Vivian briefly closed her eyes and then opened them again. "It was when he married his wife, the Balka's Empress, Emily Wilhem, the daughter of the Wilhem family!"
Upon hearing this, Arthur gasped in surprise and took a moment to ponder.
He realized that the novel had never mentioned the name of Lucia's own mother, leaving him with a lack of information about Emperor Balka's wife, Emily Wilhem.
"So, Duke Wilhem and Emperor Balka could be said to be brothers in law?" Arthur looked at Vivian and asked curiously.
Vivian nodded and replied, "Exactly, but their relationship doesn't seem to be very good, especially since Emily Wilhem passed away."
She shook her head, releasing a soft sigh.
That being said, Duke Wilhem and Emperor Alex's relationship should have been amicable, but due to the incident involving Emily, their bond had turned cold.
"Can you tell me the reason behind Emily Wilhem's death?" Arthur asked curiously, his brow furrowing.
