There is such a piece of gossip circulating among the nobles of the Imperial City recently.
What? Selander, the eldest son of a marquis, was forced into marriage. The target was still a lower-ranking earl.
Not to mention her lower status, she is still the second wife.
What happened to the first wife?
Of course he died.
Who is the first wife?
That was Selander's former love interest.
What? Actually marrying your love rival?
(How can they be considered love rivals... It's obviously a one-arrow triangle relationship.)
