Excerpt:
"Let me go to university," said Sophie tensely. She failed to hide her expectant face.
"I will get an official title as a perfume expert and have a name in the capital. You can be my exclusive sponsor," Sophie offered again.
"Not a bad idea, princess," Thaddeus smiled, a little sarcastically.
"Are you serious about enrolling in university? Your highness, you should start living at my house next month," he continued.
"I want, at least before I get married, I have a degree and a career, it's all also for the benefit of Caleigh's family," said Sophie again. She felt, maybe Thaddeus wasn't as bad as she imagined. Maybe, Thaddeus could even give her the facilities she dreamed of.
"Then beg," said Thaddeus with a calm expression as he smiled at her.
"Huh?"
"I need to get you back on your feet, your highness. You may think too highly of yourself. Do you want to become a professional perfumer? Ok, but I want to remind you of your position again,"
"You are facing your future husband, a duke. So beg, beg me until you realize your worth and remember that your life is mine," said Thaddeus which immediately caused feelings of frustration in Sophie's heart.
