After the death of his older brother, Kevin married his brother’s widow, Catherine, who was pregnant with his brother’s child, and became the heir to the count’s family.
However, Kevin’s father, who had doted on his late son, announced that once his grandson (Kevin’s stepchild) was born, he would bypass Kevin and make the child the heir. Kevin had no objection to the child inheriting, but Catherine, now his wife, even refused to share intimacy with him.
Having quit being a knight to return home, Kevin found himself treated as a nuisance by both his parents and his wife, so he began to satisfy his desires outside the home.
One day, he was seen meeting with the widow Michurie by Julia, a former classmate. Learning about her situation, he let her stay in his room. Julia became Kevin’s lover, and soon, people around them began to suggest that the nominal wife, Catherine, should consider divorce.
This is the story of that tangled relationship.
