If Arthur remembered correctly, the two princes ahead of Prince Juan in the line of succession had both apparently renounced their claims to the throne in 1933.
Although this scene had yet to occur, making it happen would not be difficult.
With this in mind, Arthur did not stop Anna and Prince Juan from falling in love. In the end, the two finally reached the stage of engagement.
At the end of 1933, Arthur finally met Spain's last king, Alfonso XIII.
After the two discussed the matter, the engagement of Prince Juan and Princess Anna was also scheduled for the beginning of the following year.
This was a good thing for both sides. As far as Arthur was concerned, Princess Anna had found someone she loved, which was the best possible outcome for Anna, a princess of the royal family.
As for Alfonso XIII, his son had found him a powerful ally, which would greatly aid his plan to restore the monarchy.
Although Australasia was quite far from Spain, it was at least recognized as the world's third-greatest power.
That level of strength was more than enough to support his restoration, which was why Alfonso XIII smiled almost throughout the entire meeting, his expression utterly sincere.
Meanwhile, the outside media unanimously commented that the union of the two royal families was Spain's Royal Family marrying above its station.
One royal family had lost its throne, while the other had only just become an imperial family. Their positions were naturally worlds apart.
To say nothing of the fact that Spain itself was merely a second-rate European country, whereas Australasia was one of the world's foremost nations.
It was like the richest man in an ordinary city marrying one of the three richest men in the country—the one marrying above his station
