While I was escorted down the hallways towards a location I did not know, I attempted to silence my thoughts and wipe my face. I can't believe I agreed to this…
I don't have the right to refuse this chance, however. Kenji has done enough for me. I've lived enough of a free life.
My father approached a servant that was standing at attention in the middle of the hallway. When the two of them stood before each other, my father pulled an envelope out of his suit jacket pocket and handed it to the servant.

"W-What was that?" I asked. My voice is still a bit hoarse from my screaming earlier, not to mention the fact that I almost cried, so it's still wavering a bit when I speak.
"It was the marriage proposal." He didn't even look at me when he answered.
