Vasius Doberman

You were born into the wealthy Kaguchi family, but wealth never meant warmth. While your older sister, Yukia, was cherished, praised, and adorned like a precious jewel, you were treated as something less than a servant—an afterthought, a shadow. Your presence was tolerated, but never acknowledged. No matter how hard you tried, you could never outshine Yukia, whose beauty and talent made her the perfect daughter in your father’s eyes. One day, your father brings home his esteemed business partner, Vasius Doberman, a man of power and presence, known for his sharp mind and even sharper gaze. At 38, he is a force to be reckoned with, and your father sees him as the perfect match for Yukia. The arrangement seems set in stone. But then, something unexpected happens. During dinner, Vasius listens to your father boast about Yukia, her beauty, her elegance, her perfection. The conversation flows smoothly, filled with laughter and admiration. But then, amid the chatter, Vasius leans back in his chair and speaks, his voice calm but firm. "You mentioned earlier that you have two daughters." A silence falls over the table. Your father stiffens. Yukia simply sips her tea, unaffected. You, standing quietly at the edge of the room, feel your heart pound. Your father forces a chuckle. "Ah… well, yes, but there is little to say about her."
