First Love
For me, Lord Diaz was the person I admired the most, as well as my first love.
During my student days, I was all alone.
My parents had no interest in me.
They thought they were showing affection, but I had no place at home or outside.
So, to attract my parents' attention, I played the role of a villain.
But no one understood my feelings.
The only one who kindly spoke to me was Lord Dias.
Although we met at the church, we didn't reveal our identities at that time.
But Lord Diaz didn't care about social status.
At that time, he endured harassment from foolish nobles who mocked him for being stupid and relying only on his family background.
No matter what anyone said, my affection for him was unwavering.
However, as someone of Royal blood, a Duke's daughter, and Lord Diaz, being the third son of a Baron, our status was vastly different.
So, I gave up on this love.
I closed my heart.
But a few years later, I heard that Lord Diaz, despite being a live-in son-in-law in the Ranford family, endured a difficult situation.
I heard he worked hard to rebuild the declining Viscount household without even appearing in social circles.
Nevertheless, every time I heard Dania speak ill of Lord Diaz while living a luxurious life, I remembered how painful it was for me.
That woman knows nothing.
But things are different now.
"I have admired you for a long time, Lord Diaz.”
"Lady Oriana..."
"It is wrong of me to say such things now, however..."
I'm no longer a child.
I didn’t intend to drag my first love with me.
But Lord Diaz has once again captured my heart.
"Is it impossible for me not to have feelings for you, who saved my daughter-in-law's life and protected my position."
"Everything I have done was with a motive."
"Even so, if you had not acted, none of this would exist now."
His Majesty, as the King, and most of the nobles who move our country, are concerned with Lord Diaz.
"I cannot bear to see you still suffering because of that woman."
"Lady Oriana, please calm down."
The only one who can disturb my heart to this extent is Lord Diaz.
I didn't intend to aspire to be his wife.
It was enough to be by his side as a friend.
But I am still a greedy and selfish woman.
I can't bear the thought of him being taken away by another woman.
"Please tell me what you think of me!"
Even if our relationship falls apart, I don't mind.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime love.
