Illegitimate Child

"Patriarch, if I may speak..." Rouge said as he kept his head down.

Even though Rouge knew that he was being favored by the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, he wouldn't dare abuse it or something like that as he knew that would just incur hate to him by other people.

Of course, those other people include the 6 pillars, who just got treated so harshly by the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

However, even though the Patriarch just treated them so harshly and even shouted out loud as he talked to them, his...facial expression softened up as he turned his head to look at Rouge.

"Hmm? What is it, Rouge? You may speak up," the Patriarch said with a voice as smooth as butter.

It was just...incomprehensible why the Patriarch is showing such obvious favoritism to Rouge, who was just a random captain in the lower-ranks.
