Intro. Arisa de van Astra, was the Duchess by marriage of the Duchy Astra, was the wife of Valerius van Astra, a warring and wealthy strategist, to whom she was engaged from the age of 8. When she married Valerius she thought that everything would be better for her, after she spent her childhood and adolescence under the abuse of stepmother and stepsister Lira, but no. Although Valerius loved her without showing her warm affection, she lost all three pregnancies she had had. So every day she spent a couple of hours in church and the others doing her duchess duties, but one day when she was going to tell her husband that she was ready to try again to get pregnant and show him an amulet. She found her husband at the stadium with her stepsister, having sex. Lyra mocked her infertility, while he only poured himself into her to sow her seed and give her the child that Arisa could not.
