Alexander was very happy at the surprising ease with which he managed to navigate around this mistake, something that was frankly his.

He was especially glad at the fact that it was Lady Felicia herself who bought up the idea, as it saved Alexander all the trouble and further any misunderstanding.

For if he had been the one to ask it himself, the other party might have misinterpreted the request as Alexander not liking Fabiyana and thus the excuse.

Whereas now, with Lady Felicia's blessing, Alexander could push this 'few years' agreement as far as he liked.

After all eight to ten years was still technically 'few years'.

'In the meantime, she can be an elder sister for Alexandria and the others,' Alexander then off-handedly thought about what the girl could do during this time.

While Alexander and Lady Felicia discussed these details, the one who was at the center of all this, Fabiyana, did not seem such concerned.
