Upon knowing about Lady Miranda's marriage, Alexander was indeed at first a bit offended that he was sidelined like that.
A marriage with Lady Miranda would have been really useful.
But it seems that the lady had other plans.
And since she had made her choice, Alexander felt there was no reason to harp about it anymore.
So he instead chose to concentrate on other matters.
And frankly, there were a lot of matters that required his attention.
For instance, expanding his workshops.
Given his products had two years to exist and expand, Alexander's unique delicacies had exploded in popularity with his customers, their hunger for every one of those turning ravenous by now.
But unfortunately, his supply had been unable to keep up with even a tenth of the demand, with outputs for some even falling following Tibias's attack.
All of which ultimately resulted in a huge price increase.
