Third in Line (2)

"WHAT?! The royal princess?! Someone like her?!"

The young noble's mouth dropped to the floor, unable to react in a different way that would not make them look stupid.

The royal family's descendants were born strong and healthy, but the fertility of the bloodline was always low. That was the reason why each of them was treasured and pampered as the future of the kingdom. 

However, the previous crown prince was the exception as he used to be a very sick child and in the end, he died young before he could ascend the throne. The Princess of Taranis was also a well-known public figure and the kingdom's hero, but not many remained who would remember their relationship. 

"Wait, I get it that she is connected to Taranis, but that doesn't mean her grandfather was the crown prince? I mean, he died young, and the Fearless Princess went into hiding, who knows if she wasn't in a relationship with some other man…" the daring girl shouted her opinion.
