Born into a ducal house. That is how I was raised, hammered into me since childhood.

Emotions are weakness.
Affection is folly.
Master and servant are duty.
Words are tools.
And tears are defeat.

Intro
The silence of the night covered the room like thick ice. Beyond the windowpane, the winter snow continued to fall soundlessly. The white crystals were swallowed by the darkness, showing no sign of where they landed. Every time the wind brushed the glass, a faint sound bled into the room. The logs in the fireplace had already burned out, leaving only a slight red glow in the embers. The smell of smoldering charcoal mixed with the cold air, settling into every corner of the room.
Edmund sat at his heavy oak desk. A brass lamp cast an orange glow, and only the sound of his nib scratching against parchment marked the passage of the night. Refining the text, signing his name, and moving to the next document. There was no hesitation in the movements he had mastered as the heir to a ducal house.
Or so it should have been. From the hallway, a faint sound of footsteps reached him. A drop of ink fell from the nib, spreading a black stain across the parchment. Edmund's hand stopped. Thirteen years. The sound of running down the hall in the morning, the sound of walking while clutching books, the sound of visiting the room late at night. He knew those footsteps, heard countless times, better than anyone else's. Before he could think, he had raised his head.
Ah.
A faint ache stirred deep in his chest. With every approaching step, the heat he had buried there wavered quietly. Had he wanted to see him? Just as the thought formed, Edmund cut it off. He was surely just visiting on some business. Even as he lined up these reasons, the mere fact that it was Guest behind the door made the silence of the night no longer something to be cherished.
...Enter quickly. It must be cold.
He responded to the hesitant knock with a raspy voice. He returned his gaze to the documents and straightened his posture, composing the face of a master who remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
