Was this another scapegoating tactic of Gabriel?
Using me to free himself from this marriage contract with his fiancé/cousin-in-law?
"I want Aurora to know what she was getting into the moment before she decided if she wanted to be with me. I want to call off your agreement with Reinesse's father even if he was your first friend when you moved to the House of Cups. I will not marry my cousin-in-law." Gabriel said with a tone of finality.
"What House do you belong to, Cornelius?" I questioned instead, trying to change the subject.
I wasn't comfortable talking about marriage with Gabriel and with his family.
And in front of his fiance/cousin-in-law.
I fought the urge to shake my head in embarrassment.
I can see that Cornelius was confused about where to give his attention. Maybe, Gabriel's statement was so bizarre that it flew right out of his father's mind, replying to my question instead.
