"Mom, I love him."
"It does not matter what you like or love. You are a part of the Telegard family. Do you know the reason why we are as powerful as we are?" Jerrica asked
"Yes, I do, and I have no interest in participating in your breeding program. I love the man I love, and I will not follow the stupid rules of this stupid family." Jessa stormed out of her mother's office.
Jerrica sighed. "You will understand one day, my child."
When Jessa approached her mother, Jin's grandmother, about who she wanted to marry, Jerrica did not accept it. Their family had such powerful genes that they had to have at most two kids per family to not disrupt the balance of power in their country.
Jerrica had already talked to a family, one with powerful genes, to marry their son off to her daughter, but Jessa went against that by getting with a guy from humble roots.
