Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Privileged

Life as a commoner is never easy. You will never experience being fed by a golden spoon. Nobles will look down on you and will use you as a bad influence to their children.

''Push, Layla!''

''AHHHH!!!'' I heard my mother shout as she gave birth to my younger sibling. I hopefully wish the child's a boy.

I learned the difference of commoners and nobles at the age of six. Nobles seems to have unlimited benefits while us, children of poverty, seems to lack a lot of birthright.

We cannot have good education like the noble's children.

Life will never be easy if your untitled. Duke or Earl, they are living the life of all men.

I aspire to be a physician. I like staring at the sky, hoping one day I would learn what those tiny sparkles that only comes at night are. At some point, I thought it was just in my eyes when one day Father caught me gazing at it.

''Your looking at the stars?'' he asked and sat beside me.

''Stars?'' I asked.

''Your eyes are full of wonders, Levine.'' He said. ''You see, son. Those things you have your attention for nights are called stars.''

''So that's what it's called. I have been wondering for days, Father. Thank you for telling me that.''

''You know son, stars are kind of like us.''

''Why, Father?'' I asked as I cannot comprehend what father was saying.
