Fairness

It was not only Leonard who was stunned by Duke Balzac insulting words, but the act of driving out the guest like shooing a stray dog had also shocked the three young lords to their cores. All this time, they had always known that their father was the epitome of gentleman who preferred less talking and more action.

And even if he decided to speak, he would maintain a reserved attitude, preserving the courtesy between two people. As a noble, their father had always reminded them of their manner.

"If you are a noble, then act like one," he would quote whenever their temper flared. Being young made them rather impulsive often times and unbecoming words might escape their mouths every now and then.
