For the next three weeks, Damien secluded himself in his estate.
It was the first thing he did openly after coming to Void Palace, which confused everyone.
The servants in his residence were disallowed from leaving. His wives came over after a day, and other than them, only his mother could enter and exit the area as she pleased.
Everyone else was barred at the gate. Whether it be Serena, his sisters, his aunt and uncle, or anyone else. It didn't matter what their position was nor did it matter how close they were to him.
For now, they couldn't see him.
It started many rumors around the palace.
What was the new Young Lord doing?
This disconnected stance made it seem like he didn't want to be a part of Void Palace. It looked like the only one he cared for was his own mother, while everyone else was insignificant in his eyes.
The negative rumors circulated and got blown out of context rapidly, and Damien's reputation began to fall.
