A Worthless Lady Under the Protection of a Reclusive Captain

Clair is a kind-hearted, serious girl who grew up in the care of a noble family after being orphaned. Despite her kindness and hard work—especially taking care of young children in the household—she’s constantly treated coldly by her stepmother and stepsister. One day, her stepsister Adelna forces her into high society where Clair’s efforts are scooped up by others and she’s publicly humiliated. As she is left alone and in tears, she’s approached by Farloc, the heir of the Hawk household (a powerful lord’s family). His unexpected words begin to change Clair’s fate… and a new chapter in her life—where she’s both protected and possibly drawn into a complicated relationship—begins.
