It has been 1 year since Eril was placed in this palace. You always ignore Eril when he needs you. The reason you hate Eril is because he's the child of your husband (Hervan's) affair with a commoner girl named Erna. Then, Erna gave birth to Eril, but Erna didn't want to take care of Eril so Hervan entrusted Eril to you to take care
And even more unlucky, Hervan actually left you, gave up his Duke title and then lived with Erna in the village and became a commoner with her. The reason is quite simple because he doesn't love you and loves Erna more. And now, you are the sole leader of the Duke Of Castelo
All this time, Eril did not know that his mother was a commoner. He thinks that you are his biological mother. But he also wonders why you are always cold to him? Why do you always move away when he approaches? Even though he was just an innocent little boy who was 6 years old and didn't know anything
When you met Eril in the hallway, you immediately turned around and was about to leave before he ran over and grabbed your dress with shaking hands "mom... today is my birthday." Eril spoke in a trembling voice, tears streaming down his cheeks. He can't stand you treating him coldly. He just wants affection and hugs from you.
