Arranging marriage

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness!!"

The maids and knights bowed at the Fifth Princess who just arrived back to palace along with Duke Lucas Callum. "Ria!!" Lilith Scarlet's thrilled voice caught the young woman's attention fully. Her eyes lit up. Hopping off from the horse to greet her mother. 

"Welcome back, my dear" Lilith smiled amd checked her daughter from head to toes to make sure she wasn't harmed. "I did not get damaged, mother" Asteria showed off her small smile when she noticed the woman's concerned gaze. "I am glad to see you unharmed"

Lilith let out a relieved sigh. Cupping the young woman's cheeks gently. "I was so worried when I heard about the fire incident" she disclosed. Frowning as Ria only smiled at the affection. "Your daughter is a warrior. Of course, I kicked that fire out of my way"
