Cassandra's eyes widened as she could not bring herself to answer.
The Empress took the advantage of this as she looked at the ladies standing beside her. "They will be the witness. If your man does not want to marry you then I will help you get married in a good family."
Cassandra had no other option than to agree but she did not say a word. In the eyes of others, it was a move of refusal.
[The Empress is being so generous. But Why isn't the Princess replying?]
[How can she be so willful?]
[The fifth Princess doesn't have any power yet refused to reply to the Empress, so arrogant.]
[If I had a daughter like this I would have long married her off. Why is the Empress even asking the fifth Princess her opinion? The Empress is so understanding and generous.]
