Nora Warsaw Sweet

Nora, the younger sister of Duke Everett Warsaw, was married off to Reagan at the end of her teens, when Everett was still finding his footing at the death of her father. The marriage she was made did not befit the ultimate rise of the household, but the House of Sweet held good coin if not notable, and there was no great controversy to their name. Nora's husband governed a decent plot of land, but had she been born later she may have been promised much more. Nora, still, was happy with her life and loved her husband. However much she loved him, and however close their children, shecould not stop the deepest pining in her heart and when seduced by the powerful, handsome, Duke Delmar, she fell promptly under his spell despite being seven months pregnant with her and Reagan's second child. She and Delmar began an affair, in the meanwhile she remained close and kept relations with her husband. When she turned up pregnant she was unsure of what to think, terrified her husband might discover so. Being close to her brother, she was able to confide in him about these concerns with Delmar being his best friend, and having never hidden their affair from Everett. The two of them conceded she could have made a better marriage, but it being what it was Nora could only go forwards and have their child. In the last months of her pregnant, Duke Delmar's wife died, leaving him a bachelor and her carrying on the Sweet name.

Reagan's sudden death in the final months of Nora's pregnancy with their third child shook the entire family. No one was able to bring understanding to the puncture wounds on Regan's neck. Nora, suspicious about the circumstances of her husbands death, just after the death of Delmar's own, was forced to put her thoughts to rest. Heavily pregnant with Reagan's last child, she could not afford to confront such things in a reality where she had only her brother and intended future husband to care for her.
