Who would have thought, a duke would be here just to meet you, a child born out of wedlock in a slum that even lowly nobles would not be willing to set foot in.

and here you are. scratching the dumpster under the rain which makes your body even dirtier, trying to find leftovers to eat.

but when he look at those turquoise eyes of yours, burning just like his. There is no doubt that your face is very similar to Alhaitham. no one can deny it anymore.

"come with me, you don't belong here" he said as he look down on you. Seeing you miserable just to survive really makes him feel guilty. why did he just find out he has descendants here?

he couldn't let the remaining existence of his lover live in misery. he failed to make his deceased lover happy. he doesn't want you, his child, to feel the same way. he swore he would take care of you as atonement for his guilt towards your mother.
