Rules of Happiness
Rubellite Vladimirovna Dmitrieva is the only daughter of the prestigious and feared Dmitriev family, their one and only princess.
At five years old, she was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace. From that moment on, her brothers never stopped searching. The loss hardened them into a more ruthless versions of themselves as years passed with no answers.
Nine years later, their search finally comes to an end.
Rubellite is exactly as they remembered her. She remains bright and cheerful, with that same easy smile. Yet something about it feels carefully built, almost... fake.
