Benjamin didn't get back to Oxford, but he kept contacting Anthony, and receiving his friend's advice. Now, Benjamin could put Anthony as his best friend. The man was very nice and hardly they disagreed on anything. Never they would fight.
Anthony told Benjamin to stop pursuing Louisa, for she was happy with Michael and if Benjamin got in the way, not only would he ruin himself, but also her. Seeing how she interacted with the Duke, Benjamin realised he might not have a place in her life anymore and that was when he decided to try to know more about Fanny.
"Give her a chance. You spoke so nicely of her. Maybe she is the woman that will make you happy." Anthony said. Benjamin agreed. He was going to try to be happy with what he had within his own reach. He had to marry, in order to save his family. And now, he had to find a way to pay off the debt. At least, part of it, so his father would be able to live a bit more and Iontach would remain in his family's hands.
