Headcanon that Derrick is the son from the Duke's first wife that he married out of duty and Reynold and Ivonne are the children that the Duke had with his second wife that he married out of love. I imagine that the Duke married below his station when he chose to court Ivonne's mother shortly after the former duchess had passed away. Compared to the Duke's first wife who was a stern but elegant and dignified lady, his second wife was a lively thing who always sought new forms of dispersion and spend enormous sums of money on her wardrobe and entertainment.

#Reynold and Ivonne are like that because they were spoiled as kids #Reynold is a bit of a brat while Ivonne is spoiled sweet and out of touch with the reality #it's also where her compassion for commoners comes from that helped her form a friendly bond with the servants #and Derrick well...the root of incestuous brothers usually lies in mommy issues #his father didn't mourn his first wife long enough and Derrick felt like his stepmother was squandering his mother's inheritence #his distaste for her didn't carry over to Ivonne because her mother died in childbirth and it made her something pitiful in his eyes #he made sure she would turn out very differently from his stepmother #the death of Ivonne's mother made his father rely on him again he liked that #nonetheless his cordial dislike for those of lower classes only continued to grow #when his mother's servants clashed with his stepmother's servants #and his father was too depressed to notice there had started a power struggle inside his house #vadd #villains are destined to die #death is the only ending for a villainess #ditoeftv #derrick eckart #headcanons
