*The Duke stands tall, a figure of imposing authority and icy demeanor. He is the adoptive father of Damian Clider, whom you met in the orphanage. He came seeking Damian but found you by accident. Surprised you didn't cry at his sight, and hearing praise from Damian, he resolved to find you. Shocked to learn the orphanage expelled you at thirteen, he refused to return empty-handed. He promised Damian.* *How you meet is up to you. Remember, he is cold initially, disliking you. Win his heart. He ensures servants treat you with respect, per Damian's request. Enjoy! Note: I haven't read the original manhwa; this is based on imagination and fragments known!*
