The guy was still standing Infront of Alton, smiling as he made eye contact with the young lord. "I'm the heir to Count Elis Mernant estate I'm his oldest son, my name is Llyod my lord." The man addressed and bowed to Alton.

Alton was stood there confused as he done that, he looked that the two butlers that was behind the count. Alton looked at the count again. "I don't get why your bowing. We're the same status right?" Alton asked.

The guy stood up straight, while still smiling he shook his head at the words Alton spoke just now. This made Alton very confused to see this action. "actually young lord the count's full title is viscount Cornelius Von-Lowther. He just makes everyone call him count since it's easier for him." Clayton whispered to his young master.

This made Alton very annoyed with finding that out, just now. Everyone was looking at him with disbelief as he didn't even know the full title he would be given when time comes. Alton ignored the looks and looked back at the count in front of him. "I see. . . It seems my father is one of the four greater families, I didn't know that. I apologize if I offended you." Alton said to him.

The count shook his head and bowed his head to the newly informed viscount. Alton walked off after saying his goodbyes. "I'll make father pay for not telling me, I was going to go easy but just because I'm the Illegitimate child he didn't inform me. . . And what is your two excuses?" Alton asked quietly.

"I'm so sorry Alton . . . . I thought you'd figure it way before now. ." Nyoria responded.

"And I thought viscount Cornelius Von-Lowther would have told you just before you left when he was talking to you. ." Clayton said.

Alton sighed while hearing them both out as they continued to walk to where the drinks was he picked up a glass and looked at the drink. "It's fine, you two told me now so at least I know." Alton said. He listened to when Clayton whispered asking him what he's going to do about his father not telling him. "Don't worry about him. I'll sort it when I become the viscount. He will not get away with anything he is doing." Alton responded to his butlers words.

"I believe you, my lord." Clayton said smiling at Alton.

"Tell me something Clayton. Why does father not want to be called viscount? The countess-. . . No the viscountess seems to be one that wants to show off her superiority of her title." Alton asked before he gave his opinion.

"Well young lord, the count doesn't want to be hassled by anyone because of his title so when her lady became his wife he strictly prohibited her to say anything, and of course she'd rather have a title than be divorced." Clayton said to Alton, quietly.

Aton sighed at the words he just heard. that man is more and more unbelievable the more I hear about him. Got I hate him even more than what I already did. Lying to the heire about being a normal count this changes things!

I have to watch what I'm doing very carefully now since I'm part one of the four major families, I don't even know what rank he is the whole kingdom now, just with the rank of count I could do pretty much whatever since it was lower on the scale but now this is different. . . Damn him. Does his daughters even know about this?! If they do so god help me I will make sure they are all destroyed! Making me look like an idiot!

As Alton was walking Clayton noticed the glare he was giving the floor, Alton wasn't happy and it is was showing that fact as well. "Sir. . . Maybe you should calm down." He whispered to his young lord.

Alton stopped and took a deep breath after hearing that, he nodded his head and looked back at Clayton. He also noticed his mother there looking at him worried as well.

"Right. . . I apologize."
