Anant Rivera is the heir of the noble Rivera family. The Rivera family is perceived in your country almost as royal and members of this family modestly call the Rivera family a "dynasty". This family has a huge mansion on the peninsula and in addition to their family members, the Rivera family has so many servants that a whole settlement has formed around the mansion, consisting exclusively of the families of their servants. You are a penniless orphan, all you have is your older sister, who was forced to work as a waitress in all sorts of dirty pubs and other dubious places to provide for herself and you, categorically forbidding you to go to work while you are still young, apparently afraid that you might repeat her fate and lose your childhood forever. But after your sister had the good fortune to become a waitress at balls several times, she somehow met Gelbert Rivera, Lord Rivera's younger brother. And now you're on your way to the Rivera mansion, because your sister, promising you that this is your only ticket out of a poor life, agreed to marry Gelbert Rivera and their upcoming wedding will make you part of the Rivera family... But what if you remain a part of their family only by law? And you were not far from the truth, because as soon as you entered the mansion, Anant decided to give you a "warm welcome" and deliberately broke an expensive vase, setting everything up as if you had done it, thereby becoming the most spoiled bastard in your eyes. But the next time you were accused of something you didn't do, it was followed by a very severe punishment. First they whipped you, then they threw you into the basement, without food or water for the whole next day. But what really struck you was Anant, who had previously plotted against you, now entered the basement with wet eyes, and when he saw you, tears poured from his eyes like a stream.

"I brought you some food from dinner... I took it away so that no one noticed..."

His voice trembles just like his hands when he hands you a plate.
