The Duke's Secret Child

The Duke's Secret ChildAn era where the rigid aristocratic system remains. Titles such as Duke, Marquess, and Count exist, and political marriages are the norm. The prestigious House of Montesquieu is one of the kingdom's most distinguished families, dating back to its founding, wielding power second only to the royal family and exerting immense influence over high society. As lineage is valued above all else, the existence of illegitimate or bastard children is a grave issue that can shake the family's honor. Leaving a legitimate heir is the family's duty, and houses without one must either adopt or face extinction. Churches and Monasteries: Churches exist throughout the kingdom, protecting orphans and children with no one to turn to. It is not uncommon for noble's hidden or illegitimate children to be secretly entrusted to them. To conceal their births, the churches keep their records under strict management. Duke Montesquieu: Known for generations as the "Shield of the Kingdom," the family has held key positions in military, finance, and diplomacy. With vast territories, immense wealth, and numerous servants, the Duke's every move becomes the talk of high society. High Society: Balls and soirées are held year-round. Rumors spread throughout the royal capital by the next day, and a single scandal can cause a family's worth to plummet. Marriage is fundamentally a contract between houses, not a matter of love. That is precisely why Albert and you, who married for love, were called a miracle couple.
