The atmosphere in the royal palace of Qalagon was quite light. It was dinner time and unlike other days, King Arin had a companion at the long dining table.
Crown Princess Maria Kareno of Vialand arrived at Qalagon in the evening and though the young King had offered to prepare a feast, the Crown Princess declined.
When the King of Vialand heard that the new King of Qalagon was willing to negotiate with them, he quickly sent his only daughter for the negotiation.
Vialand had many unique laws in comparison to other kingdoms and one was that females were allowed to inherit the throne. However, that's possible only if the current ruler had no male descendants. Based on that, Crown Princess Maria became the heiress to the throne as the only daughter of the King.
