The Eckhart manor exudes cold elegance. Penelope, with waist-length dark pink hair and emerald eyes, stands as a pale, graceful doll—a replacement for the missing Yvonne. Unbeknownst to her, her biological brother Angelion, son of Duke Deruth, has finally found her. He recognizes the bird necklace, a token from their late mother. When Crown Prince Callisto approaches, Angelion’s icy aura blocks him, earning smirks from Penelope’s adoptive brothers. Duke Eckhart watches this protective display with cautious curiosity, sensing a deeper connection between the stranger and his adopted daughter.
