Chapter 2: Aftermath of the Proposal

A full week had passed since the assassination attempt at the ball, and yet Estelle remained at Marquess Rogell’s mansion. The wound on her left arm had all but closed up. Regrettably, just as the doctor had predicted, it was healing in a way that would leave a scar. The bullet had ripped right through her skin, which made the wound close in an unsightly bulge.

The reason for Estelle’s continued stay at the mansion even after her recovery was the fact Arcrayne had proposed to her after she had revealed herself as an Awoken.

When Sirius learned she had regained consciousness and came to check on her, Arcrayne officially asked for her hand in marriage.

Rosalia was a patriarchy. Women couldn’t receive higher education, and without special permission from the kingdom, they couldn’t inherit titles or their family’s fortune either. Decisions with regards to their marriage were also made by the head of the family.

Sirius, the head of the Flozeth household, agreed to the marriage without a second thought. It was partially due to the fact that Estelle claimed to be happy after the prince fell in love with her at first sight—a story she’d had to make up to keep her power a secret from Sirius—but also the fact that he easily accepted Arcrayne’s believable fabrication.

Remembering it gave Estelle a headache and made her press her fingers to her temple. Not only was Arcrayne a smooth talker; he was outright wicked. He had made it so that in Sirius’s mind, Arcrayne was a veritable Prince Charming who had been in love with Estelle from the moment he saw her.
