I held the fan next to my face as I walked down the many steps to the main hall of the mansion. The butler looked at me before announcing.
"The Duke of Avalon's heir and firstborn daughter Mila has arrived."
I nodded at the butler as I smiled genuinely. Noble men and women dressed in dresses and coats faced me. Despite their smiles I could feel their judging stares. I walked down the center of the hall towards the Marquis who sat on a chair next to a timid woman. The woman had ginger hair like John along with emerald eyes. Despite her smile, the rest of her expression to me spelled.
"The only reason why you deserve my son is because of your father."
