The next day, King Theron informed his mother about his decision. Esther herself had made a list of qualified candidates and chose the granddaughter of Duke Walter as the First Concubine for her husband. Clarisa Walter was not only the most beautiful maiden in the capital, she also had the strongest background as the Walter Duchy was among the wealthiest and most powerful territories in Megaris, which would prove to be strong support for the young king.
Though Esther was the incumbent Queen in charge of the royal harem, in her absence she had appointed Queen Theodora to handle this matter with the help of Lady Tyra. Everything was carried on according to the customs of the royal family.
Before the young lady of the Walter Family officially entered the royal harem, King Theron asked to see her first as he needed to clear things with her.
