Members of the Bernstein family have long been considered national treasures due to their ability to read and recall vast amounts of information for the benefit of the kingdom, but at the same time the Bernstein's have always insisted on remaining politically neutral, so when young Christopher revealed his wish to marry her, Elianna's grandfather rejected Christopher's proposal and young Elianna was confined to the Bernstein estate.
