Scarlet stared at Keira like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing, brows scrunching up. "Is love really that important? Girl, wake up. Men are the last thing you should count on!"

Keira didn’t even flinch. "Solomon’s different."

Scarlet shot her a look like she’d completely lost it. "I swear, I’m this close to tossing you into the ocean and letting the sharks handle it."

Keira raised a brow but didn’t respond. Before she could, Scarlet’s assistant jumped in.

"Hey, do you even know who Miss South is around here? Lemme give you a little crash course."

Keira had been dying to know more about the South family, and now someone had just offered it up on a silver platter. She nodded right away. "Please, go ahead."

The assistant puffed up proudly. "This whole island—our home base—has over twenty million people. We’re more than just a family; we’re a sovereign state. The South family? We’re the uncrowned rulers of South Country."

Keira nodded. That part she already knew. She turned to Scarlet, eyeing her curiously. "So... you’re a South too?"

Scarlet tilted her chin up, like it should’ve been obvious.

Keira added, "Direct bloodline?"

Scarlet coughed. "Not exactly."

The assistant scoffed. "Do you think you can just bump into a direct descendant on the street? Get real. But don’t get it twisted—Miss South might not be one of the nine heiresses, but among the extended family? She’s top-tier. Her dad’s a South through and through. Practically siblings with the mothers of those nine heirs. Got it now?"

Keira nodded slowly. "Got it."

In this country, women held the highest power. The current leader and all nine official heirs were women. But of course, that didn’t mean men didn’t exist—they just didn’t hold succession rights. When the sons married out, they kept the South name, but their kids? Not considered part of the core bloodline.

Keira hesitated. "So... who exactly is Miss South’s father related to?"

The South family didn’t pass power down to sons, but that didn’t mean men weren’t involved. A man could father dozens of children, but a woman? She only had so many chances. So in the end, "direct line" just meant daughters.
