Aldrian was at a loss for words. He hadn't expected Seira to be so firm, leaving him no room to negotiate.
Still, he didn't give up and continued trying to persuade her, but the result remained the same.
Just then, the Grand Master could no longer hold back and stepped in.
"How about we go to the palace first, Princess? Once we're there, you can discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the King."
The engagement between Aldrian and Seira had not been proposed by Aldrian alone—it was also supported by the royal family and had already been formalized.
That was why Seira could not simply cancel it on her own, as it concerned the pride and dignity of the royal family.
Aldrian's eyes lit up. Since he couldn't persuade Seira, he was certain his mother and father could.
After all, if Seira remained stubborn, it would be pointless. At the palace, he held the highest authority after his father. He could force her and, at worst, even confine her.
