DAMIAN(3)
Damian went into the administrative office to look into the situation. The staff there told him that he was one step too late.
“For a disciplinary action beyond suspension, a notice of the punishment is immediately forwarded to the necessary address, regardless of whether or not an appeal has been filed.”
Damian’s address was listed as Philarch, not the north or the mansion in the capital. The office meant for handling all matters regarding the young master, such as Damian’s guards and reports, was located in Philarch. It was this office that was officially registered as Damian’s address.
The office manager received all the documents sent from Ixium and forwarded the documents to the Duke along with the written reports. In other words, all of Damian’s documents went to the office first. Damian considered going to the office that he had never been to before, but he changed his mind.
‘Father’s the one receiving it, anyways.’
Damian figured that his father wouldn’t care much about a few days of suspension, especially since it wasn’t expulsion. Damian’s speculation was correct. Before Ixium had even sent a notice of Damian’s suspension, Hugo learnt of it from his subordinate’s report. After getting the report, Hugo mumbled disinterestedly.
“Suspension? No big deal then.”
There were two things that would make Hugo have interest in Damian’s academy life. Damian being terribly harmed (or killed), or something happens that would prevent Damian from graduating. Apart from these, everything else was left to Damian. This was also why he left the guys that were disturbing Damian alone. If Damian couldn’t handle things like the guys trying to pick a fight with him at the Academy, then he wouldn’t be able to handle becoming the lord of the north.
‘What is he thinking…?’
Damian was attending the academy in a state where his status was uncertain. At first, this was Hugo’s intention. When Damian first enrolled, Hugo registered his name as ‘Damian’ only. He didn’t leave any trace that would lead to the boy’s true identity. At the time, Damian was too young, and had no power befitting of his status as the heir to a Duke. Once people became aware of his identity and focused their attention on him, unexpected and dangerous things could happen, so Hugo took appropriate measures.
Once Damian grew older and was capable of discernment, if he asked to reveal his identity, Hugo had no plans of stopping him. However, Damian was still enduring the attacks on him with bated breath and letting them pass. Judging from the line-up of the bastards looking for trouble, it was obvious that they were empty husks that wouldn’t dare to speak rashly if they knew that Damian was the son of the Duke of Taran.
The Academy was a small society made up of children, but that was also why there were more thorough in the pecking order amongst themselves. When they got out into society, they would realize that status was not a perfect solution, but as of now, the children’s world was still narrow. In the eyes of the arrogant children, the Damian, who wasn’t the Duke of Taran’s son, was a stone on the floor that they could step on as much as they liked.
‘If he has the conceited idea of not using his background at all, then that is rather dull.’
If Damian’s status was elevated due to the knowledge that he was the Duke’s son, then that was thanks to his background, not his ability. If Damian hated that and was in the process of being stubborn, then Hugo would be quite disappointed. Background was also part of one’s ability. This was a world where one could never rise above a certain height without a background.
‘There’s still time, so I’ll just have to wait and see.’
It would be fine to simply call the boy and ask him what he was thinking but Hugo did not do that. He had no plans of spoon feeding the boy. The boy had to be strong. If something happened to Hugo by any chance, he had to be capable of protecting his mother and younger sister. He didn’t originally intend to let Damian grow in a greenhouse like a flower, but after his daughter was born, he was thinking of making Damian stronger.
Hugo was not interested in the suspension. But he was interested in the fact that the suspension was caused by a fight. The boy wasn’t the type to be easily provoked to come to blows. As he chuckled, thinking ‘a child is a child, as expected’, he read the attached document which gave a full account of the fight.
Hugo’s expression gradually turned ominous. When he got to where it stated that they had trampled the handkerchief, he gripped the document in his hand tighter.
‘These young bastards are excessive.’
His wife did not accept his request to make a handkerchief for him when she was making one for Damian.
[When the one I gave you gets old, I’ll make you a new one for you.]
Hugo didn’t use the handkerchief Lucia gave him because he felt like it was too valuable. So, there was no way it was getting old. He just had no choice but to watch Lucia make a handkerchief for Damian. With the birth of Evangeline, Lucia was busy making things for her daughter to use too. Hugo didn’t know why he couldn’t get his wife to make something for him too when she was making stuff for their daughter.
