Unfortunately, that daughter is Lia: headstrong, opinionated, and not at all willing to go through with the (stupid) traditions of her parents religion. The relations with their neighboring countries are tentative at best, violent at worse, which means the marriage of the royal family's First Daughter to the prince of a neighboring kingdom is of grave importance.
