"IS he a soldier under General Lancaster's army?" Emmy thought of asking, referring to the second son of the patriarch of the Lancaster family. She was still looking at the direction of Gage Thompson.
The patriarch of the Lancaster family had five children with his now deceased wife. Quite a number in comparison to other families. At most, three would be the limit. Just like their family.
The patriarch's eldest son was now the duke, the second son was a military general. Both married people from influential families. The first daughter was married to a famous hero of the Empire while the second daughter was married to another powerful noble family. And now, the youngest would be engaged to the daughter of another ducal household.
Seriously, it's like they're spreading power all over the Empire using the guise of marriage. If the current Emperor didn't love the deceased Empress so much, a Lancaster would have probably sat on that Empress seat.
