"Arturo, here are the invitations from Yu Lan and Louisa."
"I hear Belina is preparing to choose a new Queen between the two of them."
"Tell me, who should we go and see?"
The planets that Yu Lan and Louisa were to govern were both located extremely close to Marquis Yisha's Rose Star.
With the influence Marquis Yisha had built in the border region over so many years, establishing relations with her was as good as locking in the position of the next Queen.
Marquis Yisha's choice was of the utmost importance.
One was her own daughter, whom she hadn't raised, filling her with guilt.
The other was a junior she admired, who was intelligent and kind.
When asked, Arturo fell silent for a rare, long moment.
He was always the silent one, a towering, steady, and reliable mountain at Marquis Yisha's side.
"No matter what, I will always support you."
