## Background (Contains Spoilers)

"... She is a very famous person in Vein city and has a lot of followers on social media.”

“Well, she is both a very powerful and very benevolent woman, although she tends to act a bit arrogantly most of the time. She occasionally appears on television, like when she donated millions to an orphanage last month. She is very rich and she started a successful cosmetics company when she was still in middle school.” Mina answered with a worshiping look in her eyes, Linda was one of her idols.

“She has many dedicated fan clubs on the Internet and in real life, She is our age, can you believe that! and I heard she would be attending the same high school we are going to attend.” She added with a smiling face, then looked at Victor “But young master, I know what you are thinking, although she is very beautiful, she already has a fiancé, and the rumors are that he is from a family that is even more rich and influential then hers,” she said as if she understood her young master’s intentions.

### True Identity

She is not the real Linda, but rather her maid who stole her identity, apparently with Amelia's acquiescence, her real name is Pussy.

P\*\*\*y was the maid given to her by her mother. She never treated her as a maid but as a friend. They grew up together after all. And they should have trusted each other….. She even gave her the name P\*\*\*y, as she reminded her of a cat… She didn’t know what it meant when she was young…. Was this the reason she betrayed her?

She gave P\*\*\*y everything, she even begged her mother to let her attend the ceremony with the family heirs so that they could always stay together.

Not even in her worst nightmares, she could have thought that her best friend would betray her like this.

## History

In his previous life, he only met her at the academy a few weeks later. She acted like a cold princess. Not even allowing him to hold his hand, she told him that she would only marry a man who is strong and successful. She would only let him touch her on the wedding night.

Linda, who acted as a virtuous girl back then, talked her way to delay the wedding for two years and succeeded after he went with her to beg the Patriarch to delay the marriage.

He was young and foolish. He held some feelings for Linda and believed that he could prove himself and make her love him.

He couldn’t have been more wrong. This B\*tch was spoiled and rotten to the bone. When the wedding time arrived, Linda, who didn’t want to marry him, helped his enemies lead him into the trap which caused him to be kicked out of the family and rendered the marriage contract void.

The engagement was broken and a new groom had to be chosen, and who would be better than Victor’s cousin Bill, who was one year older and was also studying at the academy. And the prime candidate to be the future patriarch.

Bill met Linda at the academy, he courted her in secret first, as he wanted this engagement for himself, he feared that if Victor got a connection to the Von Rosen, his position as the next patriarch would be given to his opponent, Victor’s Big brother, Mike.

After they got rid of Victor, they announced to the world that they love each other. This was at least what was in the aftermath report Victor read.

The truth is that the Von Rosen’s were never a free family, they were just a subordinate family to the Von Zwei family. His family’s nemesis. And their interest in a relationship with the Von Weise family was just a trap to make one of their members infiltrate the family to reach a high position or create internal discord at the very least.

They started working on this plan the moment they became council members with the help of their masters. They hid their traces so well that even his shrewd grandmother would defend them if anyone defamed them.

The incident about Linda’s mother, Amelia, asking for help was just a pretense for her to get close and offer the engagement, which was just a method to deliver their agent.

Their plan almost failed when Victor turned out to be useless, so they quickly decided to change to another valuable heir. But to their dismay, his grandmother quickly refused the change. She would not risk upsetting the delicate family balance. Or maybe she just wanted to save face.

What happened next, in his previous life, On Bill and Linda’s wedding night was beyond everyone’s expectations. Victor was not invited, but Aria who was invited told him what happened.

According to her, the screen that was supposed to be used to deliver congratulations from all over the world suddenly turned on and played many scenes of Linda with another man. A different scene on every screen. The man’s face was censored, so Aria didn’t recognize him.

Bill, who acted as an educated gentleman usually, was so mad he lost all reason and broke all the rules. He summoned his thin sword, cutting through the astonished Linda in one move then getting killed by her mother’s attack. Breaking all the ties between the two families and starting an enmity that only ended when the Von Rosen’s disappeared one night, when their entire mansion was replaced with an SSS ranked dungeon.

Back then, no one knew who put those videos and who was that man. The family predicted that it must be the Von Zwei, their enemies as Bill’s drinks were found later to have been spiked. They might have seduced Linda to sleep with someone. Unfortunately, she was dead, and the truth disappeared forever with her.

Today’s events made Victor have a clear idea of what happened. Linda was just a spoiled pawn. And that man in the footage was Titus. And The true culprit was the one behind him, the third powerful family in the council, The Von Geldstadt Family.

They must have made Titus approach Linda and charm her. He wouldn’t be able to use the memory fabrication skill on her, as such skill only has momentary effects on Players, and only works on mortals. Victor thinks that Titus might have presented Linda with some kind of artifact that was prepared by his masters. Then promised her some more things every time they met. It would make a little slut like her after some time.

They must have wanted to use her to destabilize the Von Weise family. But Titus’s arrest was not something they expected. So they resorted to breaking the two families' ties in one move.

This was all a dance between the two other families. The Von Weise family was just the prey that they were eyeing. Fortunately, they didn’t know about each other’s schemes, or things would have been very dangerous.

## Plot

### Rumors

“According to rumors, he is a perverted and depraved young man. It is said, he sleeps with two maids every night and spends his days in brothels, In addition, he tried to rape his new maid, and because she refused him, he almost killed her. And I heard he once tried to force Linda to do it with him and 3 other men at the same time but was saved by a friend at the last moment. Poor miss Linda has to marry such a shameful man because his family can make hers go bankrupt and her father would be demoted in seconds. She has no choice. I hope that evil fiancé dies in the arms of some prostitute so that miss Linda would be free.”

Mina said with hatred spilling from hers and Mana’s eyes. as if they were wishing they can strangle such a beast fiancé and save the noble miss Linda.

### Truth of Rumors

“Well it is not really a secret, but you must know that my family forbids sexual relationships before becoming an adult. And my adulthood ceremony was the day before yesterday. So how can attempt to rape Linda, let alone spend time in a brothel ?” he said to the skepticizing girls.

“As for the ‘raping a maid’ rumor, that one has some truth to it. But she was the one who wanted to seduce me, and I was young back then. Luckily, my father caught us in time, or else I would have been kicked out of the family. As a punishment, he sent me to an all-boys boarding school. I could only sleep with three other stinky guys in a dormitory most of the year.” He continued with an aggrieved voice while remembering his roommates.

“I only met Linda three times anyway. And that was with our parents. As for the engagement, it was her mother, Amelia Cross, who begged my grandmother for help before, as she needed help due to some internal turmoil in her family, and she promised to be my family’s ally in return. My grandmother asked her for a guarantee so that she would not burn the bridge after crossing, so that woman packaged her daughter and offered her to be a wife to any heir in my family, and my grandmother chose me as I was only older than Linda by a few months and we were suitable for each other. You have to understand something. The one who truly holds the power in her family is her mother. She belongs to a branch of a family as strong as mine. as for her father Otto Cross, he is just a facade.”

“It was all good until I was about ten years old. Due to me being sickly, I didn’t have a good standing in the family and soon fell out a favor. It was expected that I will not inherit anything, and be kicked out of the family sooner or later. Seemingly, Linda and her mother heard about that and began to have second thoughts about this engagement. After the incident with the maid, she took the opportunity and came to see my grandmother. Using the incident as the reason, she requested the change of the engagement target to another heir, but my grandmother firmly refused, changing the engagement is not good for the family’s image and would cause some internal conflicts as Amelia now holds an important position in her family. After that, the rumors defaming me began to circulate. So who do you think is spreading those rumors?”
