Ernest tried to look for her after he returned to the hall, but she disappeared into thin air. He asked around, and everyone seemed to know who he was talking about, but no one knew who she was.

If he were to become the head of the family, Ernest might not be allowed to choose his bride. Love would never be too good of a reason to marry someone into the family. As the head of the family, Ernest would be forced to marry someone for their abilities to support the Zamek family.

"Don't go there. The higher the place is, the lonelier it gets. It's so much better to look upward as you're holding hands with people who care about you than to look down on a lot of people by yourself."

"What a foolish thinking! That would only destroy the family. Does your father know about this? He should stop your brother from inheriting the title if he still values his family lineage and status."

Ernest spoke honestly for the first time in a while. Normally, he would brush it off to protect Hubert's name, and consequently, the Zamek family name. But this time, he felt like he could be honest with her and she wouldn't judge him for it.

That suddenly made Ernest feel better. So this young lady asked for his identity not because she wanted something, but because she was about to compare him to Hubert. Ernest had his share of being compared to his older brother, and the result was always favorable to him.

Exhaustion began to take over the young lady's body as she collapsed to the ground. She lay on the ground, extending her arms to both sides of her body. "I've never run so hard in my life."

Even his friends would tell her to go with the servant if such a situation occurred.

Cleaning one's head with aromatic properties such as vanilla was a privilege for the rich. It signified this young lady's wealth and status. She must not be just an ordinary person.

He blushed and quickly tried to hide his red face. He thanked the moon for being absent tonight. The stars alone weren't enough to show the crimson shade of his cheeks.

This sight, in addition to her nonchalant remarks, amused Ernest. It was the first time a young lady expressed her negative opinions toward social gatherings that loudly. Not to mention, she looked down to earth, considering that she did not try to keep up her appearance.

His father didn't care about Ernest's hate of the vanity that the attendees of the ball showed. His father only cared about how useful Ernest was to the Zamek family and Hubert's name.

"I don't understand His Lordship. You are far more capable of being the head of the Zamek family, why can't His Lordship see that? It'd be a shame to see a great family crumbled in the hands of a fool."

Learning from bad teachers, Hubert started to develop a hobby of ordering other people to do his job. This included Ernest, one of the most capable people around Hubert. Hubert would claim Ernest's works as his and receive the credit.

Both Hubert and Ernest were not competitive, unlike their father, and this fact had brought Castellan Stanislaus a headache. He believed that it was his competitiveness, eagerness to win, and dissatisfaction with stagnancy that brought the Zamek family to the current position.

When Ernest won against Hubert in anything, their father would scold Ernest, calling him crass and overbearing. He saw Ernest as the younger brother who tried to bring down the heir apparent of the family name. In reality, it was the last thing Ernest had in mind.

Ernest, on the other hand, was the brighter kid among the children. He outsmarted his older brother on all occasions, only to be dismissed by their father. Innocent games and competitions would become a space for Castellan Stanislaus to criticize his youngest son.

Ever since they were young, Castellan Stanislaus had been grooming Hubert to be the next head of the house. He received a proper education to be a leader, which he failed pretty often. These failures made the Castellan frustrated, but he never changed his decision.

In this world, the second sons were practically nobody. They were no more than a substitute son. Ernest's value would only go up if the worst and unlikely case of Hubert not being able to inherit the title for some reason happened.
