Samael and I stood on the central plane of the bifurcated stairs of the mansion's great hall. From the floor below the stairs, Mister Fabian, the butler, the acting duke, Rufus, and all other important individuals in this manor stared at the duke with utter horror.
Seeing their reaction, I secretly curled my hands into a fist. I clenched on the rear of my dress, glancing at Samael's side profile every so often.
"Pardon me, My Lord. But, I believed my ears had been deceiving me." Said Rufus sternly.
His brows furrowed together. Rufus glanced at everyone who was standing with him, noticing the exact shock expression plastered on their faces.
"No, you heard me right. I'm getting married." Calm like usual, Samael waved as he chuckled. He added;
"Grimsbanne will have to welcome the first and the only duchess it will ever have."
