Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1168

Kylie instructed that her children should be taken out to play, then called for Jocelyn's mother, Vera Jansen, to come in for a conversation. When Vera heard Kylie mention Thomas, she frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, General Farrell is much older than Jocelyn. He may not be a suitable match. However, Marquis of Glandale's third son, Hubert Schmitt, is a promising young man. He's young and talented, and has already passed the provincial examinations last year. Though he won't inherit a title, with his talent and the support of the Quinton family, he could certainly make a name for himself."

Hubert was striking and composed. At just 19, he had already passed the provincial exams and was now preparing for the national exams. His future seemed full of promise.

Vera's words caused Lydia, who was standing nearby, to chuckle. "Madam Vera, do you think the Quinton family has many promising sons?"

Vera couldn't help but feel proud. "Naturally. There's not a weakling among them. The third branch may be the weakest, but even Logan has married a high princess."

Kylie laughed.

"My third uncle isn't weak-he simply had an accident. Before he fell, he was just as sharp and clever as any of the others. Our family has no weaklings. With such a big family and so many talented sons, many of them already serve in official positions, and even more are about to. What do you think someone like Hubert Schmitt, who's only supported by his mother's family, can achieve in his career?"
