Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Engagement

“No, the book must be wrong, we can do that when you’re ready,”

“O-okay,” Trecia had a flushed face.

[Master, try to say it’s the truth I’m sure she doesn’t refuse] Woli giggles.

I just ignored what Woli said. Trecia hugged my hand, we talked about a lot of things. This time she talked about all the bad memories she had, I always heard her. Trecia looked calm, even though memories she spoke of were bad ones.

After we finished talking, we headed to her room. When maids saw this, they looked astonished, for the young lady was in a good mood, different than usual. Plus right now young lady was hugging a man’s hand with a happy smile. This made them wonder, who was that man?

Arriving in her room, Trecia told me to come inside, we read many books she had. Trecia was happy because she could talk to me about things she liked. After nightfall, we were called by the maid to the dining room.

When Reynold saw his daughter hugging my arm he was startled and narrowed his eyes at me. But when he saw his daughter had a happy smile, he calmed down and sighed. He thought this was better than seeing his daughter glum all time.

I sat in the chair, Trecia sat beside me. Reynold put his hands together, he looked at me with a smile, but his eyes showed something different.

“Hey kid, what did you do to my daughter?”

“D-daddy, I want to marry Lute!!” Trecia shouted

[Hohoho she’s very straightforward] Woli nodded.

Instantly room temperature froze, even I was surprised to hear this. Trecia frankly made our relationship clear. Reynold was speechless, he looked at both of us with a dumbfounded face.

“Wait Trecia? You just said you wanted to marry Lute?” Reynolds asked in surprise.

“That’s right, I love Lute, I don’t want anyone but him,” Trecia said seriously.

Reynold held his head, he tried to process what had just happened. He looked at me with a deep gaze.

“Hey kid, do you know anything about this?”

“Err… just like Trecia said, we love each other, she’s not lying,”

“Wait, when did your relationship start?” Reynolds asked.

“I-I’ve liked Lute since five years ago, we just made our relationship clear just now,” Trecia said shyly.

Reynold was dumbfounded to see his daughter acting coy, plus he didn’t know at all that his daughter liked someone all this time. After all, he worked almost every day and had little time for his daughter. But when he saw his daughter who looked happy with me, he couldn’t resist. Reynold remained silent for a few minutes before he made his decision.

“Hey kid, follow me,” Reynold said to me.

“Father, where are you taking Lute?” Trecia looked worried.

“This is just a conversation between men,”

“It’s okay Trecia, I also want to clarify our relationship,” I said.

Trecia saw me calm her down, just nodded, but she still looked worried. Reynold took me to look at the night sky, he let out a deep breath.

“I was not a good father to my daughter, after the death of their mother when Trecia was 9 years old, things didn’t go well. I didn’t have much time to be with them, our relationship was getting worse. Trecia was only taken care of by her older sister, and look at it until now, our relationship hasn’t improved at all,” Reynold smiled bitterly.

“Of course I know how hard it is to be royalty, uncle, this is why I never wanted to be part of a noble family. Because it’s troublesome, but if it’s for my woman I’ll accept it.”

I shrugged to say the truth, Reynold laughed softly at me. He then thought back to his past, when he met his wife. At that time he was just a naughty boy, who liked to skip class until he met his wife. Since then, he was fascinated by her beauty and personality, it changed him from being a naughty boy to a diligent child. He really understands how love can change a person’s personality.

“Kid, do you love my daughter?” Reynolds asked seriously.

“Of course uncle, I love Trecia, you don’t have to doubt our relationship. I want to ask for your approval, uncle, and I have one thing you need to hear because it really concerns our future relationship,” I said seriously.

“One thing? What’s that?” Reynolds was curious.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at Reynolds seriously.

“I have other women besides Trecia,”

“What??”

Reynold was startled, he held my shoulder tightly, there was even a cracking sound from my bones. It’s just that I didn’t feel any pain at all even though he was holding my shoulder tightly.

“You, have you told Trecia about this?” Reynold asked as if he would be angry.

“Of course I told her, uncle. she also accepted me even though she knew I had another woman,”

Reynold backed up holding his head, he was feeling dizzy right now. He didn’t know whether to accept this or not, but if he refused, his daughter would definitely be very sad. It’s just that man his daughter loves has another woman, he feels it will be bad for his daughter.

Reynold asked the maid to call his daughter here, he needed more clarity from these two couples. When Trecia was here, she immediately embraced my arm with a happy face.

“Trecia, didn’t you know he had another woman, why did you accept him?” Reynolds asked in confusion.

“Father, I don’t care that Lute has another woman, as long as I have him that’s enough for me. After all, I’m not as good as other kids. But Lute accepts me as I am, I don’t care if other people say bad things about me, I just need Lute,” Trecia hugged my arms tighter.

Reynold could see how much Trecia loved me, she didn’t even care that I had another woman. Taking a deep breath he finally made up his mind. He looked at the two of us and nodded his head.

“I see, I’ll take it, but Lute if you make Trecia sad, you’ll know consequences,” Reynold narrowed his eyes.

“Trust me, I’ll make Trecia happy,” I patted my chest.

“And also because you’re still kids, although I know people usually get married when they’re 16. But for us nobles, we’ll get you engaged for now.”

Trecia looked pleased, and for me of course, I accepted. Getting engaged was a natural thing to happen among nobles.

“Your the engagement will take place a week from now, I’ll be sending letters to some nobles as well as Nola, I hope she won’t be angry when she comes back here,” Reynold chuckled.

I thought back to a woman with blonde hair with a few strands of purple hair, she also had amethyst-colored eyes but even though she was beautiful, her personality was very bad.
