A cold laugh escapes the woman who spent four years raising the duke’s child from his mistress. The arrogant man returns to humiliate her publicly, declaring she is only fit to be his mistress. She signals her attendants to escort the boy into the carriage and turns away. He remains unaware that on the day he forced her to swear before his iron gauntlet, she turned around and married the most powerful man in the entire kingdom. The king now stands behind her.
