Arsia was reluctant to marry into Ausenco.
Her father wanted her to marry a man devoid of feelings, which she could accept because she understood the importance of political marriages for her family. However, the main problem was that Ausenco had nothing to offer, and many of its nobles were unwelcoming to her as an imperial princess.
In her view, the marital alliance between the two kingdoms was a one-sided wish of the royal families. Any unforeseen incidents could bring the whole arrangement to naught, not to mention any thoughts of incorporating the Ausenco Kingdom as a subordinate state.
"Right!"
Arsia exclaimed as if she suddenly realized something.
Eden, distracted by the noise, turned to look at the Princess.
"I thought of something, I thought of something..."
Arsia repeated twice.
Eden looked at Arsia, his face full of confusion.
"My mother mentioned that there are heretics here!"
Arsia suddenly declared.
"...That's suspected heresy."
