The blonde Duchess giggled as she shook her head. ''He has caused all sorts of trouble with his bragging. In the Everrose family, we prefer to handle our issues rather than involve outsiders. We've been taught to consider both sides of the story before judging.''
'It makes sense. But it's no bother now, as the boy will leave Kestria alone, and no one can scold me for it,' he thought to himself.
When Archer heard her answer, he understood what she meant and nodded before asking. ''Aren't you married? Where is your husband?''
Fianna answered as she looked out the window and answered with a sad smile. ''I am married to the Duke, but my husband ignores me and the Duchy by spending much time with his mistresses. The marriage was good for the first few years, but after, I couldn't bear any more offspring, so he shunned me. I've been meaning to end the marriage in the capital, but he has powerful friends who will make my life hard if I do that.''
