The king looked at his daughter and saw that she was slightly agitated. He assumed that his words about marrying her off had frightened her.
"The king of Nixel has a brother; They share the same mother. I've heard he is highly favored by King Edward…" he paused, observing his daughter. "Moreover, he is in poor health. He likely won't live past a few more years. As long as you marry him and bear a son before he dies, you'll be able to live a comfortable life. With our kingdom backing you, Nixel will treat you well," the king explained.
Katrina pursed her lips. She wanted to see him again. She knew that only by marrying into Nixel would she have the chance to meet the handsome man once more.
"I agree," she said. Just thinking about seeing him again made her decision easy.
The king was surprised; he hadn't expected his daughter to agree so readily.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
