"The engagement?" Daphne dumbly echoed. "My apologies, I'm afraid I'm a little lost. What engagement?"
Did she mean a wedding engagement? Since when was Cordelia getting married? Besides,why would Atticus know about it, and even if he did, why would he care? This seemed to be Cordelia's personal affairs and if Cordelia didn't wish to share it, it was highly unlikely that Atticus would know. He was never one to pry, especially when he held no interest for these particular people.
Queen Lavinia merely sighed, shaking her head.
"This child…" she mumbled under her breath, "Cordelia truly is never one to share her woes. It seems like her father, King Marinus, has arranged a marriage for her. He wishes for the groom to be none other than King Atticus."
"What?!"
