Jilted By Sigismund

Life, Relationship change

Wedding arrangements were well in hand and the dowry had been settled. Sali's Father had pledged loyalty to the Graf von Jungfreud and rings had been exchanged.   But happiness is often fleeting and within months the rivalry between House Jungfreud and House Wallenstien over trade tariffs along the River Teufel was to flair into open hostility and desperate for money and troops Graf Sigismund von Jungfreud felt compelled to cancel his sons wedding to the relatively impoverished Drackenburg girl and accept a much more lucrative offer from Graf Zenechar Trott von Tahme.   In return for marrying his daughter Greta to Sigismund, the Graf promised the Jungfreuds both money and troops for their expected war with the Wallensteins and Sali suddenly found herself both jilted and pregnant.
