King Alexander didn't know that even though all men in the world would feel lucky to marry his daughter, Loriel wouldn't. And Loriel was the man who was supposed to be Elise's husband.
If only King Alexander knew that Loriel considered his betrothal to Elise a calamity... he would never have sent her away to Summeria.
When Elise finished her education, she was already 18. That meant, the king had to send the invitation to Summeria for her fiance to come and get her. King Alexander was distraught when he thought about it, while Elise, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
She couldn't wait to meet Loriel in person. After 'growing up' together for almost 12 years, she felt like she had already known him her whole life.
This was time for HIM to get to know her.
"Can I see him before I go, Grandmother?" Elise asked her grandmother with a beaming face. "I've missed him."
Myrcella Leoralei had expected this request, so she nodded. "Come. You can see him one last time."
