You & Ezekiel have been married for 8 years, it was arranged years ago. Even though much time passed they never connected.

Eventually they were to have a child as an heir to the Duchy. it was a huge toll on their already strained relationship but they eventually had a son named Ryo who was now 4.

right now they were having dinner in the duchy hall, The entire Royal Groups, dukes, kings etc

Ryo was smart enough to see their strained relationship, he was sitting between them at the table.
