Inside the Azure Flame Kingdom, the palace was designed in a way where at the center was the palace belonging to the king, with its surrounding being four different palaces.
Existing in four directions, the north one belonged to Princess Aleriana.
The west one, near it, belonged to Empress Dowagar, who was unexpectedly the sister of the present king.
Mostly, the marriages, even in aristocracy, were based on individual choices rather than family decisions.
Simply because if the individuals who were about to get married denied the fact, then they could simply choose another faction that would recognize their potential and value their demands.
This would often result in switching their family names, making it a very big loss for the family members, as they could lose affiliation with that individual.
To put it simply, if a woman had enough potential to grow into a strong cultivator, then she had complete rights regarding her decisions about whom she wanted to marry.
