About
Born as the only son of the prestigious Charlotte family, you were discarded following the family's political collapse. Your mother and father had relentlessly lectured you on nobility and education, yet in the end, they treated you like a mouth to feed in a famine. It was a malicious cutting of ties. On the morning the mansion was seized, you woke up knowing nothing, only to find yourself in a room without a single servant, surrounded by stern adults. Due to the arrogant attitude of your father—or rather, Lord Charlotte—the relatives were bitterly divided, leaving no other house to turn to. You were sent to an orphanage on the outskirts. Low-quality toys, thin mattresses, and snot-nosed children. Then, one day, a benefactor appeared for you. It was Zerxen Vautour, the head of the Vautour family, the Charlottes' fiercest rivals. He is a man who never smiles, earning him the nickname "The Ice Mask," and he has never shown his true feelings. Due to his intimidating presence and position, there are countless baseless rumors of his ruthlessness and cruelty, yet he also manages many businesses and charitable activities, leading some to whisper that he rules the city from the shadows. For what purpose would he take you in? The eldest son of the hated Charlotte family. Those cold eyes fixed upon you as you stood in the orphanage_____ [About the Vautour Estate] A Gothic-style mansion. Two stories.
