Dangerous Fiancee

Chapter 110

"Sir Chester, if you're going back to the mansion right now..."

"No. wait for me here."

Ober coldly passed by the servant waiting for him at the entrance of the main palace.

Just looking ahead, he walked down the stairs.

The approaching shadow also slowed down its pace as if it also sensed Ober's slow pace.

"I'm honored to see you, Lady Marianne," Ober bowed to her elegantly.

"May God bless you. Please get up, sir."

Marianne hurriedly answered and asked him to stand up. Poibe, sitting on her arm, flew over and landed lightly on her shoulder.

"I was sorry yesterday. His Majesty recommended so strongly, I couldn't reject it..."

"It's fine. As he made the decision in consideration of your fatigue from the long journey, I think you would find it difficult to reject it."

"Thank you for understanding."

Marianne smiled brightly as if she was pleased. Cordelli, who supported her, looked at him with an unpleasant expression and laughed awkwardly after discovering that she smiled.

"Are you on your way to see the emperor?" asked Ober.

"Yeah. He wanted to discuss with me about the reception of our engagement ceremony..."

"Ah, you had an engagement ceremony. I was so surprised that I even forgot the purpose of your journey to Roshan."

"It's okay. If you're busy, you can sleep on it. As you said, so many terrible things happened. I still don't realize that I have been engaged."

While hearing her reply, Ober lowered his gaze slightly. The engagement ring on her left hand sparkled in the sun.

He recalled Mrs. Chester's warning last night.

"Bale, don't underestimate her. Too much trust will make you pay the dear price by all means. Love and vow are fleeting. Fear is the only weapon that will keep your power."

"How was your engagement ceremony? I heard you held a simple ceremony because the emperor was injured. Despite both of you were happy throughout the ceremony, I hear."

"Oh, that's..."

"You may not have had a ton of aftereffects of the accident — I'm glad you look okay and mature. I heard that you went out of your way to save the emperor while you were missing. Indeed, you have all the qualifications of the next empress."

"Not that..."

Marianne didn't finish; she had a troubled face.

Ober smiled softly and looked down at her. Ridicule and discomfort were always hidden in his kind smile.

"Can you give me some time? I have something to say to you."

In the end, Marianne gave in. Asking Cordelli to excuse her, she hurriedly led Ober to the shade of the garden.

The central garden in front of the main palace was large and spacious. Unlike the back garden, which was the emperor's private garden, it served as an intersection that could lead anywhere in the Lucio Imperial Palace. There were often lots of knights and a bunch of maids seen passing by the sculptures along the artificial waterway next to the garden.

Marianne pulled Ober into the shadow of the nearest sculpture. Poibe, sitting on her shoulder, flew away.

When she looked at the other side of the waterway, there were several attendants who were going back for a shift duty after lunch.
