"Your Majesty, it's alright to take him with us, right?" Arabella pretended to ask permission from her husband.

"Yes, of course. It seems we have no other choice, for now." Ferdinand nodded.

She had met with my mother quite a lot as well. I can't simply leave after seeing her son in this state. I will take Demetrius with me to Valeria," Arabella declared, and the gasps were audible.

"Your Majesty, he is the heir of this duchy," Sonia protested. She knew she could not touch Dimo in Valeria.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. He is my firstborn and I have already declared him as the heir," Duke Olivier seconded.
