Alaric left the room, leaving Magnus and Izaak behind. He wished to be alone for some time.
"Alaric is indeed a fool. He agreed to marry Scarlet when he doesn't even like her. His mind is filled with Ember. Father never forced any of us for the marriage, but to Alaric he gave such an offer, which he couldn't refuse," Izaak complained, letting out his frustration. He picked up the wine cup and chugged it down in an instant.
"Because Brother Alaric will never forget Ember if he stays unmarried. Father found it the best opportunity to bring Alaric out of one-sided love," Magnus shared his father's thoughts with Izaak.
"Love isn't forced," Izaak said.
