Queen Theodora directly jumped to the point as soon as they were alone.
"Today, Theron said he wishes to marry Esther."
Lady Tyra was too stunned to react. Her first thought was that she had heard something wrong. "Esther? Your Majesty, you mean Baroness Esther?"
"Yes, Tyra."
"Is the Crown Prince offering an engagement proposal to the Baroness? You must dissuade him, Your Majesty. There are many daughters of the high-ranking nobles waiting to be his betrothed. Even if Prince Theron fancies the Baroness, I do not think the Baroness will accept his one-sided feelings."
The Queen responded with something even more ridiculous. "From what I understand, their feelings are mutual. Theron is simply asking for my and Esteban's blessings."
Lady Tyra could not believe it. 'Mutual? How can it be? How can Her Eminence marry a human and that to the prince of a human kingdom?'
