Jennette Margarita/Relationships

## Relationships

### Claude de Alger Obelia

Jennette views Claude as her father. In the novel, Claude only learned of Jennette's existence when she turned 14. After realizing her existence, Claude was cold towards Jennette at first. However, Princess Jennette, being an unbelievably lovable person due to being the protagonist, eventually melted the cold icy fort that was Claude. It is later revealed that Jennette is not a biological daughter of Claude, unknown to him.

In the transmigrated version of Athanasia de Alger Obelia, Duke Ijekiel Alpheus had to go a different route than the one in the novel. Since Claude had shown to be very attached to Athanasia, he knew it was dangerous to show up to the whole society and "reveal" that Jennette was Claude's daughter, like in the novel.

In the first season, during the girls' debutante, Roger Alpheus still tried to test the waters, commenting how Athanasia was a fortunate girl to have Claude as a father, and that maybe if Claude had had more children, he would be able to spread that fatherly love to all his offsprings. However, Claude mocks him about the absurdity behind Roger's words saying that if one thing he was sure about was that Athanasia was his one and only child. Roger still trying to carry his plan, tried to have a private meeting with him, but Claude coldly refuses saying that he wanted to enjoy his time with his only daughter.

Desperate to meet and have some sort of contact with her family, Jennette follows Athanasia and just when Claude and the princess were leaving the party, Jennette brings Athanasia the ribbon she had accidentally dropped at the party. Jennette bows to Claude and introduces herself. Claude recognizes her as Duke Alpheus' ward, but he says no more beyond that, especially since Jennette had a spell on her eyes which prevented other people to know he had the same eyes the Royal Family had.

The next time, Jennette and Claude meet was when she roamed the palace while Athanasia had guests for her tea party. Claude finds Jennette and reprehends her for walking around freely in the palace grounds. Jennette is shocked and excited to see Claude again. She even asks him if he remembers her, to which Claude replies if there was a reason why he'd remember her. Claude comments that only for this time, he'd pretend that he hadn't seen her since he realizes that Jennette was one of his daughter's guests. Jennette was about to remove the spell from her eyes, but she changes her mind when Claude threatens her and tells her to never show her face in front of him again.

In the second season, he tolerates her more and even asks for her presence. Jennette finds Claude unconscious in the rose garden. When he wakes up, he discovers that Jennette is able to relieve his headache, and to make him sleep peacefully. From that day on, he constantly calls Jennette to have tea with him, which makes Jennette happy to spend time with her father. However, every time Claude falls asleep during their meetings and they never have a proper conversation.

### Penelope Judith

Penelope is Jennette's mother whom she never knew as Penelope died during childbirth and she was once Claude de Alger Obelia's fiancee in the past, but she preferred Anastacius de Alger Obelia (Claude's older brother) heir to the throne where Jennette was conceived between Penelope and Anastacius using black magics in hopes of creating a being that could surpass Claude's power. After Claude's bloody ascension, Penelope fled and gave birth to Jennette, dying in the process.

Jennette looks almost exactly like Penelope as they both have the same brown hair that is curly at the end and the same square bangs except for the jeweled eyes of the imperial family. However, in Episode 113, her eyes became a peridot green color that resembles Penelope's eyes after Lucas removes the mana from her, to which Athanasia de Alger Obelia comments on how "your eye color is very pretty."

### Athanasia de Alger Obelia

Athanasia is believed to be Jennette's younger sister. Even though Jennette's older than Athanasia, the latter is considered as the first princess since her existence was known first by the emperor. In the novel, Athanasia was too kind to the point where she became a poor and foolish princess. Even though Jennette was her competition for the throne and their father's love, she taught her the ways of the palace instead of looking out for herself. What's worse is since she is the first princess, she was accused of poisoning Jennette's glass leading to her death by the hands of her own father and Jennette greatly admires Athanasia.

In the manwha timeline, Athanasia had a glimpse of young Jennette during her visits to the Alpheus' residence.

They meet formerly in the debutante. However, unlike the novel, Jennette had a spell on her eyes, so people wouldn't know she's from royal blood. However, Athanasia recognizes her and tries to run from her. She's invited to Athanasia's tea parties, where Jennette tries to befriend her and getting closer to her to the Princess, much more than the other girls.

It's clear Jennette views Athanasia as her sister. When she was out shopping with Ijekiel Alpheus, she goes to a store. There, she meets Anastacius de Alger Obelia, and when he asked her what she was looking for, she replies she was looking for a present to give her sister. This becomes troublesome later on, because when Jennette, Athanasia and Anastacius meet, he asks Jennette if Athanasia was the sister he talked about the other day, which puts Jennette in an awkward position.

When Athanasia goes missing, Jennette is worried for her. Athanasia decides to visit Jennette to lift her spirits since Jennette was going through some rough times as well. When they meet, Jennette is so relieved to see Athanasia that she hugs her, to Athanasia's surprise. They try to keep their meetings a secret and they become a little closer.

### Anastacius de Alger Obelia

Anastacius is the former heir to the Obelian Empire and Jennette's biological father who was thought to be deceased at first. When he gives Jennette a snow globe that was enchanted with a curse, he then quickly takes it back when he sees her smile before he ends up giving her the snow globe after removing the curse from it.

In Episode 90, Jennette is shocked when she learns that she is actually Anastacius' daughter who has stayed by her side and treated her kindly. It was then revealed that Jennette is not Claude's daughter conceived through his fiancee, her mother as she was actually conceived by Claude de Alger Obelia's older brother, Anastacius. Jennette doesn't take the news well since she pins so much of her happiness on being Claude's daughter. In the novel, she learns this near the finale, where in the webtoon, she learns of this after Anastacius reveals himself to Athanasia de Alger Obelia during the first meeting she attended in her father's place.

### Roger Alpheus

Roger is a duke of the Obelian Empire who raised Jennette in order to use her for his ambitions and cares for her well-being.

### Ijekiel Alpheus

Ijekiel is Jennette's second cousin and Duke Roger Alpheus's son who makes him the heir of the Alpheus Family. In the novel, he became Jennette's fiancee, but he is seen only as an older brother by Jennette in the current storyline.

In the current storyline, the two show no romantic interest in each other, but they share a very close bond as seen when he comforts her when she cries and goes looking for him when he gets lost.
