Wait …
Edmund didn't send the marriage proposal through the Emperor of Vellmoria? He didn't even go through the King of the Azmeria Kingdom?
He sent it directly to her father.
Then, why did the Emperor suddenly issue a decree, demanding that Primrose Vielle Illvaris be sent to the Noctvaris Kingdom as the bride of the Lycan King?
Confused, Primrose turned to the next page.
[September 23, 1576]
[Something is wrong.
I only sent the proposal letter to the Duke of Illvaris, yet the Emperor somehow learned about it. Did someone spy on me?
Why would the Emperor get involved in a personal proposal meant only for Lady Primrose and the Duke of Illvaris?
And worse, he made it an imperial decree. Now it looks as if I forced this marriage, when in truth, I simply wanted to ask, not command.
If Lady Primrose learns about this, she will surely think I trapped her here.]
Primrose's fingers tightened slightly on the edges of the notebook.
So it wasn't Edmund who forced the marriage.
