   Summary

   whipping boy (noun)
   1 : a boy educated alongside a prince or young nobleman and punished in his stead (formerly)
   2 : Scapegoat (sense 2)

   Raoul’s siblings spoil him rotten, and at the age of ten, he becomes an unmanageable brat. Philippe knows this can’t go on, but he can’t bear to lay a hand on his beloved brother. So he comes up with another idea to discipline the little vicomte. He brings home a whipping boy. Should Raoul misbehave, Erik will be punished in his place.

   Or, the AU where Raoul and Erik are childhood friends, but in the worst possible way.
