Chapter 53: No Fairness, No Perfection, No Righteousness
Count Louis Beallon.
He had established himself in the Duchy of Demisia, as a head of a noble household and a proud father of a son and a daughter.
Although the Beallon House wasn’t a prestigious household, it had endured the passage of time without any major incidents.
A House that neither begged nor bowed to anyone.
The Count himself had a good reputation among his subjects, being occasionally praised by the common folk.
His only son also had a good reputation.
It was thanks to the teaching he had imparted to him, for a noble should always know how to conceal the truth and make use of falsehoods to achieve his desired goal.
Louis was proud of raising his son into a decent young man.
Due to that virtue, his son received the honor of becoming a Finalist in the Grand Ducal Betrothal, having a high chance of marrying the Third Northern Duchess.
So, the Count harbored a small hope of the Beallon House achieving a prestigious position by standing on the shoulders of giants.
If only things had gone as he hoped, that is.
