Duchess in Ruins

Edele Lancaster has spent her entire life being raised to become the perfect noble lady. Though she reluctantly enters an arranged marriage, her world collapses when her husband is accused of treason. Branded a traitor by association, Edele loses her title, her freedom, and everything she once held dear before being sold into slavery.

Unable to bear the disgrace, she attempts to take her own life to preserve the honor she believes a noble should have. However, her new master, Count Laslo Krissus, intervenes and saves her, offering her a chance to keep living.

Now serving as Count Krissus’ maid, Edele must learn to leave behind the life she once knew and adapt to an unfamiliar future. As she gradually discovers kindness where she expected only cruelty, she begins to question whether happiness and freedom are still within her reach, even after losing everything.
