Bambi And The Duke Novel

Disowned as a human, Vivian was adopted as a maid at seven by the esteemed Carmichael family in Bonelake. As a servant to this elite pureblood household, strict rules governed her life, and she was frequently reminded of their importance. However, before Vivian could master the art of invisibility common to the other maids, the Duke's young son summons her, calling her "Bambi." This interaction triggers unforeseen chaos. Later, a bruised Leonard dismisses Vivian's concern about his injuries. She attempts a comforting gesture, recalling her mother's remedy of blowing warm air on a bruise, a gesture that embarrasses Leonard. He protests, "I'm not a child!" Vivian, however, observes him with a clear gaze, assuring him he's not. Leonard, momentarily surprised by her honesty, dismisses his injuries as temporary and returns to his studies, deeming Vivian an "odd girl" as he immerses himself in a book.
