The Baffled Baron
Baron Hugh was no Viscount Felldan, but it did not mean that he was not a man of ambition. While Viscount Felldan drew others through his appearance which was the envy of others, Baron Hugh worked on his own.
However, not all dreams were achieved by a person in their lifespan due to circumstances in their own life.
A person might have found himself marrying and settling down, building a family and putting aside whatever goals and ambitions that he had in his youth to become the provider of his family.
It was not something uncommon.
In fact, it was sometimes why children were sometimes to be had. The unfulfilled ambitions of the parents were often, unconsciously or consciously, passed down to their children.
If someone did not achieve their dream, at least their child might do it.
