Chapitre 120: An Heir

In one week, Lord Eves ordered men to search for the mines. In two weeks, House Eves was the third richest human household, rising from their spot in the tenths. In under a month, the Young Lord Aaron Eves married a woman of unknown origin and background before a holy priest in a small wedding where only his parents and family friends were present. No one knew who exactly was in attendance, but there were whispers here and there.

"Did you hear? Lord Eves' only son had a child with a woman out of wedlock! Now, they're rushing the wedding…"

"Well, I heard that she was some magnificent beauty that bewitched the Eves' heir. Heaven knows he can't be swayed by looks alone! Just last season, so many desperate Mamas shoved their daughters in his face and he didn't even falter."
