

One day, the Duke was assassinated.

I widened my eyes as soon as I read the last paragraph. Assassinated? How? I frowned at the statement but then heaved a sigh when I realized something that's more serious. My addiction to reading these kinds of stories.

To the point that I wished I was reincarnated as the characters. The story just now? Is the reason why I'm still alive, the plot overall is amazing, along with the characters. But sadly, these three ladies were just side characters so they didn't get more screen time.

I don't know what happened to them after the Duke was assassinated. Who's the head of de'Lacruz house? Was it Seraphina? Beatrice? Eleanor?

Or was it one of the sisters?

Just as I was in my detective mode, I heard a faint voice calling out to me. Or maybe I'm just imagining things? I furrowed my eyebrows, clicking my tongue and glanced at the laptop in front of me. That's where I panicked when I didn't pay attention in the teacher's class and she was calling my name.

“I know you're still here, Viana.” I widened my eyes and gulped. I clicked on the comment section immediately and typed down, ‘Sorry teacher, my line is not good.’

“Can't believe I read the manhwa while in class.” Yes, blame it all on manhwa for being so interesting. I broke down into cold sweat with shaky hands, pressing on the letters to search for the answers.

I don't trust you Mr. Google but I need you right now.

“Oh, your line is not good. Okay then.” I nodded and curved my lips downwards into a pout, as if the teacher could see me through the screen. “Then, Eisya. Please answer this.”

I stopped at my track and blinked my eyes rapidly, looking at the teacher in disbelief. Did my effort just got wasted? It's the third time already, come on! Have mercy.

“What the heck..” but I guess that's good, I don't know the answer anyways.

As time passed by, our classes changed too. Online classes aren't something that we like, it's harder to understand the subjects online.
