Stella was relieved when the tea party with the ladies was finally over. She was tired of all the recommendations and explanations she had. But what was probably the most tiring were the talks about marriage.
All the ladies excitedly talked about the best marriage prospects and among them, in the top three were the Princes: Conrad, Fabian, and Aiden. Hendrick was fourth and Zafir was fifth. The sons of dukes from the other top four duchies followed.
The ladies who dream of being empress preferred Conrad. Those who liked someone more mysterious preferred Fabian. And those who loved to take care of their man preferred Aiden.
A lot of the ladies older than Stella preferred Aiden since he exuded the charm of someone you'd love to pamper and take care of.
