The Myrian King had announced his wedding and, in the process, got people talking about Dominique Handhoff, his family, his alleged crimes, and his current status. They were discussing his daughters and their marriages. Through his two girls, he now had familial ties with Vershia and Myria—two countries that were economic giants, one of which was due to his direct influence as a businessman.
The Myrian Times had a report titled "The Handhoff Sisters: Political Marriages or Genuine Romance?"
It started by saying, "The royal landscape across Myria and Vershia is abuzz following the recent engagement announcement of Adela Handhoff to King Gustav of Myria, raising questions not just about the future of the kingdom, but also the wider political implications this union may hold."
Wider political implications? Lucia felt they were referring to the fact that she was the daughter of a man exiled from his own kingdom and stripped of his titles.
