章節 194: Selecting a Replacement

Bruno returned to the party not long after his conversation with the Prussian Princess. They would never speak again of what had been said in private within the snow-filled palace gardens, nor would there be any hostilities between them due to the awkwardness that had resulted from the misunderstandings of a teenage girl and her unrequited love. 

In fact, Hedwig, Olga, and Sakura were all around the same age and would themselves be married off in the following years, forgetting all about whatever foolish notions they had towards Bruno. This did not mean, however, that the bonds Bruno had forged with their royal families as a result of these misunderstandings would disintegrate. 

Rather, he would be far friendlier with all of them going forward, as any sense of unease caused by these misunderstandings was thoroughly gone, replaced instead with a sibling-like friendship.
