Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 751

"War? Seriously?" Marguerite frowned, her anxiety growing by the second. "What about a trade war? You're saying there's no play in the economic battlefield

Sandra shook her head. "Far from it. All the families here operate on hereditary principles. The days of battles and wars ended with our grandparents' generation.

Plus, the Tunez clan is directly under the king's eye. Even if someone had the audacity to start a conflict, they wouldn't dare target them."

Marguerite's confusion deepened, her brows knotting further. "Was Frederick pulling my leg then?"

Sandra paused, a hint of surprise in her voice. "Did Frederick tell you he was staying behind to engage in a war?"

"He mentioned something about a trade war."
