In the end, after talking to the Crown Princess, I still couldn't get any results. The woman was genuinely perplexed as to why I wanted to postpone the engagement, and said she didn't see any need for it.
«I would like to make you my official bride as soon as possible. Aren't you of the same opinion?»
Even though it wasn't a «full-fledged» wedding, but just an engagement, I was just as nervous about it. This was because the empire also attached great importance to this event. The engagement ceremony was considered an obligatory attribute before the wedding itself. And thus imposed certain obligations on two people.
In fact, breaking off the engagement would be no less difficult than the marriage itself. After all, it was an official presentation in front of people and god of your partner, with whom you are going to connect your life. And the ceremony that was held in honor of this was no less magnificent than the wedding itself.
