Laurene had done very little to hide the fact that she fancied Arnold which now caused problems in the political scene.
The issue was that Arnold was currently not the Eris Duchy's heir.
Royal Family Supporters were saying that if Laurene was to marry into the Eris Family, then she should at the very least be wed to the heir to the Dukedom.
Currently, that was Evan.
Hence, it wasn't too hard to figure out what they were trying to say.
The problem was that Evan had a significant other in the form of Eliza and wasn't looking any other girl's way, much less Laurene whom he treated like a little sister.
A noble had dared to speak of this when Evan was within earshot and the glare the boy gave the noble made the grown man nearly piss his pants.
That feeling of existential fear that gripped all those within the hall that day shut all of them up and prevented them from voicing such thoughts.
