Brittany had this uneasy feeling in her gut, so she approached her dad, "Dad, what's up?"

"There's been a message from the palace... they want you to..." Yuri glanced at Brittany's expression, "marry Ivy's brother, Eltham."

"What?"

Brittany was speechless, now understanding why the Queen had inquired about her love life.

Brittany was adamant. She had never even met Eltham; how could she possibly marry him?

"Calm down."

Yuri was in a tough spot too, "Bri, I know this is sudden, but my hands are tied."

He lowered his voice, "With Princess Ivy gone, the royal family's focus is all on Eltham. Royal marriages, they've always been about alliances."

The royal family knew Ivy and Dominic's marriage was just for show; they didn't care about love, just the strategic alliance.
