บท 1012: To Foster The Next Generation

The look on Skullius' face convinced the two Royals that he wasn't joking. This wasn't the time for a hearty fib anyway. The man before them really was serious about picking not just their youngest daughter, but their eldest as well.

A surge of fury built up within him rapidly, but was doused by rational thinking. For now, perhaps it wasn't a bad thing to entertain this man. He had saved Opungale after all.

"I must admit. Your interest in our daughter…daughters, has taken us by surprise. You must be aware that they are not tools or prizes that we can just hand Out. They are, in fact, individuals who have the right to choose who they want to be with. Their choice matters," the King said firmly.
