Daemon sat alone in his dark room, deep in thought. He was having a secret conversation with his father's ghostly figure, trying to come up with a plan to win Eleanor back. Lord David's ghostly form stood by the window, offering advice.
"Accept the marriage proposal and move to Yarnton," he suggested. Daemon looked puzzled.
"But I don't want to marry Lilian. I only want to be with Eleanor. I can't accept it. I will not betray my wife again"
Lord David chuckled.
"And you will have Eleanor. But first, you need to play it smart. Accept the proposal, ease your mother's worries, and pretend to be interested in Lilian. Your move to Yarnton is just a temporary step to get closer to Eleanor." Daemon thought about it and saw the genius in his father's plan.
He would pretend to accept the proposal, move to Yarnton, and use the opportunity to win Eleanor back. With a sly smile, Daemon rushed to his mother's chambers.
