Each time Henry thought of his future, he couldn't hold himself back from picturing Irene at his side through each endeavor. He wondered if that's what she wanted as well, but he didn't want to push his wild dreams on her.
Oftentimes, he considered how young she was and how early she was in her career as a knight. He didn't want to miss out on her life but he didn't want to force himself into the picture because she wasn't equipped to deny the first man she had ever shown romantic interest in.
During the banquet at the Auden Estate, Henry heard a man say that a wife was a reflection of the husband. If there was one person he wouldn't mind representing him, it was Irene.
