The Reason I Made Her My Queen - Chapter 16
King Ramiro, renowned for leading the Fabra Kingdom to prosperity.
His first official queen consort is said to have been Princess Elvira of the Carnia Kingdom.
However, this marriage was annulled. The reason was that Princess Elvira had brought a maid from her homeland into the royal harem, but when the maid gave birth to a prince, her true origins were revealed.
Princess Petronila, Princess Elvira’s half-sister.
In her homeland, she was looked down upon by those around her due to her birth mother’s low status. Even her family kept their distance, and after her birth mother passed away, she was treated no better than a servant. Not even the common people sympathized with Princess Petronila’s plight.
It was because of these circumstances that she accompanied her half-sister as a maid.
Though born of a lesser consort, she was undoubtedly a princess.
Furthermore, when it was discovered that Princess Petronila possessed the lost “Rainbow Eyes,” nations far and wide expressed outrage at her treatment. This shook the very foundations of the Carnia Kingdom.
King Ramiro presented the Carnia Kingdom with two demands: “the annulment of the marriage with Princess Elvira” and “marriage with Princess Petronila.”
The Carnia Kingdom earnestly deliberated on the matter. However, they were given no real room for consideration and quietly complied with the orders.
The Carnia Kingdom changed its name to a duchy and began anew as a nation.
King Ramiro formally married Princess Petronila.
He placed her in the position of queen consort.
Although the king had many concubines in his harem, he deeply loved his queen consort and eventually abolished the harem altogether.
The queen consort was the only woman to whom King Ramiro ever opened his heart.
Humble and wise, the queen consort supported the king from behind the scenes.
It is said that King Ramiro often heeded her counsel and implemented it in his governance.
