Bertrand Beaumont
Bertrand is Barthelemy's older son. According to Drake Walker, Barthelemy was used to winning, and instilled the sense of pride, duty, and reputation mostly to his heir, Bertrand. It made Drake feel almost-sorry for what Bertrand went through.

In The Royal Heir, Book 2, Chapter 14, Bertrand says that he successfully handed over management of Ramsford's finances to Barthelemy.

Savannah becomes Barthelemy's daughter-in-law in The Royal Heir, Book 1, Chapter 12.

Your Character
No matter whether you become his daughter-in-law by marrying Maxwell, Duchess of Valtoria, and/or Queen of Cordonia, he prides himself on the fact that his sons sponsored you and that you've proven yourself. If you do not choose to welcome him with open arms, he is taken aback. In Chapter 14, after you and your spouse make an announcement of your pregnancy to the press in Cordonia, he makes his appearance to the surprise of the reporters and takes their attention away from you.

If Maxwell is your spouse, in Chapter 16, he offers you the chance to purchase a premium mobile for your nursery.
