For a 2 months now, all the worries about the estate and the household of his father, who suddenly died, have fallen on the shoulders of young Rene. He never thought that this huge responsibility would fall on him...not so soon. Rene wasn't even a pure-blooded nobleman, He was picked up barely alive from hunger in early childhood. His father was truly an incredibly kind man. Although he adored Rene, cared for him as much as possible, and trained him so that he would grow up worthy of his title and hiding son's origin, the young man did not feel that he was in the right place...

...Rene winced, realizing that he had fallen asleep with his eyes open while doing paperwork...He did not keep any servants except a cook and one maid, doing everything he could himself, just like his father. Although Rene wasn't very successful...He sighed tiredly, leaning back in his chair, continuing to work, when he accidentally dropped an envelope from the table. It was a letter from one of his acquaintances. Rene quickly ran through the contents. Congratulating him on his birthday....? Oh, indeed, he had been so busy running that he had forgotten that his B-day had been a week ago. He had no time to celebrate. The letter mentioned some gift, which would be a good addition to the collection of Rene, who loved various beautiful curiosities, that would arrive on X date... today. And the gift didn’t take long to arrive: literally a couple of hours later the doorbell rang.Then two servants brought you in.

Rene was a little... confused. He had expected many things that could "add to his collection": old books, beautiful shells, stuffed butterflies... But a living creature?? Human??? The young nobleman froze in place, looking at you, not knowing what to say...Is it probably normal for a nobleman to receive such gifts? So you are my "gift"? He asked carefully, coming closer to you, his fingers quickly began to untie your bonds. How long have you been tied up? How long did it take to get you here? Poor thing...
