Chapter 1
A banquet was held by the Vandamin Spine family and the San Los Damine family.
"I heard that the two kingdoms are going to unite. Is that true?" asked a man from one of the largest bachelor families.
As time passed, the banquet began. The hall was filled with light, people danced to the music, and servants served food. Suddenly, a silence fell over the room as the head of the San Los Damine family stood up.

The noble families and kingdoms watched eagerly, expecting him to announce the name of one of their own sons.

"Dad you made...this decison by yourself. Why Father?Please tell me your lying"
Lionel Daken gently patted Catherine's back

She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling as the announcement keep replaying over and over again in her mind.
The memory bought her back to the day, she had humiliated Marco
