The mother of the northern Duchess was an ordinary woman who came from the south.
Back in those days, several decades ago, relations between the northern and southern regions were much more tense than they are now. And then, in order to take the first step towards establishing friendly relations between the two most powerful regions of the empire, it was decided to conclude a political marriage. And the candidates for this «deal» were the northern Duke Rottem de Loon and the eldest daughter of a powerful noble family from the south.
Tatiana Clemence, who came from a noble family of the count, humbly accepted this as a duty as the eldest daughter of her parents and dutifully went north to meet the expectations of her family and the entire state.
By nature, the girl was modest and quiet, and had never been away from home before. Therefore, this marriage of convenience on the other side of the empire and with a strange man really became a real test for her.
