"Your best advantage is to marry her to the Loidite prince, but you can't bring yourself to do it, can you?" She knew her own twin would never accept anything less than what she considered the best for her sister, and HonorÃ¨ was the same way, except that HonorÃ¨ knew that ValÃ¨re had no inclination to marry. She'd seen how he'd reacted to the Loidites. She leaned her head on his shoulder. In some ways, he seemed so young to be taking on such a large responsibility, but it had happened before.<br/><br/>"You would need a wife who is politically smart in a time when there is such turmoil in your country, yet at the same time, she has to be impeccable in behavior. No offense, but your Anstarian women do not seem the type that most would be capable of being a partner to you. Will you look to other kingdoms? Not Loidite, perhaps, but there are many noble families in the world. Not all of whom are friendly towards magic. At the same time, if you fear magic as much as your Ritter Hex, it is a weak point for you. You can not learn the weaknesses of something if you fear it." She sighed, it always ended up as politics. But it was what she was here for, after all. She felt bad for the girl though.
