Duke Pellington also made sure that if he married Arielle, then the territory would fall to Nieverdell because the diamond mine had belonged to the Duke Pellington family for generations.

"Duke Pellington's family does have a gem mine over the neutral area, Your Majesty. But before the four kings agreed to neutralize the area, the territory was part of the northern region," the advisor said.
