Grace then left, closing the door again with another bold move.

Is he going to tear this house down?

With these thoughts in mind, I turn my attention to Karendoll, who sat down in a dignified manner across the table from me.

“What’s all this? Why do you even want to get engaged to me in the first place?”

“Don’t be such a stranger. An engagement means we are getting married, you know?”

“Yes, and why do you want to marry me…? I don’t remember being your fiance yet! It is still at the stage where your family, the Lewis family, makes an offer of engagement to my family, the Kvist family, and I have not yet agreed to be engaged to Miss Karendoll.”

“I see, so it was that. I understand.”

“Ah, glad that you finally understand!”

“So this is a test for me, right, Kaisar-sama? And unless I pass the trial, you can’t agree to the engagement… I’ll gladly comply if that’s the case.”

When I was relieved that she finally understood me, Karendoll snorted and responded confidently.

I can’t help but wonder where in the world she gets her self-confidence.

“No, you hated me, Miss Karendoll, not long ago. Why did you come to me today and ask me to get engaged without an appointment? Without an appointment!”

I said ‘no appointment’ twice because it’s an important part.

No one in nobility would bring an engagement proposal for their daughter without a prior appointment!

It is unheard of!

“Of course, I know that. I got defeated by Kaisar-sama in terms of magic, fighting skills, and personality. Not only did you save me from the Dark Guild Master Belmude that day, but also gave me an incredibly effective recovery medicine free of charge that helped my brother recover from his drug addiction. Are those not good enough reasons? In fact, from my point of view, I think it’s worth going to make an engagement without an appointment.”

That would almost convince me, but I still don’t think so.

It’s nothing if you handle it calmly.

“Wasn’t another person wearing a black mask in that place to protect Miss Karendoll from the Dark Guild Master, Belmude, and not me?”

Yes, I had disguised myself and even wore a mask. She couldn’t have seen my face back then.

“Then how did you know that the person was wearing a ‘black mask’ when you said you weren’t in that place?”

It appears that I have done something dumb.
