Ave, who was taken aback by his words, stared at him in disbelief. "You can't change your mind about marrying Madeline; she's the only way you can get the throne," she muttered, almost in a trance as she couldn't believe he would do that just because she didn't like the woman. Though Ave indeed didn't like Madline, she wouldn't let her dislike for her ruin his chance of taking the throne. Her likes and dislikes didn't matter here, especially when she didn't even like Lucian, or did she?
She felt Lucian rub the back of her hand, which he still held, as he said, "I will find another way to take the throne without the help of the Banzai kingdom; you need not worry about that."
