"Who is she?" A low growl, showing how much she was trying to restrain herself in front of knights and other guests who were yet to leave.
"A native of the Sonarise empire. She had accompanied the empress here. She would be given the title of marquees but…" he gulped again when his eyes met his wife, "not in our empire. She would be marquees of the Sonarise empire and.. I heard that she would inherit a coal mine."
Her jaws clenched. Coal mine! Coal was only used in forge for warming the water. Though it was an essential commodity all over the empire. It was not as expensive as diamonds or gems. At least a marquees should have a diamond mine or gold mine at least!
The man shrugged. That was the only thing he knew about his daughter in law. Except one more thing, his son was smitten by her.
But.. he did not dare inform his wife. He stayed silent when she grumbled about the fake promise and trap.
As the guests left, her anger had already accumulated.
