"Did you find out why my niece is kept in the tower?" Matida grumbled at her assistant Trevor.
She is the eldest granddaughter of Jonathan Erling and her father was the eldest son and the second child of Jonathan Erling. But her grandfather never loved her because she is the grandchild of the woman he hated. Apparently, the Grandsire's father forced him to marry Matilda's grandmother after the death of the "love of his life".
How is that her fault in any way?
She watched her grandmother die filled with regrets because she couldn't compete with a dead Aniko Corvin.
Her grandmother told her how she strived hard to get a little place in her husband's heart but no, all she got was dismissal and how devastated she was as she watched her husband siring children with other women all her life.
She ended her life, and even her death was covered up as a heart attack to maintain the reputation of the Grandsire.
