So basically they decided to engage tia and Perez instead of Larane and crown prience to unite families
Literally (≧∀≦)
I already can foresee that tia will be "Perez this is a arranged engagement we did it because it was obligatory you don't like me you like fl" bullshit (￣∇￣") hopefully that phase will be short
Omg sooo true let's hope not too long
Or hear me out... the first prince INSISTS on Tia being his bride since they didn't fulfill their promise, in giving him a bride...
Are you F***KEN kidding me?!
Ughhhhhh hate that but can’t wait to see it drawn up
Tia should clip her fingernails and give it to the prince. Since he is barely deserves that much Tia.
SPOILER IN BULLETS (to spoil without giving much of the details iykwim)
○ Emperor imposed an absolute order (i forgot what it's called) that forbid Grandpa Lombardi from stepping foot on the empire's capital and imperial palace
○ Grandpa Lombardi responded by pulling out all of Lombardi (the lombardi top, bank, and all of businesses handled by the vassals) which turned the economy in shambles
○ the citizens were unsatisfied with the emperor
○ Tia helped Larane to elope with Avinox to the East (by cruise) with Grandpa's blessings and the twins & perez' help
○ Jovaness was pressured by the citizens' protests but the Empress told him that they could pass a law about the first born son being the heir of a house and Rulac can't oppose bc he's banned from entering the capital:
• which in turn will make Vietse the next patriarch of Lombardi which will greatly benefit the emperor (he can have the lombardi neath dureli)
• real motive: Empress can ensure Astana's spot as the crown prince
○ In the end, Rulac was able to attend the meeting and oppose the law bc Tia and Perez entered a contractual engagement that satisfied the emperor to have a Lombardi engaged with a Dureli:
• Jovaness can still have Lombardi under him through union of tia and perez
• he will not be forced to name Astana as his heir
