this btch of a wife of eldest son, I don't care to even try to remember her name, and the current duke are the people, whom lived, living and are going to live on this land and will be having most of the taxes from this land. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if water will be found and dugged out it means that their land will be more profitable, because the draught problem in this land will became not so meaningfull. And they think that it's better to make MC lose face than have a watersource in the region where are the problems with the water. What kind of mush they have instead of brains? 
how I ended up here? anyway, hi. not a native English speaker (laugh at my mistakes to your heart content, you're all gorgeous anyway
)
