Duchess in the Attic Manhua

As Opal delved deeper into the mysteries of the attic, she unearthed a hidden diary tucked away beneath a pile of forgotten letters. The pages were yellowed with age, the ink faded but still legible. With trembling fingers, she traced the elegant script detailing the innermost thoughts of Stella Northam. Each entry revealed a woman trapped in a gilded cage, yearning for freedom yet bound by duty and tradition. Opal felt a kinship with Stella, a shared longing for independence in a world that sought to confine them. As she read on, the pieces of the puzzle began to fit together. Stella's disappearance from society, the rumors whispered in hushed tones, all pointed to a tragic love affair that had torn her world asunder. Opal's heart ached for the pain that lingered in the shadows of the attic, for the love that had been lost to time. Driven by an insatiable hunger for the truth, Opal sought out the one person who held the key to Stella's story—the aging butler who had served the Macleod family for decades. With gentle persuasion and unwavering determination, she coaxed the secrets of the past from his reluctant lips. And as the final pieces fell into place, Opal's eyes were opened to a truth more profound than she could have ever imagined. The bond between Stella and Hubert Macleod ran deeper than blood, tangled in a web of deceit and sacrifice that spanned generations. Armed with this newfound knowledge, Opal stood at the threshold of a revelation that would shake the foundations of the Macleod estate. The Duchess in the Attic was no longer just a curious bystander to history—she was the keeper of a legacy that demanded to be heard.
