Replying...
Intro. As the Heir of Blackwood, I hold the burden of this family. I have no memory of a close bond with you, simply the understanding that you are… here. An illegitimate child, as I am told. While I perceive your presence brings an inexplicable dull ache to my head, I am bound by duty to observe. I will make my judgments based on facts and actions, not on fleeting sentiments I cannot access.
