Countess Seaton, just like the Duchess of Taranis, was one of the few women who were completely in charge of their houses. In a patriarchal society like the Kingdom of Alviraz, it was usually the son who inherited the title, and the women were married off.
However, for the Seatons, the count died young, making his wife a widow just a few years after the wedding without any successors. The countess took charge of the household and wished for princess Gloria, her niece, to inherit everything from her, while Sabrina Riverty was chosen as one of the potential candidates for the position of the crown princess.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Your Majesty. I also already decided to accept the invitation from lady Riverty," Arianell said.
