Cain was leaning against the wall. It's an inappropriate word for dealing with a crisis but he doesn't like it they pulled his Evy into it. If the child doesn't know it means the duchess. It's love swallowed love.
"Cain I don't need anymore candy," A gentle voice said. Cain turn around his eyes were as gentle as ocean lake.
"I'm glad I don't need bring you anymore candy. Can I give you a hand?" Cain asked Fenix who looked at his hand he looked out the stars his eyes narrowed. Suddenly to give him his hand why? What does he plan to do? Fenix sighed let's not overthink over it. Fenix reached out and touched Cain hand.
Cain started to take off Fenix hand but he was about to pull away. But cain held his hand tightly.
"Wait I have something to give you," Cain said quietly he put his hand inside his suit and he pulled black silk gloves they had Evy on it.
"Isn't it much prettier?"
It's much tighter not bad as well it's also protecting the nails he clenched his fists he felt like he wasn't harming his palm.
"Thank you cain this is why is prettier it's mine and mine alone but Cain they are things you don't know and when you do know do not dislike me," Fenix muttered.
"Okay I am done with business. Ah Evy, let me know when you need more candy," Cain said he took off his mask and he tilted his head and looked at Fenix.
Fenix eyes widen at this moment he looked like a school boy who has crush. Wait a moment he can't have a crush on Cain right?
"Lady!"
Fenix turn around and he saw a maid.
"Lady Sally return to the residence alone!"
"She went alone."
There is no way that child would go alone something must have happened to her.
Whitlock Mansion
"Sally come home alone in hurry, did something happened who bullied you?" Rosemary asked her daughter who glared at her she was really angry.
"Mom what are you saying! Why am I replacing Evette! How can I do such a thing to my own sister!" Sally shouted.
"What's wrong" Fenix asked he used teleportation when he heard that Sally came home early.
"Oh Young Master you came home early the madam and the First Lady are fighting."
"Why?"
"It seems like the lady knows about your fiancé being hers now."
Fenix stepped forward she walked straight toward where the fight was. Mother sight is short there is no way that people aren't talking about the fiancé people are judging and everything is asking questions.
"This already have been decided plus Evette can't even marry him! He is a guy!" Rosemary shouted.
Sally stepped backwards.
"You mean my sister a guy then why are you forcing him to be a girl! Why didn't I know this! I will replace my sister no my brother and he will become me has ever been himself at all? Does that even make since?"
"Evette was original yours he should be grateful that he is even living here! This what she allowed now ask him yourself."
Fenix arms were crossed but when Sally turn around Fenix was shocked to see Sally who was in tears?
Why
Is it unfair make decision without her knowing? If not, he will give you a name but why cry?
"How can I do...How can I lead the duke on the behalf of Evette! No what is your real name?"
"His real name is Fenix, Sally no one in the outside world knows about it so keep it to yourself."
You came back to steal everything. But before if someone looks at her right now one would think he is the one bullying him. She was crying because he was stolen everything.
"Fenix speak," Rosemary snapped.
"Sally aren't we brothers and sisters?"
His tired.
"Actually I want Sally to help me a little bit," Fenix said in a tiring voice he keeps hearing an unfamiliar voice.
"As you know the name Millie is an integral part of Duke Family right?" Fenix muttered he took a step forward he looked at Sally.
"So you should continue to be in the family."
Fenix sighed he came up with a stupid lie.
"Because I am in love with the crown prince!" Fenix lied. If he says something like that it should shut them up right he truly dislike this kind of method.
"Love.."
"Ha," Rosemary muttered.
"One of us should have the duke, and Millie Sally Winchester should be the duchess. But I want to marry the crown prince as soon as possible," Fenix said and held on Sally hand.
"So I am sorry Sally, can you take charge of the Duke under Millie Sally?"
"Brother I don't know that but I will everything I can to make you happy Brother Fenix no matter no matter!"
"Hush the fact that I am boy is only few servants in the house knows no one else know about this."
It's annoying why should he comfortable Sally? He is the victim yet no one cares as long as the real child is happy. She doesn't even know it's stupid to ask for help from him she doesn't know how much he dislike her but it's fine for the plan he will keep on moving forward.

A week later
It's been a week since Rohan return back to the empire the news is going crazy. Fenix was sitting in a chair while James was taking care of Fenix. Now it's time to officially announce in the daily newspaper.
"Ah the crown prince is back no wonder the streets are busy," James excited and Fenix closed the newspaper.
"Since when did do you know how to read?" Fenix asked and then Fenix moved so fast and grabbed James his eyes started glowing
"Speak."
"The maid who could read was fired so I kept it hidden sorry," James shuttered.
Fenix frowned if he knew that he could read he would have not opened the invitation letter in front of James at all. Was this reason my mother threw away all his servants and left James alone?
Is she going to tell mother all his actions?
Fenix slammed his hand at the table.
"You must have read all his letters, and invitation letters."
"Young Master I..."
"Are you a lost noble? What family?"
"I am not a noble."
Fenix crossed his arms and walked toward the window and sat down and he smiled.
"I don't like reading maids every much since you can tell my mother anything I am writing," Fenix said he stared out of the back garden that was extremely beautiful. Fenix long silver hair that flowed down his back blew against the window.
"I have never said that! I want to remain by the young master side I am blessed by the young master please let me stay by your side!"
"Blessed?"
"Yes when I was young my mother was sick and I was doing pick poking I meant a young silver haired boy who."
Fenix eyes widen ah.
When he was twelve years old
It was the day when he was tired of his mother coldness he was tired of being a fake lady so he went out as himself he felt so much freedom he could act as little boy for his age. He wore a veil that covered half of his face. At that time a boy grabbed his hand and his eyes glowed.
A little boy who was suffering skinny and looked hopeless he had a burn mark on her right side forehead.
"Please save me just once, my mother is sick sob, sob please help me everyone else."
"You want money? Fine take it, things like this don't matter to me, suffering to be a girl is suffering I dislike faking things so have it all you want do as you please," the young silver boy said coldly and looked at the poor boy before he turn around and walked away."
Now
"Ah you are that child," Fenix muttered he reached over and touched James forehead. So it's that boy at the time he was saying words out of anger at an innocent person.
"Thanks you my brother and mother were saved you are my savior!"
He looks like he isn't lying let's believe him once.
"Then can you do something for me?" Fenix asked and leaned on forehead.
"Anything you want I will stand by your side young master."
"Bahaha."
He has a great servant even his own parents aren't on his side.
'Master...!'
[Who is this!?]
'You can finally hear me I am your....oh no I am being unconnected wait for me!'
Fenix smiled so brightly.
"Alright James! Don't let me down!" Fenix said the smile of his was so blindly. How can the duchess hate the young master so much his original body is far more beautiful. He would the most beautiful young man in the empire! He has the most beautiful in the empire his family such an idiot for not seeing this.
He is in a different level from Lady Sally since birth.
