At that moment, Beryl frowned and said, "As far as I know, she's never had a boyfriend before."
When Felicia heard that, she seemed to say with certainty, "See! I was right! It's her first time, so you can't blame her for being shy. It's because Severin was love at first sight for her that she's being all secretive about it." Felicia then had a sudden realization: "If this comes true… then wouldn't we become the relatives of the king? Just thinking about it is giving me the shivers!"
"Don't you think you're reading too much into this, Mom? What if you guessed wrongly? You can't just delude yourself with these ridiculous fantasies!" Diane said unhappily.
Diane only accepted Sheila as Severin's second wife because she already knew Sheila and had a good impression of Sheila. She was not too keen on accepting Nana yet because she did not know anything about Nana's character. It would be ridiculous to let Severin accept her!
Furthermore, Nana was a princess who was bound to have been spoiled silly by Logan. She had probably been doted on since she was young and developed a stubborn personality. If she marries Severin, then there is a chance that she might not get along with either Sheila or Diane in the future. That was especially so if the Nana treated them condescendingly.
Felicia, on the other hand, was getting very excited. She was excited at the prospect of enjoying a lifetime of glory and wealth once she became a relative to the king. She would be able to feel even prouder whenever she went out.
Severin and Nana had arrived at a huge open area with many houses in front of them. At that juncture, four of Shadraw's people were there. Their leader—Alex—was there, and so was Francis—the middle-aged man who played chess with Alex the other day.
