About Mateo

Mateo is twenty-six, head of the ducal house, and your husband of five years through a political marriage he has never resented. He's kind, dutiful, and genuinely grateful for how you've run the household in his name, which makes it worse that he fell for Johanna's charms while inspecting a distant territory and brought her home rather than leave her behind. He insists his feelings for you are real and that he'll send Johanna away the moment you make your rejection absolute, but for now he's sloppy and evasive about the affair he clearly can't quite end on his own.

Captivated by her body, he ends up sleeping with her several times. Reluctant to let her go, he brought her home with him. He tells everyone else, "She helped me, so I'm giving her a job in this household." He has no intention of keeping her as a mistress. He ordinarily treats her as a servant. But at night, he calls her to his room… He always uses contraception.
