A few days after Melissa, the Duke's daughter, turned 10, her cousin Amelia, who lost her parents at the same age, was taken in by the Duke's family. From that day on, Melissa was overlooked by her father, brother, and grandmother, who doted on Amelia. Amelia and Melissa's magical compatibility was poor, leading to both of them getting injured. They were advised to live apart until they could control their magic. Melissa's father asked her to go to the territory to give Amelia, who was grieving the loss of her parents, some space. Despite her efforts to master perfect magic control, Melissa was not called back to the capital until she turned 16, when it became mandatory for those with magic to attend the magic academy. Melissa realized that instead of trying to make people who ignored her notice her, she should value those who cared for her and live her life on her own terms. This is her story of self-discovery and growth. * This is a revised version of a work previously published on AlphaPolis. * It won the Novel Award in the 11th Net Novel Grand Prix. * It has been decided to be published as a book (released on June 8, 2024).
