394 Queen Marianne's Request

By now, the whole capital already knew that the king's engagement with Lady Karenina Verhoven was annulled and they were no longer engaged to be married. Many people talked about the issues and their opinions were divided.

Some people thought Karenina was so unlucky and pathetic that the king could toss her away just like that without ever giving her the status she had been wanting for a long time.

Some, however,  thought she was brave and mature to still maintain a good relationship with the royal family after breaking off the engagement.

Now that the king suddenly introduced his sons to the public, the people started to connect the dots and made the assumption that the king's and Lady Karenina's relationship ended because of another woman.
