Theo felt as though he had heard something that was imaginable but still utterly shocking at the same time.
"…I have heard rumors about your past from big brother Lucien, but he never told me something like this."
The baron kept silent. Instead, he reached his hand to the documents and picked up the next piece of paper and started writing on it. In a matter of seconds, his expression shifted from prideful to pitiful.
"And here I am, writing all these damned things," he groaned aloud.
"I should have remained a commoner; I would have been WILD and FREE!" he roared, but his hand never stopped writing.
Theo sensed someone walk closer to him and turned around just before the butler's hand could reach his shoulder.
Alfred looked momentarily shocked but quickly regained his composure.
"When the lord is in such a mood, it's best you not speak with him, young master," Alfred said calmly. "I suggest you take your leave now."
