"Most certainly not. I am truly in love with your daughter, Lord Edward. I have come here to ask for your permission in continuing seeing her," Hansel said.
"And what will you do if I do not give you permission?" Lord Edward asked.
His glare was intimidating but Hansel was not about to back down.
"I shall continue seeing her," Hansel said.
"Even without her father's permission?" Lord Edward asked.
"It will be be truly unfortunate that you haven't given us permission but it doesn't mean I will stop seeing your daughter. I truly love her. I am sure your daughter would be happy to have her dear father see her in her wedding day," Hansel said.
Rubiella gasped.
Lord Edward's frown deepened.
"Wedding day? You are already planning to marry my daughter?" Lord Edward asked.
"Yes, shouldn't that be the goal of courtship in the end? I am in love with her and I wish to marry her," Hansel said.