Hugo checked to see which family the perpetrating child came from and committed it to memory. He wasn’t going to do anything currently, but if anything came up for him to find fault in, he would remember this day. He could hold grudges for a very long time.
* * *
The organization of the mails that poured in was one of the important things she had to do. Lucia checked the mails that came in for her. Most of them were invitations but occasionally, there were personal letters. The mails she usually waited for were letters from Damian or the occasional letter from Norman.
Lucia picked up an envelope, brought out its contents and as she read through it, her expression became increasingly strange. She checked the envelope again to verify who the sender was. It had the official seal of Ixium, signifying that it was sent from there.
This mail was not originally sent to Lucia. Today, Jerome was busy with something else so he left the sorting of the letters to another person, but that person mistakenly put it in the Madam’s mails. Lucia looked through the contents again.
“Suspension…”
It was a notice stating that Damian had been punished with seven days of suspension.
“What do they mean Damian has been suspended?”
She read the official notice several times, but it did not say the exact reason for the suspension. It only stated that he disrupted order in the school and violated the rules. There was no way her well-behaved son would cause enough trouble to be suspended. Something was wrong here.
Thankfully, her husband didn’t go out today; he was in the office, grappling with documents. Lucia took the notice in her hand and headed to her husband’s office.

Oh noooo. Lucia know about the suspension. She’s on a mission hahahaha 😀 beware hugh~
i’m sure while reading the letter at first she though “imma beat the shit outta him”
Thanks for chapter!!!
Hahaha omg i love the part where Hugo was chuckling first thinking about how Damian is still a child, because he started a fight, but then became mad himself when he read it was because of his wifes handmade handkerchief getting trampled on LMAOOO.
Hello. 🙂 where can I read about Damian’s real mom? Thanks.
They never really mention his birthmother, but I believe that there is a chapter where they simply say that she died while giving birth to him and that his biological parents really loved eachother, but I’m not sure from which chapter that was. Sorry :/
I think it’s mentioned in “The Tarans Duke’s Family Doctor” arch. But i’m not so sure 😁
She’s actually Hugh & late Hugo’s half sister (one of the result of the mad doctor Philip’s ‘experiments’ on the Taran’s bloodline), but it seemed the late Hugo was unaware of this fact till he died, and so was the half sister.
From what Hugo told Hugh about her (also forgot which chapter 🤭), Hugo truly loved this half sister (as a woman, not a sister, obviously) and maybe also planned to marry her.
I guess that’s one of the reason he did the deed (one that lead to a pregnancy 😁) at such a young age (probably about 14, cause Damian was just about 15 years younger than Hugh/Hugo). Another reason maybe the ‘virility’ thing mentioned by Lucia 😆 that’s hereditary in the Taran men.
It’s suspected if their meeting & fall-in-love part was also from Phillip’s arrangement (read : plotting). Because when the mother died some times after Hugo, Phillip immediately brought the toddler Damian to Hugh.
just a bit correction but i think demian was conceived when late hugo is 18, cause its said that he died without knowing that his lovers was pregnant. and he’s 18 when he died
Thanks for the new chapter!
Damian’s hope vanished when Lucia saw that letter! Hahaha, somethings just cant stay hidden.
Hahahhaha
Good luck Damian. Momma bear is getting down on things.
Many thanks
Does this not have a PDF version? I like to read offline. Especially when in a place with no internet
I’m going to suggest something
Please do something about this novel because it was dead links
“How to be a dark hero’s daughter”
The art is cute and I’m dying to read it!
Not dead, just locked by the translator. You should ask the translator for the password and not ask others to poach the series, poaching is bad manners in the translation community.
Uh oh…. Lucia’s going to kick up trouble…
“Children will be children lol”
“They stepped on your wife’s handkerchief.”
“I always thought we had too many noble houses.”
lol.
I know …I know …You were in the room when he read that ….weren’t you?It’s a good thing that Hugo is so far away from the situation.
