"Reina Aurelius, she is the one who is capable of this." My Grandfather announced.
There was a moment of pin drop silence before Duke Aurelius and Rune exploded.
"What?!"
"Why would you want Reina to do something like that?!"
Grandfather glanced at me ignoring my father's and brother's reactions.
"What might you be thinking, Marquis? As far as I've heard, the Young Miss of Aurelia has a weak constitution and she hasn't even shown her face in almost any of the events for years." Earl Clive spoke up.
"Precisely," Count Wallace said, "and you expect such a person to make an impact to balance both sides? How is that even possible?"
I could understand why Count Wallace was so irked about this suggestion, within this time that I asked Reina had been keeping myself away, I had also made a point to visit Brielle sometimes and we wrote letters to each other often. I was almost the same age as his daughter and his fatherly instincts must have extended towards me.
