The first daughter in each generation of Qye.
Love is not expected between the two. Especially, because the Crown Prince will have to find his mate someday.
But a heart is not something a Crown Prince could control.

The Daughter of Qye

Xalen is running down the hallway when he turns around and collides with someone, the blanket she holds on her hand all falling to the ground, she bows her head before she apologizes many times, while Xalen gathers all the blankets off the floor.
