No. I think MC's father was from a ducal house. It said there's two imperial princes, evil second IP and third ip was the one who wanted the marriage contract. Hilde's father was a duke and her mother was from the fallen noble house. So Hilde and Caleb have no blood relationship whatsoever.
OK, that makes A LOT MORE sense. Thanks!
No problem!
From the premise of the chapter, I get that MC's father is the an imperial prince of Elesbaine, and he married a lady from a fallen noble family. Zev wanted this lady (MC's mother) for himself, which forced the lady to seek a marriage contract for MC with someone else so creepy Third Prince uncle can't tap her daughter.
Caleb is also an imperial prince, but it's not clearly stated whether he's the brother of the in-line Imperial princes, or if he's the son of one of the brothers, which also makes him an Imperial prince, but for the next generation (after MC's parents' generation). Doesn't this make MC and Caleb cousins? Or uncle and niece??
Omg, this seems to be getting darker with each chapter...help!!
