Liamond, the second son of Viscount Stough of the noble lineage renowned for their advanced mastery of medicine and pharmacy, was raised in a strict family that adhered to the laws without mercy.
He was surrounded by suffocating restrictions, like a shadow that haunted him wherever he went, as his family forbade him from even the simplest things under the name of laws that protected the family:
1 . No playing with other children or talking about the servants or anything seen in the house, even as a joke.
2 . Never, ever try to speak or interact with the servants who appear lifeless.
3 . If you need help or want to enter the kitchen, contact the butler.
4 . Never sing. Singing is forbidden.
5 . Do not approach or enter the Viscount's office without permission.
6 . Never request food after mealtime and do not wander around at night.
7 . Listen to everything the gardener says and never attempt to enter the glass garden.
8 . Never bring strangers into the house.
In this gloomy atmosphere, Liamond always felt a sense of mystery surrounding every corner of the mansion, as if there were hidden secrets beneath every stone.
Liamond lived a life entirely different from his brother Fred, who everyone saw as the perfect successor to their father. Fred, with his perfect adherence to the laws, was like a shadow walking in his parents' footsteps. To Fred, the laws were like shackles that couldn't be broken, yet he felt a strange comfort within those shackles, as if they protected him from something he couldn't understand.
But to Liamond, the laws were walls that blocked out life, making him feel like a prisoner in a golden cage. He enjoyed sleeping until ten in the morning, loved traveling, and was interested in mechanics rather than politics and economics.
Every time his parents looked at him, they felt a growing disappointment day by day. Their eyes held mysterious glances, full of disappointment and mixed feelings, as if they feared Liamond harbored a secret that could break the family's imposed constraints.
As time passed, Liamond began to feel lost, as if he were a worthless failure. He tried to be like Fred, attending fencing training and studying law and economics, just to please his parents.
But inside, he was torn by boredom and frustration, feeling like he was living in a prison bound by restrictions, as if the mansion itself was conspiring against him, trying to hide the truth behind its ornate walls.
