"What?!"
Many people were shocked
"Hahaha." The duke suddenly laughed. "Vera, now a Future Marquis and a half-elf prince both want to marry you. Tell me, who do you want to marry?"
Vera's cheeks flushed red. She shook her head and said, "Father, I don't want to marry anyone yet."
The duke, however, shook his head and insisted, "Don't say such childish things. You'll have to marry sooner or later. What? Are neither of them to your liking?"
Vera looked troubled. Her hands twisted nervously together as she struggled to find an answer.
The queen, Midella, suddenly smiled and suggested, "Vera, if you're feeling torn, why not let them decide through the oldest, most traditional method—a duel?"
At these words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grew lively.
Two nobles dueling for the right to marry a beautiful maiden—could anything be more exciting?
