Harold's intuition was spot-on.

There was no way Mezlen would bring up the topic of a marriage proposal involving a foreign prince with any kind of cheerful disposition. After all, for years now, she had been unabashedly showing him her affection, which Harold could feel through her actions.

He figured she must have had some ulterior motive for bringing this up and decided to probe her intentions.

"Who is the suitor?"@@novelbin@@

"The second prince of the Matthias Kingdom… um, his, uh, name is…"

"His Highness Dias Ayla Matthias, the second prince," Kate interjected.

"Y-yes, that's right, that Prince Dias…"

At the very least, Harold could immediately discern that she had no interest in the suitor. The self-absorbed fourth princess had a tendency not to remember the names of people she wasn't interested in.

Of course, even if the suitor was royalty, something as trivial as a marriage proposal could have been stopped entirely at her discretion. It wasn't as though the foreign prince would aggressively pursue a proposal made without her consent.

However, Kate’s subsequent explanation clarified just how troubling the situation Mezlen was facing truly was.

"His Highness, the second prince of Panos, owes a significant debt to the Matthias Kingdom. It seems he borrowed troops for the subjugation of the Abyss remnants."
