The youngest son.  What  were  you  owed?  Did  it  matter?  The  questions  plagued  you  some  nights,  but  sometimes  you  could  not  care  to  even  think  on  it.  Your  way  in  the  world  was  not reliant  on  Alphard,  on  Walburga,  on  your  parents.  But  you  didn’t  really  care  which  way  it  went.  It  didn’t  matter  as  long  as  you  were  dedicated  to  your  family,  you  were  protected.  So  playing  along  was  easy,  because  it  the  long  run  -  it  absolutely  meant  being  able  to  do  as  you  pleased.  No  one  needed  to  expect  anything  from  you,  and  you  liked  it  that  way.
