Pretty sure she’s the adopted daughter who was mentioned in an earlier chapter. I’m willing to bet she came back to take advantage of the duke’s condition, and she’s definitely keeping him sick. She sounds really bitter that she wasn’t invited back. And if Shaila organizes leon’s funeral, that means acknowledging he’s dead. If I’m not mistaken, since leon is declared dead before the current duke, that means Blanche would be next in the order of succession, not Shaila. Because the estate was never passed down to Leon in the first place, so it can’t be passed to his widow. Regardless, if she keeps the current duke sick and is already meddling in his affairs, she’s basically taking over. I wouldn’t be surprised if she put something in place to keep Shaila away after the funeral, just in case. Since Shaila is just a kid, she wouldn’t really be able to defend herself.
That blanche.. It’s not what I’m thinking ryt?
