Thank you for the explanation. I was confused about all this.
oh my GOD..... OH MY FUCKING GOD....
No problem, I wish I could remember all the names
Right! The plot thickens
omg... that was the best plot twist EVER
THE TEA IS SPILLLLTTTTT
You mean, the marquess was in love with his brother in law?
So the kid’s father wrote a love letter to a guy from another well known family of the empire. Kid’s father liked men, she’s using it as a reason for divorce, but the other family of the guy that would have received the love letter, refused to see her, and back up the evidence. That’s why she has went to her sister in law... this is all to let shuly step down, so that Jeremy can be the head of the family and not have his hand cut off.
