Ixion, being as young and limited as she was, knew little about her world. She was like a bird trapped in a cage. The psychological cage, restricted her from even trying to free herself and the physical restraints achieved the same results.
But even then, she knew the basics, the main reason why everyone in her family seemed hostile to her.
Her family wasn't any regular family, though Ixion really didn't know what a regular family implied, but she knew her family was supposed to be very important.
An 'heir' was said to be the sole inheritor of their respective bloodline from generation to generation of the six founding families. Each heir would join with the others and become the six pillars of their kingdom.
Her father, the Duke, the Heir of corruption of his generation, failed to produce an heir. His first five children did not possess the characteristics unique to the heir of corruption. They didn't have the black hair and black eyes needed to be recognized as the heir.
