POV Jasmine

I knew that Duke Grey was emotionless as most of the people in the empire knew, but to not even care as my husband, no his own son was killed shocking. I knew he transcended us humans and was the empire first High human is a century. However to think that he would be changed to this much was beyond my comprehension.

I left along with the house butler from the throne I took a last look at the Duke but his gaze was as usual not interested in anything in this world. Maybe I made a mistake coming here,I could have gone to my mother and she would have treated me and my son better.

But I knew that My son and I would not be safe and the only place we were completely protected was near Duke Grey as no one deared to threaten our lives around him not even the emperor himself.

I was lead to a manor next to a lake just a few miles of the castle, while it wasn't the most beautiful of places it had a charm to it. I could only hope that my son would grow up safe here.

While I still missed William I knew that I had to be strong for my son and I shouldn't cry around despite being overwhelmed by emotions.

'I will take care of our son William' I whispered to my self.

POV Lady Mylla Royce

" I hope my daughter feels safe at the hands of that old heartless man."

"She would be mother" answered my first born son.

I knew why she didn't come to me it was because while house Royce was among the seven great houses we were weaker than the rest when it comes to overall might.

"Matriarchy! We received a letter from lady Jasmine." Rushed in the butler who was out of breath.
