Cry, or Better Yet, Beg

Raised as an orphan from a young age, Leila Lewellyn felt like the luckiest girl in the world when she was adopted by her uncle, Bill Lermal – the gardener of Duke Herhardt – Berg Empire. The Duke’s grand mansion, to Leila, was like paradise – the sprawling forests, the enchanting wildlife – she couldn't get enough of it. Her love for birds led her to often gaze in awe at them as she watched them transition from fledglings into graceful creatures.
Duke Herhardt, the charming young Duke of Berg, shared a similar interest in birds as well as Leila. However, their reasons couldn't be more different. He was interested in birds for the thrill of hunting them, and he was
fascinated in Leila for the purpose of making her cry irresistible.
When beautiful birds found themselves locked in golden cages, Leila – the bird herself – had a life-altering choice: a lap of luxury or a shot at freedom. What's a girl to do?"
