Erza was a loyal maid of the Felrose Dukedom. The Duke Derek was friendly, and was willing to hear out the servants when something happened. The Duchess Belle was kind, and sometimes helped out in the kitchen or garden when she didn't have any work to do with the dukedom's Gem trade.
And the Eldest Young Master, Liam was a mix of both, with a healthy amount of respect for what all the servants did for his house.
However, The Youngest Master, Luca, was quite strange. He was normally quiet, reserved and respectful, but sometimes it was like a switch was flipped and he became rude, angry and violent.
And in those moments of violence his father the Duke had to restrain him.
As he got older, the frequency of his switch getting flipped decreased, but that just meant everytime he was stronger and bigger, able to do more damage then the last.
It was one of the reasons he never learned any magic even though he deeply desired to. For fear that he would use it on his loved ones.
It was also the reason why rumors of him being an evil heir spread, and as no one knew who started these rumors, they went unpunished and forced Luca to be kept inside of his estate at all times. Because his parents fear what others will do to him.
'Poor boy.' Erza thought with pity as she stood outside of his door. She sighed deeply to herself, calming herself and readying herself for his violent switch to be pulled. Unlike last time where she got a crisp slap on the face by his soft hands.
She chuckled at the memory of the poor boy who brought her a small cake as an apology with drooping teary eyes. How could she stay made at him after all the work he did? or More importantly, how much the duke and duchess upped her pay permanently for it? And not a small amount either! Really, Erza should have been the one thanking Luca instead of him apologizing.
Erza opened the door and said "Young Master~ Are yo-" She went quiet at the sight of the 16 year old boy holding and leaning onto a wooden chair, he's shaking like a drenched puppy in the cold rain.
Not to mention the blood practically pouring from his nose. "Ep!" Erza made a noise of horror, and Luca mindlessly turned his head up and gave a blank look at Erza, his eyes cloudy and unfocused.
The look shocked Erza into action. "Hold on, Young Master! I-i'll go get your parents!" She stumbled over her words a little, and started running, neigh, sprinting back to the dinner table where his family was seated for a nice breakfast.

After a moment to collect his thoughts, Luca managed to re-arrange the memories in a effective way. It was a weird feeling, having two, much different sets of memories at the same time.
One was a mentally ill noble boy who for some reason gained the status of heir of the dukedom to the outside world, and the other was of a overworked office worker who got cheated on by his wife of 4 years.
Luca got up from his bed and walked over to his desk, grabbed a piece of paper and started to write down some important things that he learned.
1. - He was the heir only in name because of some nasty rumors about him.
2. - Luca was the youngest child, having a big brother named Liam 2 years his senior, so 18. He had a mother who obsessively cares and worries about him, and a father who's probably the only reason that Luca isn't living in a metal box, curtsy of his mother wishes.
3. - The Felrose household owns a gem mountain that they use for income.
4. - He's currently engaged to the third princess who's the same age as him.
Thats all that he could think of at this time. Mainly because Luca's been sheltered and locked away for all of his life. So not knowing very much is understandable. Especially since he feared his "other self" would use it against him.
Looking at the piece of paper, he wanted to try something.
"inventory. . ." He mumbled as he gave the paper an intense stare.
...
Luca sighed, still having the piece of paper in his hand. "Awww. Oh well." He shrugged helplessly. He instead crumbled the paper and threw it into his trashcan.
He leaned back on his chair with his arms crossed as he thought absentmindedly. Though he did get a little curious at the faint sounds of footsteps rapidly approaching his location.
"Is someone having a party or something i wasn't invited to?" He asked himself curiously with a chuckle.

The dinning room was quiet, tranquil even. Only the sound of silverware clinking against ceramics as knifes cut sausages and forks transferred eggs to mouths. However, the calm atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of quick footsteps, and the door being opened urgently.
"Duke! Young Master Luca!" Erza panted as she looked at the Duke with a serious, worried gaze.
Erza continued. "H-his nose was gushing blood! A-and he was shaking really, really bad!"
The Duke got up quickly, the Duchess and Liam followed his movement. And they started to hurry to Luca's room.
It barely took 5 minutes to get to his room, but it felt like hours, and they slammed his door open. Only to see him sitting on his wooden chair with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. The Duchess immediately ran over to him and wanted to check him all over.
"Darling! Are you alright?!" Belle checked his nose first, and saw a little bit of red stained on his upper lip, and that was all it took before she went mad "Call the doctor!" She commanded, and her husband and Liam didn't say anything to stop her.
"Luca, Are you alright?" Liam asked with a little worry. Normally he wouldn't be interested in his brother getting hurt or something. But this was much different then usual. He's seen his brother break something in a violent rage and bleed, but never has he bled for no reason.
Derek didn't say anything, but a father's worry could be seen in his eyes. His meaty fists clenched a little. This was much more difficult for Derek to deal with then a normal outrage from Luca.
"I'm fine." Luca even smiled a little to put their worries at ease, but it only made his mother more worried. "Are these doctors useless?! Its been 14 seconds and nobodies shown yet?!" Luca chuckled a little at his mother's worried expression.
"I said i'm fine, Mother. I guess i spent too much time in the bath or something." Luca had to say something to try and ease his mother. Because if he didn't, these doctors may not have a job much longer at the Felrose Dukedom.
