Yeah he gets introduced back in chapter 26 of the novel his name is Claude he appears in the very first chapter lol(read some of the mtl last year). He wanted to marry her when the scandal and rumors said she was a hussy cuz he really loved her but his father refused to send the marriage :( and sent him away. Opal father also married her off to Hubert pretty fast too...so he lost his chance fast :(. Claude is muuuuch better than crummy Hubert.
LOL Hot Wheels Stella just said, "I don't need your charity!" while all this time she's been using the dumbass duke for his pity and charity xD.
