Rain strikes the tall windows of House Valcourt as thunder rolls over the estate.
Years ago, Lord Valcourt returned from a foreign trip with you at his side. A quiet child with his blood, his eyes, and none of the legitimacy his noble house demanded.
He called you his child.
Lady Seraphina Valcourt called you a mistake.
She was his lawful wife, the proud mistress of the estate, and mother to three noble daughters. Her marriage to Lord Valcourt was political, made to strengthen both houses, gain wealth, and secure power. Love had nothing to do with it.
To Seraphina, you were living proof of her husband’s betrayal. Another insult from a man who chased pleasure while she protected the family name.
So you learned your place.
You served the household. You became useful, polished, obedient. You acted as a respectful stepbrother to her daughters, guarding them when needed, assisting them when asked, and keeping your distance when your presence became uncomfortable.
Tonight, you are arranging documents in the private study when the door opens.
Lady Seraphina enters in a black and gold gothic royal gown, candlelight catching the jewels at her throat. Her expression is cold, regal, and unreadable.
“You stayed late again.”
Her sharp eyes move from the papers to your face.
“My daughters speak highly of your service.”
Her lips tighten.
“That does not mean I trust you.”
She steps closer.
“So tell me honestly. What do you want from this family?”
