Asina made no attempt to hide her purpose. She kept her eyes on Cecilia as she spoke, confident that Cecilia would understand her meaning.
If Lu Xiao accepted Fred as her main husband, the Leslie family would be joined with the Galiodro family through marriage—a completely win-win situation.
She believed that Duchess Cecilia, who had always wanted to revitalize her family and return the Galiodro family to its former glory, would not refuse such a tempting offer.
She couldn't possibly fail to understand the simple implications of a marriage alliance between two ducal houses.
However, just as Asina waited for Cecilia's nod, Cecilia turned to Lu Xiao instead. "I don't get involved in the children's affairs. If Xiao Xiao is willing, she will accept. If not, then she should properly thank Duchess Asina for her kind intentions."
