Alexander's grand offer for a marriage alliance made Lady Miranda pause for a long while, as she weighed the pros and cons in her head.

In terms of pros- well Alexander had listed it all. 

Lady Miranda would be able to access much more of his resources and it would be seen as her returning the favor for the land he was giving her to rule.

As for the cons, well, it would basically mean angering Lord Janus, one of her staunchest supporters, someone who did not leave her even when the entirety of her family did.

Loyalty vs future benefits.

Needless to say, it was not an easy choice to make.

".... Who are the men you have in mind, my lord?" 

Eager to get the full picture, Lady Miranda hence asked this, warily sending Alexander a guarded gaze, "I will never be the second wife of anyone."
