Lord Carrero Residence.


    It was already evening but lady Vare was unable to get over what happened in the morning. The mental picture of how her husband to be was stone to death played in her head.


    Her family was already preparing for the marriage rite. The house was still having the festival decoration.


    "Take all this down," lady Carrero said. She was feeling regretful but there was nothing she could do. It has only been a few days since she raised her head high since her daughter was about to be the next Queen.


    Her friend admired and congratulated her. She knew they were not jealous. Now she will become a laughing stock. It would have been fine if prince Craig had fought and lost to prince Sebastian. Everyone knew the crown prince is a beast and it would have been expected.


    Now that he was stoned to death by the commoner because he murdered his father, the same can not be said.


    Lord Correro sat inside his study thinking of a way to fix the situation. Care needs to be married out as soon as possible. If things were to be delayed then rumors may start going around that Vare is cursed because prince Craig got stone to death a day before their marriage rite.


    Just then, lady Carrero knocked on the door and walked in.


    "What should we do now?" She asked after taking her seat opposite lord Carrero.


    "We have to arrange for her to get engaged to someone else. I have been thinking of noble families that match ours, that have unmarried sons.


    There are only two of them, but their sons are not particularly outstanding. Should we go a little lower? Like the Roy family. They have just one son. Although their family is a small one his son is very outstanding and with the marriage between the two families. They will rise in status and the Roy family will not dare mistreat Vera," lord Carrero said.


    Lady Carrero frown her brows when she heard this. If Vare was not her birth daughter then she would have encouraged him to marry her off. But


    Care was her precious daughter. If words get out that lady Vare will marry someone from the Roy family then she would be mocked by her friends.


    "No, Vare is our precious daughter. How can she end up falling so low? Even if she has been engaged to prince Craig they never got married. I have asked Vare, she said they never crossed the line. So she is still a virgin," lady Carrero replied.


    Lord Carrero took a deep breath. He already thought about it but it was better for Vera to marry the son from the Roy family. The other young men who have outstanding family backgrounds were useless.


    "So do you have a better plan?" Lord Carrero asked his wife.


    "It not that, it just that the family of Roy is just a small family. If care gets married to them, she will be laughed at by her friends. We should look for a more suitable family," lady Carrero said.


    "There is nothing wrong with the Roy family. Even if they are small and not very significant they are still well repeated. Even if her friends laugh at her now they will become envious in the future," lord Carrero said.


    "What will they have to be envy of?" Lady Carrero was not convinced by her husband''s words.


    "Then if you have a better candidate say it. Because as far as Avalo is concerned. It is either those two from food family background but no outstanding quality or the boy from the Roy family. He is very young but we all know of his outstanding qualities," lord Carrero said.


    "What about the crown prince?" Lady Carrero finally revived the person she had in mind.


    *cough *cough* lord Carrero choked on his sliver because he did not expect these words from his wife.


    "What is so surprising. Even if Vera never becomes a queen, Marrying the crown prince will still make a lot of people envy her. Besides, the marriage engagement was never between prince Craig and Vera but the royal family and Carrero family," lady Carrero said.


    Lord Carrero looked at his wife with disbelief. Back then he had asked Vera to choose the Crown prince but his wife had kicked against it. She said ger daughter will be sent to her early grave if she married the prince.


    "Do you think the prince will agree to this?" Lord Carrero asked. He knew that the prince did not care about things of this nature.


    "Why not? This is an agreement between the two families. As the new head he will have to abide by it," lady Carrero said with confidence.


    "The crown prince does not care about this like this. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Vare is already connected to his brother, and the prince is not someone who takes fancy in things that have been touched by his brothers," lord Carrero replied.


    "What do you mean his brother has already touched. There has been no intimacy between them," Lady Carrero replied.


    Lord Carrero paused and thought about it. If Vare is able to marry the crown prince it will be their blessing but he doubts the crown prince will not accept it.


    "We can talk to his highness but he might reject us, so we have to keep this matter between us first," lord career said.


    "Okay," lady Carrero said but deep in her mind, she was already making plans for how she could ensure Vera marry the crown prince.


    All she needed to do was allow a few people to find out that Vera''s engagement to prince Craig was set by the family. Which means that she had to marry someone from the Royal family. Since all the king''s sons are married, it means that the crown prince does not have to marry her.


    But all that will change once she remained the people that prince Sebastian''s wife is not from Avalo.


    Why should someone who is not from Avalo become their Queen? If she managed to make the people think this way, then they will naturally start thinking about it.


    This way people will start matching Vera with the crown prince. Lady Carrero did not belive that the prince will ignore the people''s voices. After all, the power of the many can not be underestimated.


    Once the prince is under so much pressure, then they will visit him and ask him if he is willing to follow the arrangement by the two families. Lady Carrero did not belive that the prince will be able to reject them when this gets to that point.


    She smiled feeling satisfied by her plans.. All she had to do was convice vera.
