I had always had a clear understanding of myself. I was not a sentimental person. I might even be considered a fickle man.
Maybe my mother was right.
It was determined by heredity.
Or perhaps I was already used to maintaining my calmness in the midst of intrigues.
The Tenny family had such a huge business to tend to.
Ever since I was twelve, I had been exposed to the business and was always one step ahead of others. I spent a lot of time studying, which made me look particularly weak in other aspects.
Only self-willed words and an aloof attitude could conceal the fact that I wasn't proficient in anything else.
