"He… he agreed?" Evie's face was suddenly drained of all colour. However, her facial expressions did not change in the slightest.
"I haven't met my husband or the prince yet, but it appeared this was what the council had concluded and decided on. If the prince had not given his consent, there would be no way that anyone could have made a move."
