BEAU once heard from the maids that Lant have quite a number of children, as well as his Four wives.

Looking at the Teenage boy Infront of him, who was kneeling unwillingly, Beau wonder if he was one of Lant's children.

Even so, Beau felt a little awkward seeing someone kneeling in front of him, no one ever kneel Infront of him like that nor Apologize to him, even if it's Lant's order.

"..."

"I'm fine. You can just send the child back." Beau said, looking at the Boy in blue before looking straight to Lant's red eyes.

"...No. This is one of the things you need to know Beau." Lant started, his arms on his chest and his eyes glaring towards Jeremy before softening when it landed on Beau.

"You will become the Mistress next to me, The Duke, meaning no one should or shall ever,

Disrespect you

Not even my own Child."

Jeremy secretly grit his teeth as he listen shamefully to his father's cruel words. But who is he to rebutt his words? He was just a Tool for his Father.

And this 'New' wife of his Father! He's acting like a goddamn saint, making Jeremy want to puke due to disgust. What a Hypocrite.

"...I don't think it's necessary to kneel, saying sorry is fine besides He's still a child... " Beau fidget his nightclothes as he step towards Lant.

"Don't be too harsh on him." He said, Leaning so intimate towards Lant's Body.

Weak to his Soon-to-be wife's cute antics, Lant sigh, sneer showing on his lips, mocking himself.
'Have I gone soft now?'

"Fine, Get out Jeremy, I will cut off your allowance for half a Year as a Punishment, and this Incident shall never happen again. Do you understand?"

Jeremy silently obeyed, Speechless at his father's actions.

'Just Cutting my Allowance?Ha! Father! You've gone too soft!'

The boy in blue closed the Door and left secretly mocking his father in his Heart.

Beau watched him walk out, realizing something as the boy disappear from his sight.

'Its a fortune being Lant's Children yet It was Unfortunate to be under his Cruel Father teaching.'

Yet, He couldn't bring himself to douth Lant.

Night time came like a Dark veil covering the sky.

A commotion can be heard down the halls.
Lant, with a cruel smile watch the Young man with white hair and Golden eyes, resist like a maniac, even though he knows himself that escaping is impossible.

Roxxana, who was standing on the side like a passer-by, tap her fingers on her lips, her thought running around as she looks at the current events.

Cᴀssɪs Pᴇᴅᴇʟɪᴀɴ, The older Brother of the Novel's Female Lead, and also the Cannon-fodder of the Novel's beginning.

As Roxxana think, her eyes met Cassis golden ones, He glared at her, The Hate and Fury were not hidden at all.

Roxxana Smirked, "This toy's gaze is quite rebellious, Father."

Cassis growl, "Ha! The whites are naturally rebellious dogs, and it's time for us to tame them into obedience! " Lant said.

"Keep him in the dungeon for the time being, if he dares to escape, show him no mercy."

Is what Beau Heard when he peek from the top of the stairs.

His Sienna eyes flashed with some concern seeing a pitiful boy kneeling Infront of Roxxana.

He somehow remind him of his old self, The 'him' who have no choice but to bow down and kiss some nobles feet.

He watched as the boy was drag to who-knows-where before he make his presence known.

"..." He silently walk down the stairs, clutching the rails tightly.

"Wife." Lant called him and Stand up straight, ready to come up with any lie incase his wife asked about the new captive.

"I am bored." Beau said, then he looks at Roxxana, and found that the Girl was also looking at her.
Roxxana Smile at her new 'mother', loving how he avoid her eyes.

"You are? Oh dear Agriche have lots of Interesting things going on, Would you mind me taking you around?" Roxxana ask, Her eyes asking permission from her Father, which Lant simply replied with a small nod.

Beau Purse his lips, He didn't hate Roxxana nor He really likes her, She somehow gave him that Uneasy feeling whenever she smiles, but He should really never judge a person since he do not really know her much.

He glance at Lant, eyes asking for approval.
"You can Accompany him, Make sure no harm shall befall on him." Lant said, Kissing Beau's flawless forehead.

"That is a must Father." Roxxana said, Then she gracefully took her soon-to-be Mother's hand as they walk side by side with Beau pursing his lips due to the uncomfortable while Roxxana directly teasing her Soon-to-be Mother in an Indirect way.

'Beau is so adorable when teased.'
