"please marry me"
"sorry ... you're too good for me ... and I'm your zeon-sama knight"
"Is it because of my face?"
"..."
just a little nod from her ...
unlucky. this looks very sad .. she is the 8th female knight to reject me .. this is because of my stupidity for assuming the time we have spent will give birth to feelings of love but no .
and maybe the main reason is because of my face. i was a duke and willingly accepted the common people as my wife and that was for sure many women would come to me
but the reality is not
even my acquaintances of the other sex will not have the slightest feeling of love for me because who wants to marry a busamen? while they are surrounded by ikemen.
am I cursed to be born into a world where everyone has fair skin, colorful hair and eyes. but i have black hair and yellowish skin even small children often call me "yellow"
I hope my appearance is a curse..because the origin of my face is a hereditary factor. this all started when my ancestor a foreign immigrant came to this country with a strange face but with extraordinary abilities.
at first my ancestor was only a traveler but was recognized as a nobleman after his large contribution to the kingdom.
and slowly my family climbed to the top and here I am now. a duke which is the highest position in the world of nobility even in this country there are only 5 dukes. even though my face is ugly but I am proud to have a beautiful mother and so is my ancestor who married one of the princesses of the kingdom (well the predecessor factor I was able to get married because of political factors)
they are war heroes because we are nobles who have territories on the border in other words if there is a war then our territories have to face the enemy and all my predecessors managed to drive out the enemy army. therefore they were paired with several other noble families to forge closer ties
but ... the beautiful genes of their wives are not able to fight their genes .. therefore even though I have a beautiful mother but 0% of her beauty is not inherited by me. now is a time of peace so it is impossible for me to get a wife like my predecessor and I am afraid if my marriage fails because my grandfather until he dies, his wife does not love him. I hope grandpa lives calmly there
it was impossible for me to get a wife, let alone from among the nobility. but that's what I thought before 1 letter arrived which was a letter from baron Garba from a noble family that was in a state of crisis wrapped in debt and his biggest debt was with me because he always asked for a loan of money from me. and I thought his house wouldn't last long but I didn't think he would do this. above the letter clearly written
"Duke zeon-same as my debt settlement do you want to marry my daughter Dahlia Garba
