The lights in the study were a little dim and the colorful glass windows appeared a little melancholic. They were no longer as beautiful or vibrant as they usually were. Duke Moville sat in front of the desk and stared at the sculpture of Catherine the Great, his eyes glassed over. All he could think about was the glory enjoyed by the Moville Family during the Renaissance period.
However, their glorious past had become history.
The Moville Family was no longer as powerful or authoritative as they used to be.
Ever since he became a duke, he had set his mind to rebuild his family's reputation and gain the glory back. However, the fact that he still could not salvage their family's power despite having resorted to plenty of scheming tricks, made him feel rather dejected.
