The duke wasenraged, feelings like pain, agony and sadness crept through his heart. Due tothe loss of his love he did not even gave a glimpse at his children thinkingthat they were the cause, the cause of his nightmare. He did not gave them anounce of love but they were still treated carefully by the maids and servantsof the house. One night a maid stole one of the babies, yes, the baby was theheroine. The maid is probably working under someone who is an enemy to theduke. The duke heard the clamour and he quickly summoned up all the nights tosearch for his child, the duke was now awakened by his stupor and was anxiouslysearching for the child. After two days the maid was found near a dike with acut on the neck, they still continued to search for the baby but after a monthof searching they reluctantly ended the search. Unknown to the duke the childwas taken by an old man and brought the baby to an orphanage. The duke wasdrowning in guilt and misery, he was restless and unsettled every day. He was cold at the beginning but after timehis heart was devoid of emotion, the only child left was not forgotten but wasnot given any fatherly love. The boy, devonne was raised by his butler and nanny,from the young age of 7 he started studying, in his mind the thoughts that arerevolving inside were 'if I study hard and grow strong maybe father will noticeme, even if it's just a glance for me, it's okay' but no matter what he does,his father never comes to visit him. His father did not come to see hisachievements, he was a bright and intelligent

child but he never heard any single praise from his so called father. Whenever he wants to talk at his father the response he always get was that he is busy. His birthdays were not celebrated by the dukedom but every year his nanny and his 25 year old butler always give him cakes and treats for a birthday party even though it is simple, for him it was enough. As days goes by the cheerful child became cold and indifferent. He changed. The nanny and butler noticed this and was starting grow worried nevertheless they never left the youngster.

When he was 10 years old a baron came knocking at their door, he was not alone there he saw his sister. Wide eyed, he stared at his sister, of course he was shocked who would not be. He was happy that his long lost sister were now here safe and sound until, when he saw the look in his father's face. He was crying, his father was crying? He gently hugged his daughter smiling with a gentle expression. Devonnes jealousy soared 'why? Why? Why do you look at her like that, you never looked at me with that expression', no more specific you never looked at me at all' he laughed bitterly he shook his head with sorrowful expression. From then on he noticed that his father always went to visit his sister, he would always accompany her for tea, a stroll he even gave him parties. His once cold father suddenly changed at the appearance of her sister. He was stunned, he can't believe that the cause of his father's smile was because of his sister. He analysed her, she was gentle, yes but she was clumsy, lacking manners and the worst thing was she called him father! He was stalking his father and his sister when they were having afternoon tea and his sister blurted out the word father, he froze. He wished that his father would scold her or something, but no! His father actually let her call him that! He had a doting smile towards her sister, he even carried her.

He never once called his father that way he addresses him as duke or my lord. He was confused, his anger grew, and his anger towards his sister grew even more. He was stunned, his eyes were blurry. Tears were dripping in his face, with a bitter smile he watched them have their moments. That was the first and last time
