- The original Duke had two sons. His eldest son is currently called Lord Marian (previously known as "Marquis Tuania" so if you hear that name that's who they're talking about.) And the youngest son René who is apparently now Duke Tuania.
- Lady Nian (who is now the CURRENT Duchess Tuania) was the younger son René's fiancee.
- The eldest son (Lord Marian/Marquis Tuania) fell in love with his younger brother (René)'s fiancee. He chases after her but apparently to no avail.
- Lady Nian ends up marrying Duke Tuania/René and becomes Duchess Tuania.
- Heartbroken Lord Marian gives up all his inheritance and joins the church, and a week later he is found dead (supposedly a suicide.)
- This becomes a huge scandal, and because of it everyone calls Duchess Tuania a Femme Fatale. She is heavily burdened by the death and the rumors, but takes it like a champ.
Confused yet? WAIT! There's more!
- Duchess Tuania gives birth 7 months after marrying the Duke (René). She claims the baby was just born premature, others insinuate that it looks a looooot like the deceased elder brother Lord Marian...
- Ever since then, Duke Tuania (René) has been miserably skulking about, doubting his wife.
- Everybody's favorite TRASHTA finds out this info from Roteschu, such juicy gossip could totally distract society from her. So she pays to have people at the church mention how they saw a "Beautiful woman" visiting Lord Marian a couple times at the church before he killed himself and to remind people of his death. What a peach that Trashta is.
