All of Seth's life he had been reminded consistently that he was an illegitimate spawn.
Especially since his father was such a prestigious figure. Even though his father never distinguished, treating him the same, giving him the same privilege, the same attention — some might argue even more — the remaining family members weren't the same.
He had lost count of the numerous times his uncles and aunties had called him aside for advice, all saying the same thing:
Be content with what you have, never overreach.
Do not compete with your siblings, you are not of the same status.
He had heard similar advice over and over again. It had been ingrained into him.
Which was why during his entire stay at Avalon Academy, he had constantly tried so hard not to stand out…
He never tried hard at anything, never giving it his all.
He strolled through his life leisurely and laid back, hardly putting any effort into anything.
