Duke Thompson's Residence
"This news—is it true?" Duke Thompson asked. He could not believe that, just four days after disowning his daughter Anastasia, she had married Ernest.
"My lord, it is true. Even the wedding was acknowledged by His Majesty. Gifts were sent from the palace to General Ernest's residence yesterday, and today many nobles have also sent theirs," Mamod replied with a small sigh.
Duke Thompson took a deep breath. He had decided to disown Anastasia and was praised for it. He never expected that everything would change in just three days. He had lost the chance of becoming the father-in-law to a general.
In the entire kingdom, everyone knew that the king relied heavily on Ernest's strategies and skill to maintain the throne. Even his father-in-law, General Robert, saw Ernest as a threat to his position in court.
