A Marriage Deal (Part-2)

There were only a few moments in life when Alexander found himself to be stunned.

And after listening to Lady Miranda's story, he felt this was one of those times. 

"Your grandfather… gave Lord Janus two fiefs?" Even Alexander could not be that luxurious with his land division.

"However about two years ago, Brother John… ahhh… I guess it's Lord John hahaha… suddenly married an unknown commoner out of the blue, breaking off his marriage engagement with Adele!"
