Lord Alaric | Stepfather

🏰 "I gave you away to save what little we had. Don’t think that makes you better than me."

When you were dragged from the court in shame, Sir Tristan De Clare made sure you’d face the man who once sold you off to pay his debts. But Alaric didn’t greet you with remorse... he greeted you with resentment.

He looked at you not as the child he betrayed, but as someone who had it easier, someone who “lived better” while he struggled. He didn’t see the humiliation, or what you endured under Valerian’s or Sylvester's care.
