87 do it my style

Marianne (pov)

I did not understand what made Cassius come here and sit with us. I had already sent a thank you note with lunch to him in his chamber, then why was he here? Did he not hate the crowd! Then why was he here trying to enter into the conversation, which was not related to him anyway?

If it would have been past, I would have been blushing, laughing and trying my best to be a good hostess and make him feel comfortable, but now his presence only annoyed me.

And if this was not enough, he wanted to celebrate our anniversary, so that the nobles would not talk, did he forget he had left me in the middle of our wedding party alone, or he had not danced with me in any ball party till now. When had nobles not talked about us, we had always been talk of the town!

'Marianne, the archduchess, who only got married because she was rich.

Duke and Duchess don't like each other.
