I accept it

Duke Grasitias looked at archduke Thawne with enlarged eyes. He had heard about the rumor that a woman was calling her as the future wife of Leonardo, but he did not take it seriously even when his daughter warned him. He was sure that his daughter would handle a commoner like Evangeline.

With the status Thawyne family had in the capital, all the eyes were set on him. So, he was sure that they would not dare to marry their single son to a commoner even when they wanted to, especially when the recent marriage of their daughter with the crown prince is on the point of breaking up.

But announcing Evangeline, his daughter in law in front of everyone caught him off guard. In fact, he was not the only one, every noble was looking at Duke Thawne with shock in their eyes.

"Your excellency, i thought that you are considering Olivia as the wife of Leo." he asked directly as he had always thought that marriage was set in stone.
