"He has always wanted to marry Lady Matruska," she said briefly. "From the very beginning."
Liona, who was sitting beside them, suddenly chuckled.
"Not just wanted," she replied casually. "A few days before that... before he asked for… my unwashed underwear."
Silvara almost choked on the spot, and Lucas was slightly taken aback as well.
Liona simply shrugged, looking relaxed as she told the story.
"I saw it myself," she continued. "He begged the Baroness. Literally begged—almost crying—asking her to send a marriage proposal letter to Lady Matruska."
Lucas went quiet for a moment, then asked in a low voice,
"Wait… he was that obsessed with a woman named Matruska?"
"Yes," Silvara answered without hesitation.
Lucas lowered his head slightly. His thoughts started spinning again.
Everything's getting weirder now.
Damn it… especially that face—
Silvara turned toward him. "Why? Are you interested too?"
