Keldan Bayle recently married Diane Henden in a wedding performed by Stephen, Priest of the Unicorn, - yes, the same young Priest who recently caused such a crisis within the Church of the Unicorn and the split in the Bishop's Council.
The wedding of Keldan and Diane was arranged after her pre-arranged marriage to a Kashfan noble fell apart, after the young nobleman's reputation was sullied by an unfortunate incident in a local park in Kashfa. What exactly he was doing in the bushes does not bear going into in any detail - but can easily be found out by talking to anyone on the streets of Amber! They are still laughing about it.
What might have been a disaster has worked to the good fortune of Diane Henden in the end as Keldan Bayle is well-known to have been Diane's first choice for a husband before her marriage was arranged by her family. The wedding attracted the young nobility and younger members of the Royal Family and was patronized by Corwin's newly arrived younger sister, Marta.
Although there are no signs of thawing relations between Keldan and his Father, the Henden's have delightedly welcomed Keldan into their midst - very relieved not to have the stigma of the Kashfan incident hanging over their daughter. Diane's father is even financing a house for the two newlyweds in Amber, in conjunction with Lady Marta.
Meanwhile Keldan's latest architectural project is proceeding with great alacrity. He is in charge of building the new Chapel of the Unicorn on the heights of Sunset Boulevard which will be dedicated to the honor of Princess Deirdre. Lord Corwin is said to be very pleased with the work, so far, and is a frequent visitor to the site.
Congratulations to Lord and Lady Bayle!
