"So why did you want to come and see me, Lord Vaan?" Henrietta asked again after recovering her calmness and adapting to Vaan's presence.
"That's a strange question to ask, Your Majesty, Henrietta," Vaan casually replied with a sly smile before mentioning, "Didn't you want to marry me and become my dual-practice partner?"
"What?"
Henrietta's mind went blank for a moment before her face turned bright red from surprise and embarrassment, causing her to stagger several steps backward.
"Y-You…! How do you know about that?" Henrietta pointed her trembling finger at him as she asked in shock.
But at the same time, she couldn't look him straight in the eye. Thus, she averted her gaze elsewhere.
"Once again, you ask something strange, Your Majesty," Vaan replied with a calm smile, suddenly taking bold steps forward.
