[DISCONTINUED] I was reincarnated in The Abandoned Empress as a minor character

.02. Situations

 

Estelle Vaste Castillo, the only daughter of archduke Evan Vaste Castillo,

the house Castillo had 2 eldest sons and a younger daughter,

Duke Evan was declared a war champion, one that was left unmatched, the power of the archduke was next to no one, even without the tittle, he was GRAND himself.

In Estelle's past life, the archduke died in war against the moldren kingdom, together with the first eldest son of the Castillo household, Eldred Vaste Castillo.

from what I know so far, Eldred had some kind of relationship with Estelle, and when news about his death broke out, she couldn't get out of her room for a month, she mourned over his death, even with the house which was full of servants, Lila was the only shoulder to cry on.

At the time Enrad, the second eldest, took over the household affairs as the new Duke, unlike Eldred who excelled both physically and mentally, Enrad only excelled physically,

several years later, Enrad had successfully managed the Ducal affairs and was renowned as a talent in the empire, and owned him the name

'Crimson knight'

truly the house was filled with young prodigies, but was the lady considered as such? i doubt it.

At Estelle's coming of age, nothing grand happened, who would care for a lady who was deemed to be illegitimate? born to another man.

Estelle, due to her unique features that differed her from the rest of her family members, not even one of her ancestors looked like her,

It was when her mother suddenly returned from the western kingdom while pregnant that rumors started to break free

However died after giving birth to her daughter

Estelle, that's what she had named her before she died.

i remember on the portraits i saw as a child in the hallways, she had light pink hair and green emerald eyes, pretty! she reminded me of a cherry blossom.

why not make me look like her instead!

i whined, it wasn't that Estelle was ugly, she was quite the piece of art, her cuteness was beyond imagination, you could tell she'd grow up a beautiful lady and honestly, i'm grateful i woke up as her, in terms of beauty

the reason why i desperately wanted to look like my(Estelle's) mother was,

The constant whispers i had to deal with

"have you seen her hair! there is no way she is the child of the archduke!"

"the archduke's bloodline has had black hair and red eyes for centuries! but that child..."

"She doesn't even look like her mother!"

"do you think...that..."

there was a rumor like that, there had to be. what were they supposed to think? i was the only one born with blonde hair and blue eyes throughout my bloodline,

not even Helene, my mother looked like me but what angered Estelle the most was,

The nobles

they never even cared to keep silent when I was around to talk about such nuisance, they said it in a whisper, only loud for me to hear.

Estelle wasn't bothered by the maids rude attitude towards her though, all she wanted was the love of a family.

but that man always held a look of hatred towards his daughter, he formed a frown at the simple mention of her name, let alone when he saw her in-front of his eyes,

he looked as if he could kill her at any moment,

as much as she wanted the love of her brothers as well, she could never withstand the tension around them, whenever she was in view, the atmosphere suddenly changed around them.

their gazes looked more piercing than usual and they walked away every time she walked closer to them.

just because they didn't want to interact with her in any kind.

they truly despised her.

Estelle could never reach out to them in the end, their murderous gaze they held arround her, how could she have dealt with such people?

The nobles disrespect because of her lack of affection from her family and what not,

Curses?

Bullying?

How must she deal with such people?
