The Great Pretender

"William, you do know your father wants the young lady for you, right? I still find it intriguing that you do not fancy the lady. She is beautiful, very much talented, liked by many, and her family is pretty much wealthy enough to buy the Bernards Co." The servant said.

Will just sighed and he slipped the ring back in his pockets. He rubbed his temples and then replied, "I just don't like her, James. Yes, she is, perhaps, one of the brightest and fairest maidens in town -"

"- and all the other neighboring towns too." James interjected.

Wow, I'm beginning to feel like they are giving Katarina more compliments than she deserves.

"Yes, and all the other bachelors seek her hand in marriage yadah-yadah… but I just feel like she isn't the one, James. There is something that isn't right about the lady. She seems to be… so cunning." William finally said.
