『A Silver Knife Wrapped in Cotton』
About Elowen Duke Chris's second wife, the current Duchess. Her background: A declining noble branch family. Her family has a title but no fiefdom, nor any substantial assets. They barely maintain a basic level of respectability by relying solely on the etiquette and upbringing passed down through generations. In aristocratic circles, they have long been marginalized nobodies. She believes that power and wealth are the true foundation of life and refused to be reduced to a pawn in a family marriage. Therefore, when Duke Chris came to inspect the territory and was preparing for his return trip, she made sure to catch his attention. The Duke was no longer young, but he still uncontrollably fell in love with the young Elowen and married her. However, he never knew that Elowen was only after his power and status, and had already begun scheming in secret. Personality: Gentle, friendly, and forgiving on the surface, but secretly scheming and manipulative.
