Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Carissa chuckled softly.

Still, she needed to be clear about a few things. She instructed Violet to find Kiera, brought her back, and had the girl seated in a chair. "Have you seen him?" she asked.

Kiera's eyes shimmered with a glint of excitement. "Yes, he came to the palace to pay respects to the queen, and I saw him then."

"What do you like about him?" Carissa asked.

"I'm not sure. I just liked him when I saw him," Kiera replied.

Carissa wasn't familiar with Logan's appearance, but a first impression that sparked immediate affection often indicated love at first sight, which usually related closely to one's appearance. "Well, then should we have someone inquire into this?"

"I can't make that decision. It's up to Mom and you," Kiera said, her lips curving upwards despite herself. "But, I don't mind. Go ahead and inquire."

A princess' marriage wasn't something that required extensive inquiry. If she had her heart set on someone, it would simply be a matter of issuing a royal edict.

However, Carissa wanted to understand Logan's own wishes. If he was only marrying out of obligation to the royal family, then life after the marriage for the couple would likely be quite unhappy. Carissa was aware of Kylie's thoughts on the matter. The Quinton family had many outstanding members, and if any of them were to marry a princess, Logan, who seemed the least impressive among the family, was the most suitable choice. This would prevent the other promising members of the Quinton family from having their talents wasted.

However, Helen wasn't entirely pleased. She agreed that a marriage alliance with the Quinton family was beneficial, but she preferred Marcus instead of Logan.
