What are you going to do?
Touch your favorite.
Yenid caught the hint behind the words.
It was a tactic hed often used before they were engaged.
But if we put conditions on her, she might take unexpected action.
Maybe its best to leave her alone for now, shes barely walking on thin line.
Were going to do things a little differently this ti, which is why Im giving her a choice.
When you say choice
Ill let her choose between profit and loss.
Yenid seed to think for a mont, then understood completely.
If the only option was a loss, Hannett would rebel.
But if he added profit as an option, she would avoid losing money as a matter of course.
Thats a good idea. Shell rebel, but shell still want to profit.
Just making an effort to gain profit is already sufficient.
But we need Sion to help us.
It doesnt matter if I tell him the circumstances and get his cooperation, well be working together after all.
One way or another, your will be accomplished.
In a way, it makes our share of the financial expense of the marriage more costly, but thats the least I can do as a Duke.
One way or another, Robbins was going to get Harnett married.
If he missed this opportunity, he might never be able to have a marriage with the Marquis.
Although there was a second option, the Earl, but he didnt want to take the hard way.
Things are going well now, and if youre right, Sion will overlook whatever Harnet does.
Even so, I am a little worried. Drinking and gambling make you look vulgar.
No. It could be the other way round.
Are you saying he might like it?
Not everyones personality is the sa, and just because soone is a noble doesnt an they only like cultured young ladies.
You an a commoner woman?
There are nobles who like pure, simple won. Wouldnt you get tired of seeing the sa thing all the ti?
Ah
Of course, I couldnt say that Hannett fit the description.
However, she never behaved like a typical noble young lady, instead acting as she pleased.
Thats why she looked so much like a commoner woman, yet stood out as an unusual noble.
We are lucky. Who would have thought that this painstakingly handpicked Marquiss son would take a liking to my daughter?
Then do you think it would be better to leave the Hannett alone?
Leave her alone, but interfere a little, so that the wedding may be hastened.
At the Marquis request, the engagent had been extended to six months.
This ant that the wedding could not take place for six months, unless sothing changed before then.
During that ti, Sion Laird could change his mind, or sothing could happen that would force him to break off the engagent.
Well have to be pretty generous with Sion.
Of course. If he needs anything, give it to him imdiately. If we want him to see only Hanette, we need to distract him from thinking of anything else.
Robbins is relieved, but he cant shake the worry.
When things are going better than expected, problems are bound to appear.
Its at tis like these that he has to keep a sharp eye on everything around him.
Once I can deal with Hanette, I can get over this hurdle
For Robbins, the Hanette was a scarred finger.
Even if you have all your fingers in order, if one of them is injured, the problem starts with the hand itself.
His children were his precious fingers, and Hanette was the only one broken.
Thats why he paid extra attention to her and tried to heal his hand completely.
How can I get rid of a sore finger? he says, But I have to keep it.
Of course, he was being greedy with Hanette.
She was part of the family before she was his child.
But he also wanted her to live happily, which was why he had arranged her betrothal with the Marquess.
Ill have to look into Sion a bit more. Maybe sothing will co of it.
