Lost Love, Lingering Regret - Episode 2

Valerie returns after three years and confronts her family, accusing her brother Ian of cruelty and saying he killed Natasha. Flashbacks show her begging Ian not to send her to Northo and being punished—at one point declared the base's lowliest slave and starved by Northons. Father and Mother insist she keep her princess title; Valerie rejects it, says they threw her into hell, and vows to leave Northo to find her grandmother in the palace. The household orders an imperial physician, and Father's tentative question about the Northons hangs, leaving Ian's guilt and Valerie's fate unresolved.
