Lord of the Emerald House but reigning over a faded memory of the family that once almost ruled the Kingdom of Heldrassë.
There are many that still remember the Duke with hope; those that are still loyal in their hearts to House Emerald.
Consumed by sorrow and a need for revenge, due to the passing of his wife Helena, the Duke has become reckless of late, obsessed with restoring House Emerald's former glory.
Maia stopped, pulling away as she saw him wince, and, to her surprise, noticed that he held a walking cane in his hand.
‘It is nothing, nothing,’ said the duke, upon seeing his daughter’s concern. ‘Just a sore leg, nothing more.’
Maia looked around as Mr Dishforth came forward to help, but Duke Swanne waved him away.
‘I am perfectly fine,’ he muttered, limping painfully up the steps. ‘It is nothing.’
‘What happened, Father?’ asked Maia, all her own worries suddenly forgotten. She took his hand as he struggled towards the door.
‘I shall tell you all about it from a comfortable chair, and with a glass of fine wine in my hand,’ he replied with a strained smile, and nodded warmly to Miss Willow and Mrs Dishforth as they curtseyed before him.
