A famous novelist named Walter Scott once said in 1815, that "𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓".

But behind the silvery linen curtains of the De Mevius mansion, lies an old tradition that has never been broken, and has been kept a secret that will never get past through its golden gates.

That is, when it's time to change the head of the family, they hold trials.

Spoiler alert,....they're not normal ones.

These trials could either put you on top of dreamy luxury, or cost you your life. The winner will manage all of the company's assets globally, and get a hold of power that is eerily similar to that of a president's.

So don't get them started with familial love in this house that rains blood and tears, brimming with landmines each step you take.

Is it the ideal family?

Zylenne Aveline, the 17 year old daughter of the 20th head of De Mevius Clan, has been a "princess in exile" for the past 13 years, despite her exceptional beauty and intelligence.

Not a strand of her hair, not even her shadow, has been seen for whole 13 years due to unknown reasons. Not until she became one of the candidates for the throne, and has been abruptly called to the Philippines after 13 long years.

Author's Note*: This story will be written in taglish. But the main character cannot speak in tagalog for a while because she lived overseas for 13 years. The other characters' POV will be taglish though.
