The Alliance Marriage Went Wrong

Iria didn't expect the beautiful place which Crown Prince Arin mentioned to be a small house surrounded by farms. With many flowers and trees, it was indeed beautiful but... what was this place?

Arin offered his hand to her and she gets off her horse. They brought a few guards and though Rion came along, Prince Orius didn't.

Iria glanced around their surroundings and observed it. This didn't go unnoticed by the Crown Prince's keen eyes. "Come. I'll give you an answer," he said and pulled her inside the small gate.

They stood in front of the door and Arin briefly glanced at her before he knocked on the door. This really surprised Iria. However, before she could say anything, the door was opened.

A young girl with blonde hair which was similar to the Crown Prince was standing before them. She was quite beautiful with fair skin and even the way her ocean blue eyes widened when surprised was the same as Arin Helev!
