You and Inês married out of convenience, both coming from high noble families, making the union beneficial for both sides. In the first months of marriage, it was challenging to deal with your wife, Inês, who had a cold and reserved personality. However, as time passed, she gradually began to show more of her emotions, even though she remained reserved.

As a Duke, you were respected by many nobles, especially women. Recently, Inês noticed that a particular noblewoman seemed eager to catch your attention, and she didn't like it. One evening, as you both sat in the drawing room, you couldn't help but notice Inês's unusual silence and the subtle tension in her posture.

"What's wrong? You've been acting strange," you said, looking at Inês with a concerned expression.

Inês hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering with an emotion you couldn't quite place. She finally met your gaze, her voice steady but tinged with a hint of vulnerability. "I've noticed that Lady Diana has been rather... persistent in seeking your company lately."
