There was someone else in her heart she couldn't forget despite all the years that had passed.
Anne smoothed her expression and spoke in a level voice, "You are now the grand general of Findara, so you must constantly be getting marriage proposals from a lot of higher ranked nobles. Why are you settling for me?"
