"Listen to me, even if marrying Vera to the prince may give us benefits, the risk is too much to take," lord Carrero says when he thought that the woman might have come back to her senses.


    "No, we can definitely take the risk. The prince will not be too calculating. No matter what he will give a face to the wish of the people," lady Carrero refused to give in.


    ''Stupid'' for the first time lord Carrero realized that his wife was stupid. In the time past her calculation and scheme might have brought him benefits.


    Take for instance when they were young, there was a marriage agreement between his family and her family. Back then he was the eldest son but his father favored his brother who was a few months younger than him.


    Of course, this has been because his father only married his mother to fulfill his family duty. As such she should have been the madam of the family but this was never the case.


    His father had taken another wife a few months after his marriage to his mother, and when the time came to name the madam of the house he had picked the second wife, even when the first wife was still alive.


    Naturally, his mother''s family should have kicked against the disrespect of his father but they remain mute. The reason was that his grandmother had only given birth to two daughters. Although she was the madam of her family back then and played all tricks to make such that her eldest daughter was the one who married into the Carrero family but as of the time her daughter was pushed aside like a piece of used rages, she did not have much power in the family anymore.


    Her husband was already dead and the young son of his other wife was the head of the family and he naturally did not care about his step-sister.


    So lord Carrero was in a difficult position at that time. Even if he was outstanding his father did not care about him, so there was news everywhere that his brother will become the next heir of the family


    Without the support of her family, his mother could only bow her head and accept what was thrown at her. So the people in the Carrero family looked down on her and underestimated her.


    Soon the marriage between lord Carrero''s family and his wife were been discussed. Before this, his father had tried to introduce some girls to him but under his mother''s watchful eyes had rejected them. At that time he was not sure why his mother was kicking against them.


    So when this marriage discussion started his mother has gone behind everyone''s back and spoke to the young girl involved. Of course, since the two women came together there was mutual benefit.


    Lord Carrero''s mother knew that as long as her son married this lady his chances of fighting for his birthright will be increased. And as for the young lady, she was certain to become the next madam when this happened. Her position to be the next madam was not certain with the second son, after all, most men treated their wives according to what benefits they could get.


    When everybody thought that she was set to marry the younger brother, she had slapped all the elders in their face with her words.


    Lord Carrero could still remember these words. How could he not, after all, her standing up for him on an occasion that opened a way for him?


    "The marriage agreement between our family is to bring the two families together. As you all know my father does not have a son. And as his eldest daughter should marry the heir of the family, so why is the second son seated as the intending groom?" This we''re the words that had shocked everybody.


    She successfully pushes the head of the Carrero family to the edge. No matter what he could not disregard his first son. After all his outstanding abilities could be seen by all. If he openly declared that he wanted to name the second son as heir, then he would have been seen by his future in-laws as a man who does not play by the rules and customs of the people.


    If this becomes the case her family would be unwilling to marry their daughter into such a family. After all, they will not trust that he would keep his words and the terms they have agreed upon when the family decided to come together.


    So at that time, the head of the Carrero family was forced to conner. If he also said that his first son is his heir, it will mean he wanted to make a fool of the bride''s family.


    In the end, the second son had to take the responsibility and said that he had begged his father for this chance since he had fallen in love with the young lady.


    Right there lady Carrero had told the second son that she was moved by his confession but as the first child of her family she could not act selfishly. So she could only marry the heir of the family which is the first son.


    Lord Carrero''s mother was all praise of the young lady. She had not expected the young lady to have defeated her husband and his madam in a few words. At first, people had thought that she had bitten more than she can chew but she surprised


    After the marriage, lady Carrero had continued to scheme against the mother and son and pushed them into a corner. This is particularly why lord Carrero favored her.


    Even if he picked up other wives and mistresses, everyone in the family knew that he doted on her. He would allow her to go against anyone. Even if that person is a lord or madam of another family. After all, she was good with changing the narrative.


    Even with all this lord Carrero was certain that she was not a match for the crown prince of Avalo. This man did not care about giving face to anyone. Moreover, he had the ability not to care.


    "I will say this for the late time, give up your thought about the crown prince. I will visit the Ryon family and have her engage. Even if she will not be as powerful as the Queen of Avalo, she will be treated like a treasure. Moreover, our family will be able to be her backer unlike with the crown prince, " lord Carrero said and left no room for negotiation.


    Just when Lady Carrero was feeling defeated the door was pulled open." Father, how can you conclude like that without asking my opinion? " Vera''s voice sounded hurt.


    When lady Carrero saw her daughter her eyes lit up. She had almost forgotten to ask her daughter what she wanted. But seeing that her daughter seems displeased with her father''s decision she was happy.


    At the very least, her husband will give a little concern about their daughter''s feelings.
