the girl I have no complaints since she's mentally a child (due to her being isolated for 18 yrs with no one besides the count to talk to) BUT KALISTO????? The kalistos are supposed to have power that rivals the imperial family and no one - not even the duke, dared question when they took the girl away? The ceremony is sketchy af - they all knew this, and they "requested" instead of demanding. This would have made sense if the imperial family is more powerful than the kalistos.
