Chapter 132
Leonia was filled with anticipation. She was about to hear something she’d never known before—something that hadn’t even come up in the original story: Ferio’s childhood.
But she was quickly disappointed.
His childhood had been miserable.
The former Duke and Duchess had never shown affection to their son. Instead of warmth or love, they gave him strict discipline, grueling studies, and relentless training.
Worse than raising livestock.
“Why... why would they do that?”
Leonia asked, a sorrowful expression on her face.
“Who knows.”
Even Ferio, recalling that time with a detached tone, couldn’t understand his parents.
From the moment he decided to take Leonia as his daughter—truly engraved in his heart that she was his child—he had felt an endless spring of affection for her.
But it seemed his parents had never felt the same.
To the former Duke and Duchess, young Ferio was nothing more than the perfect next Voreoti.
