It is okay for him if Duke Bastella will just as for the throne. Geradine will give the crown to him in a heartbeat. As long as he will keep his people safe, then giving up the throne is an easy thing to do. But Duke Bastella has another thing he wants.
Or rather someone.
Duke Bastella wants them to give Ramira to him. When Geradine heard it, he almost explode in anger. The young prince knows that the duke always stares at his twin sister every time he has a chance. That's why Ramira always feels uneasy when the duke is in the same space as her.
