Moving Forward

It was like all of the things that she thought were truths had just been lies she told herself. Nothing in her life had prepared her for what Leyla said.

Nobles didn't marry for love. It was only natural that she were to marry someone who would bring her family the best political leverage, money, or other benefit. It was only a bonus if they were agreeable.

Or maybe this is what caused her to have a strange mindset towards her friend. She had been under the assumption that she would have to marry a nobleman to achieve her objectives.

Hans was a legitimate Viscount in the eyes of the nobility now. It was not like she could take her revenge by taking his life, no matter how satisfying that end would be.

What he did to her was technically a legal gray area. Women couldn't inherit, so he didn't take the title from her. Eva had not earned any merits before her father had died so she would not have received the title anyways.
