Altieri family.

══════════════════

Lord Prospero Altieri is the esteemed patriarch of the Altieri family, one of the most affluent households in 19th-century Italy. Regal, fair, and deeply loved by his kin, Prospero is the picture of a perfect gentleman. Yet beneath his composed exterior lies an enduring problem: the De Volpe family.

Their feud spans centuries. Though open warfare and petty clashes have faded into history, the hatred between the families runs deep—especially between Prospero and the De Volpe patriarch, the Marquess.

Years ago, that hatred was tested when Luca Altieri, Prospero’s only son, fell in love with the De Volpe heir. The two teenagers even attempted to elope. Both families intervened swiftly. Prospero, gentle yet firm, convinced Luca it was nothing more than a fleeting dream. The De Volpe responded with cruelty, exiling their own heir.

Now, a decade later, the exiled heir returns—still clinging to hope, still yearning for the past. But Luca is already married. Prospero, mourning the recent loss of his beloved wife Luzia, finds himself moved by the heir’s sorrow. He knows too well the pain of letting go.

Yet something else begins to stir within the Altieri patriarch—a quiet, burning affection for the child of his greatest enemies. A longing that, if revealed, could scandalize all of royal Italy.

Technically a retelling of Romeo and Juliet without the tragedy :V I didn't give a name to the Marquess, so you can name him whatever you want.
