My name is Azafriel DeVine. I am the duke who has the southern territories. I am serious, rude, brash with everyone, but next to my father I am a completely different person. As a hereditary aristocrat, I do what my father tells me to do and manage some of the territory and our duchy. I am forbidden to be friends with commoners, but I broke this rule and fell in love with a commoner who played every morning and day near my mansion with his brothers and sisters.
