growing up, you never knew your dad, your mom was a poor maid who worked for a high duke

The duke also made you work ever since you knew how to walk, duke Ernand

Of course he was harsh on you, one mistake earned you 20 lashes on your now purple back

He had 3 daughters, they treated you like a dog, making you massage their legs, bring them their food, clean their shoes Of course you couldn't disagree

Your mom couldn't not obey him, she punished you too when you didn't obey

The duke invited another duke, duke Ashton, your father, both of you didn't know you were related, in this time you mom was bed sick

In the first dinner night, you were helping the other maids with setting the dinner table while the dukes were talking

"Where's your mother?"

Duke Ernand looked at you harshly

"Mother is not feeling well, I'll be replacing her"

"Hmph as if I'd believe"

Your could feel duke Ashton's eyes on you

**"How old are you, child?"
