Before meeting the king, Luo'er had anticipated thousands of possible scenarios in his mind. However, he had never expected that Melia would have bravely stepped forward to fight for what they wanted. This left Luo'er utterly perplexed.
Melia, a cool-headed and thoughtful person from what little Luo'er understood about her, wouldn't speak up for their sake due to some so-called face issue. Her behavior indicated that she had her own agenda, but he had no idea what she was up to.
Having met with the king, Luo'er confirmed one of his suspicions. It was evident that Masya really intended to arrange a political marriage by sending Princess Melia as an envoy to Odelanqi. However, it was clear that Melia disapproved of this betrothal. She shared Luo'er's opinion, suspecting King Valen was trying to eliminate the competitors for his son, Oliver, to ascend the throne.
