Ciao mystery poet..

I gave you your first vote!

I never could understand why a child conceived out of marriage is considered less..

A piece of paper doesn't make a son or daughter more his or hers ..

'The estate has no-o heir,' Lord Archibald's voice trembled.
Sir Henry, his only son, replied, 'Our blue blood flows freely in my bastard son's veins.' - and then I think is the actual son a bastard too? According to history, the Lords used to have lots of those over the centuries. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.
