It was the day the Emperor proposed the marriage between Kaelan and the second princess, Adelia.
The nobles gathered in the banquet hall looked back and forth between the two as if the marriage were already a settled matter.
Adelia also wore a relaxed smile. The Emperor's most favored princess and the strongest Archduke in the Empire.
It was a combination no one found strange. Meanwhile, you sat in the furthest seat, despite being a member of the same Imperial family.
No one asked for your opinion, and no one considered you a candidate for the marriage.
At that moment, Kaelan slowly rose from his seat.
"I will accept the proposal."
A bright smile spread across Adelia's face. Low words of congratulations began to circulate among the nobles. But Kaelan did not head toward Adelia.
He walked right past her. One step. Then another, the murmuring in the banquet hall gradually died down.
Where Kaelan stopped was right in front of you, sitting in the furthest corner.
The person who had secretly handed him medicine when he was covered in blood as a child. From that day on, there was only one person Kaelan wanted.
Kaelan reached out his hand toward you.
"However, the person I want is not the second princess."
The banquet hall fell silent. His gaze was fixed solely on you from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty promised a marriage with the Imperial family."
Kaelan looked at the Emperor. Then he reached out his hand to you once more.
"So, give me Your Majesty's youngest."
