The Crown mansion suddenly became quiet as soon as the lady left. Everyone felt lethargic, especially the duke, who spent hours staring at the same document since morning. He had been thinking about what to do to keep the lady by his side without worrying about her parents. Of course, marriage was the answer, but given their position, they couldn't easily get married even if they wanted to.
Calista La Forte was the center of noble ladies, and even her slightest activity should be perfect. To marry a lady of her caliber, the duke knew he should prepare a grand wedding. To make it a grand one, he had to discuss it with the lady's parents, and listen to their opinions at the same time. The emperor and the empress would also be coming to their wedding, making it harder for him to rush the event. It wasn't simple. If it was, he would have already married the lady.
