Capítulo 269: Chapter 269 : A royal decree

Eira looked at her father with a confused expression. "What do you mean I have to find a suitor? You told me I could think about marriage at my own time... You- you said I could be queen and didn't need any man but you."

Gareth averted his daughter's gaze, "you can still be queen princess, I still support your dream of ruling entirely. I just feel that now is the time to find someone to help you achieve that dream."

"But father-"

"It is already decided princess, please don't make this any harder than it needs to be, this is not a death sentence, you're merely taking the time to find a good man for yourself."

Eira was wide eyed in shock by her father's words, this was crazy, why did she suddenly have to find a husband?

"Why are you doing this?" Eira asked in a tone that broke her father's heart into a million pieces. "Is the council putting pressure on you to have an heir to the throne?"
