the blondie is his half-brother, the lady of the house and Ian's father are the biological parents of blondie while Ian is the child of a mistress
They are cousin. In chapter 65 page 2, the duke think that it's not nice for him to make Ian his cousin do such a work (undercover detective).
But they said they were maternal cousins.
Ian said he was the child of a mistress, so how could he look so similar to to the son of his adoptive(?) mother's cousin if they arent related at all?
Yeah i also confused there. Maybe mistress mother is actually related to his highness mother. But why such a noble become mistress.... I think Ian is also related to king more closely than we think and there is sleep on them (Ian and highness) so that no one realize similarity
Btw, did anyone notice that he’s the illegitimate son of duke… with someone related to the next in line for the throne on his mother side ? That’s certainly not an « ordinary maid »’s son…
Is this blonde duke guy his brother or something? I know the dukes mom and Ian's step mom are close but I don't get how he and the duke are related. And Kate is always talking about how the two men look alike
