Chapter 711 Completed Deal

Count Vendrick seeing how upset Marcus had become over the marriage proposal he had put forth, backed down immediately.

"Excuse me, it seems that was out of line. I had heard that you refused any such talks of marriage, but it seems that you dislike the idea more than I could have guessed. Please feel free to disregard what I said. It is of no consequence." 

His smile returning, Marcus was happy that the viceroy did not push the issue any further, as he had no intention of ever getting married as Irene.

'I already have a fiancée I am in love with. I certainly would not want to have to juggle two partners. Especially if one was a guy.'

With any talks of marriage now thrown out, some of the viceroy's servants began preparing some light refreshments for a quick celebration while the magical contract was being written up.
