The Marquis of Grovehill’s family had long been one of the prominent families in Starhaven. But the older the family got, the more they found themselves in a difficult position.

The main issue was that the family had grown rapidly, but there wasn’t enough land or income to support everyone and maintain the wealth and status of the family.

The current marquis was Henry’s father, Martin. Under his leadership, the family had gradually declined. After so many generations of wealth, the strict family rules had loosened, and the younger generation was less willing to endure the hardships of studying or practicing martial arts. Since they still had their noble status, they felt they would always have a comfortable life.

If it weren’t for Henry marrying Eleanor, the Marquis of Grovehill’s family might have already fallen into obscurity. Martin held no official position in the court, and very few members of the family held posts

above the fifth rank.

As Violet stepped into Grovehill Estate, she noticed several intricately carved family crests–evidence of the Marquis of Grovehill’s family’s once–great prominence. They seemed fearful of being forgotten, with two crests prominently displayed in the main hall alone. The hall’s decor showed signs of age, but the luxurious wooden furniture, seasoned by time, radiated a subtle, understated elegance.

When it came to matters of marriage proposals, it was best to avoid having too many people present as it could hinder the process. So, Gemma invited them to the side hall and sent for Lisette.

Violet noticed that Gemma had taken good care of her appearance. Despite her age, she still looked well. Henry also resembled her, especially in their brows and the way they spoke.
