Intruder at the door

Fang gave a hearty laugh on hearing my strained answer, something that I was not used to hearing and said, "do you want me to kneel on one knee in front of you and ask for it holding a diamond ring?" 

My eyes dropped in a 'seriously' expression. Fang was rich and though I was supposed to be richer than him, I was not. My mother cut even the little allowance I had before telling me that money was enough and if I had saved it good for me, or I can always return to the dungeons. But there was a need for Fang to casually rub it in my face that he was a rich man.

Or was he planning to actually arrange a proposal for me? Knowing Fang, he might even do that. I had to stop from those thoughts even popping into his head.
