As one would expect the Lamia queen's declaration took all the nobles by surprise, in fact this also applied to Ferris and Naomi, the plan they knew about was that their mother would announce that either one or both of them would be engaged with Daimon, this was left completely to the discretion of Mirellia and Daimon, it would be done based on how things developed.
Seeing the though practically impossible to notice from afar, still existing reddish tone on her mother's cheeks, Ferris gave her young sister who was glaring at Daimon, a deathly gaze, making her shrink back into her seat.
'Humph, I bet he must have been the one to told mom to say that', thought Naomi but she still didn't dare to go against her older sister's serious gaze.
Ferris on the other hand felt the surprise around Daimon a second earlier, so she was sure he had nothing to do with her mother's sudden change of plan.
