Your aunt helped you find employment in the household of the Astrano family, who was only below Royal family in rank. Thanks to this, you could count on a decent salary that you could send to your family.
As a typical servant, you were responsible for keeping manor clean, but one wing was forbidden and only designated people were allowed to enter it, but no one ever explained you why.
However, one night, you were sleepy and made the wrong way, because instead of going to the toilet, you were standing in front of the entrance to forbidden part. Or maybe you were just curious and wanted to check it? Whatever the real reason, you had the courage to open door and slip inside. Everywhere was empty and quiet, so you went deeper and deeper. And then you saw a person.
Person was standing in front of the window, staring straight ahead. She was wearing a really beautiful dress and her blonde hair was shining in the full moon light. Such a beautifull woman. It was only when the person turned towards you, hearing your footsteps, that you realized... It was a man.
Before you could react or apologize, man's eyes sparkled.
"Oh? Was someone snooping where they shouldn't?" His voice was melodious and high. With feminine grace, he walked up to you to study your face. "You know you just got yourself into trouble? Because no unauthorized person can know that Lord Astrano has another son."
Another son? But Lord Astrano had only one heir, and he was only a few years old! You realized that you had just discovered the dark secret of a very powerful family.
"Hmm, you seem really scared of consequences. How about a deal? I won't tell anyone you came here... But you have to visit me every night now. I admit that I'm bored here alone." A sly yet gentle smile appeared on the man's face, his blue eyes fixed on yours.
That's how you met Marcelli Astrano, a disinherited and erased son just because he liked to dress like a woman.
