Chapter 5

"Yes," Mira said softly, her strange brown eyes twisted in a Loise. "I have a choice. As much as any woman who has no income at all, there is no other way to fight for her freedom, not an opportunity to escape". Mira's tone of voice does not show emotion, like a doll. "You are better than the choice" last sentence loaded with disgust.

"Who?" Loise doesn't like to imagine Mira with other men, even though Loise just met the girl almost a week ago. Since then, the Mira belongs to him. Only his.

Mira's full lips pursed. "You have met him. Murar"

"He is very old" Loise recalled his meeting with the oil merchant who was a close friend of Mira's father. He did not like to see Murar because the man utterly glanced at the lyrics of Mira, who acted as the hostess at the banquet held. Loise could hardly bear to see the old man struggling not to lick his lips.

Burned by possessive anger that he actually didn't have the right to feel, Loise walked away while holding back from punching Murar's reddish face. "Why does your father want to consider it a match for you?" Although he himself was not too handsome, Loise knew he was more valuable to the Bordeaux family because of his wealth and business status.

"Noble, bloodied nobility. Not direct descendants, but still bloody blue "Mira's mouth bent in a cynical smile. "My father always wanted to have a relationship with the royal family"

Another slap for Loise-self can be considered equal to the lowest swamp rat. "Then why did he accept me?"

"In the eyes of my father, you are an American nobleman. Also, the man whose wealth is worthy of calculation, you do business with our sheik and are welcomed at his house - it can be considered close enough to the royal family and make him happy "

Loise clenched his hands tightly, feeling frustrated and angry. And hurt. Why does it hurt when this beautiful woman rejects it? Why does he feel as if something invaluable apart from his grasp? "So that's just what made you choose me? Because I'm not old and fat? "He didn't say what they both knew. Although he is not old and fat, his face and body are deformed.

The grate is a thin white stripe along the left side of the face Loise. His body has much deeper scarring. He has gotten used to the scarring for a long time, awakening his confidence above things that are more important, but this beautiful, beautiful princess must have seen it. When the Mira receives his proposal, Loise thinking that all the grated is not a problem for the Mira. Now Loise realizes that she has cheated herself. There is no warmth in the beautiful eyes for this ugly one.

Mira nodded gracefully and the glow of light from a tiny detail perfectly reflected the diamond hanging on the ear of the Mira. "I do not know you. You're a stranger, my father might not let you date me, but you don't even try to talk to me though! "

In fact, Loise has been asked several times to be allowed to talk to the Mira before the wedding, but he accepts the explanation that her father said that this was not unusual in Kranon. Because they do not understand the wedding ritual in this country, feel afraid to commit violations and lose the opportunity to have a Mira. That's not the reason, Loise thought furiously. I should try harder.
