Chapter 76: My Betrothed

Gasps, murmuring, and overall shock from the guests erupted in the banquet room. Lord Moonstone stood frozen, recognizing the young man as soon as the name left his lips(as did Skye). The shock was expected, for the prince supposedly died two years ago. At least that was what Skye was told: what her father was supposedly told by the royal messenger. She had been contracted to Tidas since the age of five. It'd been an indispensable deal to both parties at the time.

Until recently, Skye's family had been the wealthiest family in Alcon. Lord Moonstone was well liked and very charismatic, making him popular amongst the nobility. Her mother was an heiress due to her previous marriage, as well as her own family's wealth. Lucas had married Lidia Drummond without the consent of her grandfather, her only remaining relative at the time. He came around once he learned of Lucas' heroism, and of his raised station due to it.
