Victarine Aria stood beside her husband, the Crown Prince of the Sovereignty, Alexis Gretenberg. A smile sat on her face, but it took her every strength to keep it there. An entourage of thousands accompanied them, as today was one of those days that were crucial to the future of the Sovereignty.
They were waiting for the arrival of Savine Lorelei, the Prince's second official consort.
Victarine knew this day would come eventually. No Prince was ever going to stay with one partner. Too many problems would arise from having only one. One family would have too much power over the others, there would be concerns of whether or not a single woman would be able to produce an heir, and there was also the need to use a marriage as a political move.
