Prime Minister Xavier didn’t say anything for a while. Afterward, he said, “What if we narrow our choices between Clark and Hugh only, my king? I am confident with both of them.” “About their loyalties, I am sure, but it is about marriage. I don’t want to let them have an unhappy marriage. So let me seek Emilia’s advice first about this.” Prime Minister Xavier nodded and smiled. “Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for thinking of my son’s life and happiness too.” King Jordan smiled. “I think of Clark as one of my nephews though we have no blood related, Xavier. As much as I love and care for Joshua, Hugh, and Albert, I also love and care for Clark the same.” Prime Minister Xavier bent his head in respect to King Jordan. “It is a great blessing for Clark to receive Your Majesty’s favor.”
