"I accept your proposal, Duke Edgar. Father, I would like to marry the duke."
Desmond was surprised to hear Alessandra accept Edgar's proposal, but he kept himself reserved. "Alessandra, the duke is not an ordinary man. You'll be in the spotlight after you marry him. Why don't you take some time to think about it, hmm?"
Desmond tried to usher her back into her bedroom, but Edgar placed his foot to block him from going near Alessandra.
A small smile appeared on Alessandra's face upon hearing this. For the duke to propose to anyone's daughter was a great honor, but as it was her and not Kate, her father was against it. Typical.
"I don't need time to think about it father. I wish to marry the duke," Alessandra said, ignoring the look her father gave her for not listening. She looked at the duke instead. "I would be honored to be your wife, Duke Edgar."
