Chapter 24. Foster Sister
It has been a year since Henry Ashford inherited the title of Archduke.
In that time there is no trace of the child he once was. He had to grow up as fast as he could to rule the archdukedom. Even the boy's gaze became serious and imposing.
True, his real identity he could not hide only in front of his secretary. While in public he still had to wear the mask of a defenseless child.
It was a kind of security tactic. No one should be able to guess the young head's true abilities.
During this year, through hard work-Henry had accomplished many things. For one thing, the Ashford family was no longer the center of ridicule. On the contrary. More and more people began to say that a new era had dawned for the family.
Second, the perfect reputation Henry had once aspired to was finally within reach. Gaining power and people's approval at the same time was the key to a successful future.
