The other Lapileon

Maeve Lapileon never died.

When Saoirse's husband and son were killed Maeve was still only a toddler inside the estate. She was too young to fully understand the grief consuming her mother. But because of her age and fragile health she was kept hidden from most of the world. Which is why few people in the empire remember Saoirse had another child at all.

Now the same age as Celphius Lapileon, Maeve grows up alongside the original story events exactly as they happen in the webtoon. Except this time she is there in the middle of the Lapileon household. She becomes especially attached to Pereshati Jahardt Lapileon. Slowly viewing her as the warm maternal figure she never truly had after Saoirse became emotionally distant from grief.

Maeve doesn't replace the original plot she quietly changes the emotional weight of it.
