Capítulo 101: Chapter 101: Christmas break I

Celine saw her daughter's sad expression but knew that even if she had feelings for Charles' son, it would be futile. Simoun told her about the mess the court right now is. The radical faction was moving and gaining momentum and the king was not pleased at all. Since last year, the court has been divided to two major factions. The monarchists and the radicals. When they decided to engage Serena to the crown prince, they have already casted their dice and tied themselves to the crown. 

Meanwhile, although the Duke of Suffox was married to the king's younger sister, the king still put him at arms-length. Mainly because the leaders of the other faction were once his brothers in arms, and that he was too popular with the masses. 

Anyway, the couple chose to change the topic. They praised Serena to high heaven and told her that they support her on this venture of hers. They will be sure to purchase a lot of copies.
