Aimee's First Impression of Arielle

Aimee lowered her gaze, and she smiled dejectedly. "I will tell you the truth, Your Highness. After I graduated from the academy last year, I didn't have any goals. No matter how much I studied and had a lot of knowledge, my father would never let me work. My dream was to become a teacher, but my father turned it down. And a few months ago, my father planned to marry me off to a son of a Duke.

"At that moment, my hope to build a school and become a teacher had shattered. I also tried to run away to prove to my parents that I could live without a title. Then, Kael helped me to negotiate with my parents. I would come back home on the condition that they would not marry me off again.

"For me, if I can't do the job I want, then at least I want to marry the man I love. However, until now I hadn't found that particular man. All the men I met were completely unreliable. They always showed their disinterest when I expressed my desire to work after marriage.
