[Volume 3, Released 10/11 from DRE Novels] Chloe, the daughter of a border baron, has been persecuted as a 'cursed child' due to a birthmark on her back and the successive misfortunes that befell her family and relatives since her birth. She endured daily violence from her mother and the malicious acts of her sister, believing it was her fault for being a cursed child. One day, she reaches her breaking point and decides to run away. After crossing fields and mountains, she finally reaches the capital, but her strength gives out, and she is attacked by a group of men. Just as she prepares to meet her fate, a young man passing by saves her. 'If you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to my house? I'm looking for a housekeeper.' The young man, Lloyd, is a young elite knight of the First Knight Regiment, which protects the capital. Chloe, wanting to repay her savior, starts living in Lloyd's house as a housekeeper. Her skills, honed from years of being overworked at her own home, quickly shine through. 'The room is so clean... I've never eaten anything this delicious... You're really amazing.' 'I've never been praised like this...' Despite being known as a cold and ruthless swordsman called the 'Black Death' within the knight regiment, Lloyd shows a different side to Chloe, eventually doting on her. Meanwhile, Chloe's absence begins to reveal the extent of her family's dependence on her, leading to the gradual collapse of her former home. This is a story of a noble lady, once persecuted as a cursed child, finding a small happiness with a serious and kind knight who lives by the sword. *This story is heartwarming and sweet, but also has elements of comeuppance. *The novel is currently being adapted into a manga!
