The Objections

But even though lord Gracia turned silent, how can others?

Choosing a human girl as a prince's wife? 

This was the best opportunity for them to blame the royal family.

And the most displeased was the minister Mormond. He was the man who tried to sound out Silja when she won the second competition. He was displeased when talk back at him about the matter of slaves.

Huh, how much audacity for a woman like her.

He had never thought that the prince would actually choose this woman as his wife but so what? 

No one will accept a human girl as the wife of the eldest prince.

Minister Mormond was standing on the sidelines, watching the show. He was waiting for lord Gracia to sound out Donovan and the royal family, which would result in a big fight between them. But just as everything was getting heating up lord Gracia took a step back from the argument.

So he has to take initiative.
