[Elizabeth's Engagement Party] [10] Engaged

"I thank everyone for accepting my invitation to today's great event," Duncan Tapes spoke loudly, drawing everyone's attention. 

I stood beside Elizabeth near him.

"After my son's and daughter-in-law's death, I thought I'd never be happy again, but I soon realized I was mistaken. The moment I saw my two granddaughters, I knew joy again. They have both grown up beautifully, and today, the time has come to entrust one of them, Elizabeth, to a trustworthy man. I vouch for him. Son of Kleines Falkrona and Alea Olphean, younger brother of Connor Olphean and Christina Olphean. You must have all heard of him already, I'm quite sure," Duncan chuckled.

Well, you bet they heard of me. I had been in the news for two weeks in a row. Quite embarrassing, to say the least.

"Amael Idea Olphean," Duncan said, pointing toward me.

They all turned to look at me.

I smiled awkwardly, not enjoying this embarrassing presentation.
