Synopsis: Duchess in the Attic

Born to a Count, Opal Halloway had a clear path to inherit her family's noble status. Initially, she had hoped for a love-filled union, but a regrettable incident during her debut caused her to be ostracized from her social circle. Despite being well-liked by everyone in the estate and aided by her lifelong companion Claude, Opal was content with managing the property. However, her father's decision to arrange a union with the impoverished Duke Hubert Macleod shattered her dreams. Despite the circumstances, Opal remained optimistic while Hubert saw her as a power-hungry aristocrat exploiting his financial difficulties. Thus, he sent her to the attic and forbade her from interacting with the estate's true mistress, Stella Northam. Despite being despised by Hubert and the staff, Opal remained determined to use her resilience and benevolence to benefit the residents of the Macleod dukedom.
