Ch43: Broken Bonds and New Beginnings

"Then?! What did you answer?!" Maddie rebuked in jolted up, frighted that Lady Vienna had deliberately cut part of her story. "Aw, Marquess Granville is indeed a manly man. Don't tell me you broke his heart, my lady. Marquess Granville is popular among the nobility. You can't just ignore him."

 

The problem is, I only see Castiel as a friend. Nothing more. Even if forced, my answer would still be the same. I have no feelings for him other than as a friend.

Although Castiel's love is unconditional, he is better off with Princess Lara Everglade, who is willing to make him king of Arindale in the future. I don't want to hold Castiel back. I don't deserve to be with him.

I won't let Sebastian ruin the life of a noble-hearted man like Castiel. He should know that I'm only being used as a tool to drain his wealth, so why does he still insist on marrying me?
