On the day of the commencement ceremony, I used to be on my technique to the women’ dormitory with the standard scholar council members.

I used to be going to escort my fiancée, Rebecca.

Rebecca and I received engaged after we had been 14 years outdated, simply earlier than we entered the academy.

My older brother Ethan, who’s three years older than me and is the Crown Prince, is engaged to a princess of the Kingdom of Shium. Rebecca’s engagement to me was additionally political in nature.

Rebecca is the eldest daughter of the household of Marquis Howard, who’ve been loyal to the nation since its founding.

The Howard household has produced queens many occasions over its lengthy historical past. Along with political marriages, they’ve additionally had many passionate love tales with princes and princesses.

Regardless of being some of the prestigious aristocracies within the nation, or maybe due to it, they appear to have little curiosity in energy struggles at court docket and have a tendency to keep away from holding essential positions within the nation.

The present head of the household, Marquis Howard, can also be a member of the diplomatic workers, however principally stays within the nation to handle his property.

It was a widely known incontrovertible fact that the Howard household had a princess, however not like different aristocrats, the Marquis of Howard didn’t come to promote his daughter as a technique to please the royal household.

Subsequently, when it was found that the “little one” that Marquis Howard ceaselessly took to numerous international locations was not his son David, however Rebecca, and that she had steadily constructed up her diplomatic expertise and private connections, the shock was great.

Rebecca, the longer term Marquess, was recognized for her loveliness and cleverness by numerous overseas dignitaries (that is additionally unhappy).

After that, my father and mom, who exchanged phrases with Rebecca in particular person, appreciated her very a lot and had been wanting to have her as my spouse! I checked out her bleakly.

Nevertheless, Marquis Howard was not so eager. It’s well-known that he loves his daughter very a lot, and there may be even a rumor that he even mentioned, “If I marry her off to the royal household, I will not be capable to see her typically.”
