...
The current head of the Colan family is Forth Colan, an octogenarian marquis.
The old Marquis de Colin had only one son, Charles Colin.
Charles Coran married into the Marquisate of Nice, and in the first year of their marriage, he gave birth to their heir, Arman Coran.
Unfortunately, the Marquis of Nice's family was the original owner's family; to be precise, it was the original owner's aunt who married into the family, and Arman Colan was the original owner's cousin.

Conrad pushed open the door and placed a thick stack of parchment covered with writing in front of her.
