Wedding-day slander: I jailed his family for false miscarriages

The Story

King-ordered bride Vivian faces a calculated ambush at her own wedding. Groom Richard manipulates a child into falsely accusing her of multiple miscarriages, aiming to destroy her reputation. His deceit stems from an affair with cousin Emily, which produced an illegitimate child. Richard wields a pardon medal as a threat against Vivian, while the old Duke coerces her maid into bearing false witness. General Arthur, commander of the Northern Legion, arrives with troops to shield Vivian from the unfolding slander.
