"Fredrick has no idea that Remi and I came here to secure Remi's marriage. If he did, he would surely raze your kingdom down to the ground."
Remi nodded to his mother's words. "Father and Carl both would."
A scowl came over Queen Lilianna's face, making her delicately arched eyebrows furrow down. "Yes. The two of them would certainly cause havoc like none have seen before." She turned warm eyes onto Demian. "This mark will prevent the two of them from taking any unsavory action against you and your family."
