Kindle Notes & Highlights
Tav wouldn’t know. He’d never met his bio dad and had never sought him out either—he’d never cared to meet the type of man who’d impregnate a refugee who’d lost everything, then abandon her and their child.
Illegitimate son can't be a duke. This is why you need to keep making up countries
She had spent the first two days designing beautiful, mentally ergonomic spreadsheets for the database . . . and then the last three slowly transferring the data, which was her own personal hell. She would have been done, but there was always something to look up for the website, or a sword design schematic she wondered about, or a neighborhood history question . . .
That would be the ADHD
She ignored the way her breath caught and reminded herself that gruff was a synonym for “acts like an asshole because other people enable him.”

“Aye. Just a warning, love—the non-fic dukes are not nearly as fun.”

With the passing of Douglas McGuinness Dudgeon, his son Douglas Tavish McGuinness Dudgeon has inherited the title of Royal Duke of Edinburgh.
That's not how a 'royal' dukedom works. A royal duke is a prince who has been granted a dukedom. His son, also technically a prince, becomes duke on his death. Duke II's son is NOT a prince (assuming Dukes I & II are not King at any point), and will simply be Duke of Whatever upon his assumption of the title, like any other Duke. Also, The Duke of Edinburgh was until quite recently Prince Phillip, aka the Queen's husband. The title is now held by Prince Edward and sure as hell never would have gone to an illegitimate son as it's very clear that titles can only be handed down via legitimate heirs. Kings have very occasionally managed to make exceptions, but not usually even if they have dozens of illegitimate sons but no legitimate heirs

He can get in all the papers with all the historical weight a title like ‘Royal Duke’ holds.
There is literay no such title in the peerage of the uk
Her face went hot with anger as she realized someone had drugged her
No shit. I don't know why that wasn't the obvious conclusion to everyine when you went from fine to unconscious in the course of one drink
