"Oh, you misunderstood. They don't want to be Prince. There is already a Prince, and a good one at that. No, they wish to have our bloodline and their bloodline combined. Making both our houses stronger. They have been a rival house with ours in terms of financials and businesses." He took the book and started looking through it.

"The marriage is for the oldest son. His name is Marcell. He will one day be head of the house of Gerard. As for his preferences...well, not too sure. His father didn't really say. We have been keeping an eye on him, but he seems to be a bit of a player at the moment."

Tori sat down in a chair, thoughtfully. “A bit of a player, but his father wants him to settle down. Based on all you are saying, I don’t imagine that this betrothal will be a love match but more a match of convenience. without knowing his type, we will need to find someone who we all consider to be universally beautiful. Someone who is open to the potential of a loveless marriage and who is coachable. Someone who understands that they will need to be turned and looks at this as an adventure. Someone who is open to the possibility of children. someone who understands etiquette and decorum since they’ll be marrying into Noble house. You definitely have made it so that we have our work cut out for us, Father, but I have no doubt Colin and I will succeed in the endeavor.

”What I suggest is that you find at least five women in that book that you think you would want to bestow our family line upon based on looks. after you selected the five, Colin and I will interview them. From there we can pick two and you and mother can decide which one of the two you would like to go with. Or you can just present the two to the Gerard family and let them choose which one they want to marry off to their son.”

She looked at her brother then. “what do you think Colin. you traverse these circles, you know and are familiar with these type… if not are one yourself,” she said, teasing her brother. What do you think is the best way to go?”
