...Yep, still feel bad for her. She was in love first, and pursued him sincerely. And the only reason she didn't get the Duke while Erin did was because morally ambiguous magic was involved.
Dude you better re-evaluate that. Lex threatened to kill some guy for stepping on her shadow. He would burn that castle down and everyone in it for questioning his feelings for Erin, let alone dancing with her.
Can she have kids with this magic active?? Her mother didn't give birth even though F MC is definite proof of her being a fertile woman. Does the magic act as birth control as well??
