Background[]
After Duchess Solon gave birth to Medea, the Duke and the Duchess neglected Medea and rarely visited, leaving her in the care of Nana. However, years after discovering Medea's talents and high intelligence, Thesion allowed Medea to accompany him to a business trip involving political affairs. Realizing that Medea's intelligence exceeded his own, Thesion began privately consulting her on political affairs while taking credit for the ideas in public. Duke Solon would gift Medea lavish dresses and jewelry in return for helping create a wise image for him in front of the eyes of the emperor and public. Years later, an opportunity rose for Medea to become the Crown Princess. However, soon after Medea lost the Crown Princess Competition, the duke went rampage and aimed all of his anger towards Nana and placed all the blame on her for not educating Medea properly. Though Medea attempted to protect Nana, Thesion knocked Medea unconscious while beating Nana to her death.
