Power To Make Aldric A King

She and Valerie would never have ended up together, Islinda finally concluded after Andre's explanation. Islinda accepted that she was not a Fae, nor was she from a powerful Fae family. A relationship with Valerie was simply not realistic; they would always be nothing more than a pipe dream.

Currently, Islinda and Andre were waltzing across the dance floor in a slow dance. Unlike Aldric, Andre maintained a small yet respectable distance, which touched Islinda. She realized that Andre's good manners were another reason why they worked well together. If she had to fall for any of the princes, it should have been him.

However, Andre had flaws too, and Islinda knew he was a natural flirt. He was sweet and cheerful, but Islinda wasn't sure if she could handle sharing him with numerous other superior and beautiful Fae. They were better off as friends. Plus, in this harsh realm, Islinda needed a companion.
