Reisa Claymore's father has been worried for his daughter this whole evening, she has become absentminded since she greeted the Queen. He looked at his daughter that has been playing with the fork without touching the food even a bit. Even thought Count Claymore come from countryside but he do have small villa inside aristrocrat's distric, with few servant.
"We come here for our family obligation as Queen faction, don't think too much and just attend the bride selection. It's not like our family up to power struggle."
Like a flick, Reisa wake up from her thought. Pondering something for a moment then she opened her mouth after few failed attempt.
"Dad, I heard that the relationship between the Queen and First Prince is bad, so...won't it be bad if someone that come from Queen faction married first prince?"
Count Claymore stunned for a moment, it is rare for his daughter to know the talk of capital. He don't know if it is good or bad, He know that the relationship between the Queen and first prince is bad to the point of enmity but it can't be helped that he is in the Queen faction since Queen is their benefactor. Actually, he has been uneasy to married off his daughter to the First Prince. Apart from rumors that the first prince is shrewd and playboy, he gave off the feeling of a dangerous person. like an animal waiting for its prey.
"Alas, I didn't expect you to know about it, that's why I hope that you weren't chosen. This is the first time that I am glad you are timid girl. I heard that the first prince only take the woman that tried to get close to him."
'Dad, in the end the prince choose me because between clingy or timid woman from the enemy camp he would choose the one who give him less trouble' said Reisa in her mind. But she is glad that her father didn't sold her off, its just her being unlucky to be placed between power struggle that make her first three month of her marriage like hell.
Since her daughter didn't said anything the Count continue
"Well, I hope there would be no more enmity between the Queen and the First Prince. Both of them are great people and come from imperial family. The Queen was the last descendant of our country great sage, she is also one of the great magician in our kingdom, helping our king to fend off the Helios empire. While our First prince is born genius, he can almost master everything once he learn. Actually, the fact that he couldn't master light magic and failed to obtain the stargaze sword should reduce the queen's hatred. but there are always people who want power. Alas, the fact that he is the first son born to a concubine and the genius of the first prince who overshadowed the crown prince made the queen on high alert." Count looked at his daughter that seems like thinking hard. "It is rare for you to be interested in this kind of thing, if there is anything you want to know just ask" The Count ordered the servant to leave, this kind of talk is better to keep private.
"Then, What do you think about the crown prince?"
"I can say that the crown prince is perfect candidate for a ruler. Unlike the unpredictable first prince, the crown prince is kind, sociable and wise. he is a perfect prince but he is a bit innocent in few area. Well, between a prince don't know underworld and a prince who involved in the underworld. I can't say which one is batter?"
"Huh? Underworld? how come?"
"This kind of thing not a secret, I don't know the detail but there is once a news circulating that the first prince build a force to conquer some business in underworld and then slowly make it into legal business like Lunar mall or Lunar resort."
This pair of father and daughter talk last for few hour until they are tired and they come back to their own room.

After talking with her father, Reisa brain keep working on what should she do for her future. The path in front of her is only to marry the Duke, there is thing that make her mind hurt ia that she love the Duke but she didn't want to went through that three month of hell of marriage.
'Is this called love and hate relationship? or toxic relationship? Maybe no, the Duke only misunderstood me. If I can clear the misunderstanding first there might be a hope, and then How I should stop the Duke to start rebellion? with my body? ffu.... come to think of it, he like my hair color and my.... AHHH!'
Reisa face become red and hot, she should have a sixty year old mind but maybe coming back to her youthfull body make her mind wander.
'But seriously, How should I save him?'
for Reisa rather than love unconciously she pitied the Duke. She want to help him, that is way she didn't consider to let other people married the Duke. Difinitely not because all of those hot night!
'The candidate marriage interview going to happen three days later. The prince should come to the palace before the marriage interview. I must come to palace and talk to him first! get close to him and until we merried hmm... the rebellion started in two year then in a yaer later lets say that i can see his future and tell him to live peacefully.'
Reisa didn't know that the random thought of her will become reality.
