Chapter 646: She Was Sent By His Eminence
[I thought Her Majesty would be too pampered and naive and might get my daughter into a lot of trouble. It could be dangerous to our household.]
[We thought His Majesty would likely have his heart broken and get even more moody since she was in love with someone else. It would be dangerous for our daughters to get caught up in their fights.]
[I thought it was just a rumor that he fell in love and asked her hand for marriage. I thought it was only because she was the most sought-after princess in Eliora so he got her for himself. How can I send my daughter if I’m not sure if she will be treated well?]
[His Majesty seems to truly like Her Majesty. Her Majesty seems to like him too. I heard she was very kind to all her maids and assistants so I can rest assured now that my daughter would not be ruining her future.]
[I was worried that Her Majesty might take it out on her maids that she ended up here against her will since Lobelius could not afford to refuse a marriage proposal from His Majesty.]
Everyone had their own reasons for refusing to send their daughters.
Arabella could understand their worries since their children were indeed very much precious. And Ferdinand indeed had quite a scary reputation.
They trusted him when it came to strength and battle but they were worried when it came to his temper and his possible treatment towards their daughters if they were sent to the Imperial Palace as maids.
Likewise, since Arabella’s hand was sought after by many men, and she was broken apart from Prince Andrew who was her lover back then, they feared that she might be conceited, haughty, and too spoiled and would be terrible on her maids.
