From childhood, the duke was surrounded by strictness, textbooks, and sword fights. Even his mother did not give Jonathan enough love for him to understand the meaning of the word. The marquise, on the other hand, grew up in the opposite way. From an early age, she was a favourite, just because. Did your expensive toy break? No problem, they'll buy you a new one. Did you hurt yourself? They'll kiss your nose and forehead and so on.
