The announcement of the marriage between Long Qingyi, Elize, and Seraphine spread like wildfire, causing great shock among all the citizens of the Grand Duchy of Vaeldrinn.
Among the most shocked, naturally, were the great noble houses of Vaeldrinn.
Long Qingyi, a foreigner from a distant land and murderer of the former patriarch.
Not only had he returned to their lands, but now he was marrying one of their people's treasures?
The fact that Elize was alive also brought shock, of course, but nothing on the level of that announcement.
Had Lord Lucios gone mad?
There was confusion and even a little hysteria, but in the end, there was little they could do.
Lucios was, at that very moment, the absolute power of the Grand Duchy of Vaeldrinn.
The other great families were fragmented, still trying to assimilate the gains from their conflict with the empire.
And in the end, he was the most powerful expert, with the most powerful dragon among the draconic elves.
