It was winter when Lumina first met him.
She was just twenty-three at that time. And just like the rest of her sisters, she would be meeting her suitor today.
Duke Dare, the father of Lumina, never had a son. He did try with his other wives, but all of it resulted in another girl.
Along with all her sisters, Lumina had a total of five elder half-sisters.
She got along with them since birth. As the youngest in their group, she received the love of all her sisters.
But, one by one, all of them vanished… or to put it more precisely, they all ran away.
It was all because of their father, the Duke of Dare territory.
As the war's stakes were rising and the neighboring lands were choosing sides, the Dare territory was losing its influence.
And to improve this, the Duke had decided to finally put a good use to his daughters.
And that was… political marriage.