Lucia Mother😠😠😠😠
Thank you for chapter 😍😍😍
obrigado pelo capitulo te amooooooooooooooooo
No! Not the limited edition Lucia handkerchief! Now you’ve really done it, random noble kid! Lmao! Hugh Really does hold grudges. Gosh, I love that crazy man! I can’t wait to see how Lucia reacts to Damian being bullied. I am loving all this Damian we’re getting, but I hope some of the side stories have Mad dog Roy and his wild tribal woman! It would be awesome if we got to see some of Lucia’s old friends like Norman and Kate.
Thank you Miss Ruby for these awesome chapters!
No joke about limited edition lol.
IIRC only 3 people in the world have one. Hugo. Damian and the King. And even the King’s one was stolen from Hugo. lol.
Thanks for the updates. 🙂
Damian and Hugh being on the same wavelength. Lmao they’re doomed, Lucia knows.
Ohohohohoh a mothers wrath will happen lol. But srsly I hated it when my mom or other parents go to school to complain and sometimes lose their diplomacy. What could Lucia do now hehe
Thanks for the chap Ruby sama!
danger is….. when mommy got to know your bad report!!
pray for hugh who discreet the news from lucia, and pray for the children who engaged fight with damian!! XDD
Oh noooo. Lucia know about the suspension. She’s on a mission hahahaha 😀 beware hugh~
Lel. Hugo and Damian are both Mama’s boys. XD
First Class Momma’s Boys.
F for those house since they are in the watch list of Duke Taran.
Thanks.
Report: Damian is suspended because he got into a fight…
Hugo: A child is a child
Report: …because another student trampled on his handkerchief
Hugo: U WOT M8?!
I like it !Neither can hold their tea when it comes to Lucia.
Ahaha petty Hugo is the cutest version of Hugo.
Very true. Just think this used to be the “untouchable demon” who no one could get close to. Now he’s willing to ruin families over a handkerchief. I bet if their family found out why they were going to be destroyed by the Duke of Taran they’d die from shame XD.
Oh nooo wkwkwk… She knows! 😂😂😂
I knew he’d be pissed off when he read the thing about Lucia’s handmade handkerchiefs xDDD
And I suspected Lucia will get notified some way. Now Mama Tiger is on the move, I bet she’ll demand Hugh to do something or she’ll show up at Ixium personally to protect her cute son.
Can’t wait to see that conversation with Hugh, though. Hopefully, the author didn’t skip that part!
Waiting for Lucia to storm the academy and protect her baby boy ~
Thank for the chapter !
Hugo is hilarious 😂
Both father and son are so attached to Lucia 😂
Well, now that Lucia knows, I think Hugo is going to ” talk ” to the academy and reveal that Damian is his son to avoid making Lucia worried.
I really want to see their conversation though, I don’t think he’s going to tell her about Damian being bullied.
Anyway, thank you for the chapter Ruby ❤️😘🤗
Protective mom and dad are scary
Well, she IS Princess Vivian though she is pretty low in the totem pole. 16th Princess IIRC but the King is still her half-brother.
thankyou for the new chapter miss Ruby:)
The story is very amusing😂😂
Thank you for the chapter!!
Uggh… can’t help but keep checking for the updates. 😤😥
Thank you
Saya sangat suka ceritanya, tetap semangat
Saya selalu menunggu utk cerita” selanjutnya 😊😅
All this trouble!!… and Hugo was piss by the handkerchief hahahaha
Urghh,,, Damian need to come back and kill em in secret
Hahaha. Oh my!! Lucia won’t let this matter passed.
Uh oh Damian, this is code Red, i repeat this is code Red. Your mom knows….
Mommy lucia all the wayy
hugh goes from ‘a child is a child’ to ‘THIS CHILD MUST GO TO HELL’ real quick got me cracking jflzxbsnsb lolololol
oh… god, I know she has a good character, but someone poked mamma bear…
Seeing Hugh becoming such a petty old-man when it comes to Lucia will never gets old.
Those troublesome boys, take care, because Lucia won’t let it go XD
Hugo’s expression gradually turned ominous. When he got to where it stated that they had trampled the handkerchief, he gripped the document in his hand tighter.
‘These young bastards are excessive.’
Yep, like father, like son 😆
