"Yes, I know that you did not want to marry me, so I asked my imperial mother to talk to my father.

Even Oli was not sure if he was getting pissed or worried for her.
"It does not matter, I will get a decent dowry from the family. As long as we will not starve, I do not care." she tried to stand straighter as she felt the air around her turned heavier.
