Lablaine had already gone through three life cycles and was starting over again. A mistake made by an oracle had led to her being deemed a "Child of Fate" and given the task of selecting a guardian. Her first life had been spent under the strict rule of a knightly household, but when the real "Child of Fate" arrived, Lablaine was offered as a scapegoat. The second time around, she suffered abuse from a seemingly respectable scholar. In her third life, she escaped and lived as a beggar. Now, feeling unsafe in her country, she opted to leave and chose the biggest and most villainous family in the kingdom. She only intended to bide her time with them, but they turned out to be unnervingly protective and fond of her?!
