@thefabulouspotato I think it's his dad that's a duke. Him being a baron is probably temporary (in his eyes), it could be it's more inherit by merit than inherit via blood society as baron Appal and duke Agentine are of same status according to to baron Appal
You go girl! You spent need no man! You're a strong independent woman. Just set the guy up with your cousin an be on your way. Let them deal with their love by themselves
Many thanks
I'm glad she woke up to reality and decided not to cling to a fruitless love. I've known people irl that despite knowing their SO cheating on them they'd still 'forgive' them and try to 'keep their relationship alive'. It's frustrating..
