　I do not begrudge them this. That's the way it is with the nobility. Delight, the court wizard and the most powerful man in the Kingdom of Skye, is the reason why they made the connection. When that status is gone, they can see no advantage in dating, which is uncomfortable but unavoidable.

　Needless to say, it came as a big shock to Fran, who was still in her mid-teens. She had thought they were a good couple, and she had hoped to have a nice family one day like her parents, but she felt betrayed.
