The Past
Therius did not respond to Xion's words. His eyes looked serious, staring into space.
Ah, future wife. He admitted that he still could not familiarize himself with those words. He actually considered himself too young to get married. And that girl ... she must be even younger.
The only reason he came here, traveling as far as 6 light-months away from home, was to fulfill the request of his grandfather, King Cassius. He was indeed the appointed crown prince, but his position was not secure without the support from their colonies. And the most important support he must get was from Princess Arreya's homeland.
Arreya's daughter would play an important role in determining who would be the next ruler of Akkadia. She was just as important as Arreya. That was why it was crucial for Therius to marry this girl.
