(Dailus POV)
I am Dailus, the Eldest son and supposed heir of Lindulf House.
Both my grandparents and parents had made sure that I was prepared to take over the house ever since I was born, putting me through various special lessons and training.
I had never stopped to question them since it was the only thing I grew up to know.
Even when it came to my sister Odriana, I had been taught to see her as nothing but a useful asset like the rest of the House did. Especially since we were still relatively new in the trading community and needed allies on our side.
Nothing as convenient as marrying off your family members to other larger families, then using the newly obtained familial relationship to take advantage of their resources.
So when Mother had came back from the forests behind our house clutching a baby in her arms, none of us had thought anything about it.
