"You don't know who you are engaged to?" Ning looked at him with a confused look on his face. "How could you not?"

"I wasn't involved in the engagement. My father made the choice for me," the young man said. 

"When did this happen?" Ning asked.

"About 2 months ago, maybe? I'm not sure. I only learned about it a few weeks ago when butler Kwan came and told me about it," the young man said.

"What the hell? You haven't seen the girl you are going to marry or even know about her, and yet you agreed to marry her?" 

Saphandra who was sitting quite far away was attracted by Ning's loud conversation with Trevain.

Trevain's face turned red when he realized that Saphandra had learned about this, but he couldn't hide his face anywhere.

"Why don't you say no?" Ning asked.

"I… I can't. He's the duke. I… I can't refuse the duke's orders," the young man said and started playing with the bracelet on his wrist.
