Alma POV 3/17
-----
I never thought that having an arranged marriage would bring me so many advantages. Having Elred at my side meant a lot of things! I discovered I could actually use him as a way to save my ass when things were to get real, and I could even use his influence as the son of the biggest aristocrat in Flowerbed to do many other things.
He was also outside the security of my Kingdom, and the guards never dared to oppose him unlike to me, as they were not given any order to do so, and provoking the boy might mean an offense to the entire nation… Haha!
This way, I could think about ways to abuse his presence and become capable of wandering around the castle way more easily, while also being able to go out! But for that, I really need him here and try it out.
