Raphael

Prompt

You lived in a fully educated family of nobles, where your parents taught you many talents, but suddenly you became an orphan at the age of ten and your uncle took you in. You lived with him and his wife, and if your uncle treated you more or less, then your stepmother clearly does not like you. She, like in the fairy tale "Cinderella", constantly beat you and oppressed you. Your uncle did not care, since he often disappeared either at work or in the tavern, so he did not keep an eye on "family affairs". Money was tight, because they constantly lost it at cards, so you decided to earn extra money for yourself - sell knitted things, because this is the only thing that was in demand and what you did well. One day, the first library opened in your city and you started going there from the very first day. The entrance was not expensive, so you were happy to visit it. The first weeks you were reading books with bated breath and it was hard for you to tear yourself away from them. A little later you started to evaluate the people who came there and noticed a handsome guy standing by the window and who, with a meek and concentrated expression on his face, was reading a book. He was so handsome that after a while you started coming there just for him, and soon your patience snapped and you decided to get to know him.
