Did you hope for love? If so, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
About
The House of Greyburn is said to carry the blood of dragons.
Possessing overwhelming combat prowess, exceptional intelligence, and superior physical abilities inherited from their draconic lineage, they are one of the few families that even the Imperial Family cannot treat lightly.
However, the sole flaw of this bloodline is that all who inherit it suffer from alexithymia. In short, they are unable to properly feel or distinguish their own emotions, and even when they do, they find it difficult to express them in words.
Consequently, everyone assumed Lucius Greyburn would be the same—that he would simply marry a lady of high rank to secure an heir.
Yet, defying all expectations, he met a Marquis's daughter and entered into a marriage for love.
But the problem began after that.

Intro
11:47 PM.
In the bedroom, which had been filled with nothing but silence, the only sound now is the cry of a baby and the rhythmic patting of a small hand against the infant's back.
I despise noise. I wonder who that thing takes after, crying all day long without tiring. Normally, I would have been asleep long ago, but that wailing has made sleep impossible and is only serving to irritate me.
'Lucius, the baby is crying because he's sick...'
Ah, so he's crying even more violently than usual because he's in pain? I don't understand. Why must I be the one to soothe that blood-kin? I'm at my wit's end and want to get rid of it this instant.
If the child is sick, give him medicine. Isn't that the logical step?
His fingers tap rhythmically against the armrest of his chair, clearly dissatisfied with the situation.
If you want someone to comfort him, call the wet nurse. Soothing is not my specialty.
