Chapter 318 - Meaningless (1/2)
Lethia says nothing but snapped her fingers. A familiar man with dark blue hair wearing black military western clothes appeared. He brought out a few doc.u.ments and passed it to the Princess. ”I have a proposition that involves us two getting what we want.”
Allen sighed, ”How did you find out?”
”Oh, please. It was obvious how fond you were of Lyn since you didn't pick me as your marriage partner.”
Indeed, his brother provided him a choice.
”I do want Lyn, that much is true. However, to team up with a woman who only wants to harm her is something I cannot do.”
”Prince Allen, do you really want Kazuya to take Lyn away?”
”Lyn is nobody's possession,” Allen argued. His gaze darkened. ”Enough, I shall speak no more on this matter if you insist on getting your way. I shall resort to speaking to your Mother about this.”
Lethia's eyes widened, alarmed, ”You wouldn't dare.”
..
As a member of the Wind Kingdom's current royal family, he had his duties in other lands. Such as visiting the vassals underneath their family, acting as negotiators, and living in other lands. The family he is visiting now is the Sanderson family. He received disturbing news that the head passed away, and now… His gaze flickered onto the woman who had been holding back her tears until he told her it was okay.
Sada thanked him and whimpered for a few minutes before she slowly regained her composure. In a firm voice, she declared her intentions, and Allen said he would support her.
”You were right; what you said back then. Had I heeded your advice before then, none of this would have happened before.”
Allen pitied the girl, she was the same age as Lyn, and already she has to take charge of her household.
A long time ago, he told her to pick her friends and enemies wisely. But like the girl's mother, Sada still believed in peace. She believed that one day, the Empire would fall under a single rule, and everybody would work in harmony. But Allen knew that those values are outdated, otherwise by now they would have an Empress. It is only because people are unwilling to accept change and wish to carry on keeping power for themselves that things are like this now.
”But… if you are anything like your mother, you will be alright.”
Even though the girl's mother believed in peace, she was an excellent woman, a good ruler. He complimented her strategies on numerous cases before. A woman who believed in peace, and yet could still keep her people in line. For Allen, that was a sign of a strong woman. Many people complimented Queen Orthez for being the best ruler. But there are those like lady Hira that would be a better candidate for Empress. In fact, Allen was planning to persuade her the next time he met her. Who would have thought that things would end up this way?
If Sada could keep up this standard that her Mother had passed on, then he would support her fully without any hesitation. Regardless he would do his best to support her, even if she wasn't a hassle.
