【Volume 3 from DRE Novels to be released on November 10th!】

Chloe, the daughter of a margrave, was oppressed as "a cursed child who brings misfortune." This was because of a birthmark on her back and the successive tragedies that had befallen her family and relatives ever since she was born.

Her mother routinely inflicted violence upon her, and her cruel older sister would take out her frustrations on Chloe at every turn.

Chloe endured it all, thinking, "It's my fault... I'm a cursed child, so it can't be helped." But one day, she finally reached her breaking point.

"I don't want to be in this crazy house anymore...!!"

Chloe ran away.

She crossed fields and mountains, finally reaching the royal capital.

However, her strength gave out there, and while she was weak, she was attacked by a group of thuggish men.

Chloe braced herself for the worst, but she was saved by a young man who happened to pass by.

"If you have nowhere to go, would you like to come to my house for a while? I was just looking for a housekeeper."

The young man—Lloyd—was a young elite knight of the First Knights Order, tasked with protecting the peace of the royal capital.

Wanting "to be of help to her benefactor," Chloe began to live and work as a housekeeper at Lloyd's house.

Having previously been overworked and forced to handle all the chores at her family home, it didn't take long for Chloe to demonstrate her skills at Lloyd's house as well.

"The room is so clean...", "I've never eaten anything this delicious before," "You're truly amazing."

"I've never been praised like this... it's the first time..."

While Lloyd was known within the Knights Order as a cold and ruthless swordsman, even called "The Jet-Black Reaper," in front of Chloe, he showed a different side of himself, and before she knew it, she found herself deeply cherished.

Meanwhile, at Chloe's former family home, now that she was gone, signs of a gradual collapse were beginning to show because they had depended on Chloe in various ways until now...

This is the story of a young lady, who was oppressed as a cursed child, finding her own small happiness together with a serious and kind knight who has dedicated his life to the sword.
