"Husband?" Olea heard that confusing tone from the Princess' narrative.
She was clearly not expecting her to mention it in such a way, especially when it was known to everyone that she wanted the Ducal Prince dead after her marriage.
"Of course, he will be my husband," the Princess raised an eyebrow, giving a confused look to Olea.
Aleriana could see how this might seem to everyone, where they found her image of a frugal princess and a cruel woman who once wanted her husband dead much more appealing to the eyes.

She herself needed to survive in this world and claim what should have rightfully belonged to her mother and her.
