Chapter 42: She Should Be By My Side

By the time they reached Selve, Oriana was already on Azures Island. 

The territory lord, Duke Maxil Selve himself, welcomed the Crown Prince at the entrance of the city along with his guards. A messenger from the royal palace had been sent towards Selve more than a week ago, thus, the Duke had ample time to prepare to receive Arlan in his residence. 

Unlike the House of Wimark, the estate of the House of Selve was within the port city itself. 

The main mansion and the side buildings were made of white marble with hints of gold, the architecture strongly resembling the Royal Palace of Griven, albeit the scale was considerably smaller and less luxurious than the one found in the capital of Karlin. This was because several generations ago, the Queen of Griven came from the House of Selve and she remodeled the Selve Manor after she retired from politics.
