Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1454 After much tugging and ear-pulling, Violet finally stood up, raising her voice as she explained, "There's no long story to tell. We were just having a drink at Glimmering Tower. He suddenly said that many people's dream might just be to get married and have children.

"When I agreed with him, he looked at me and asked, 'Why don't we try it?' I said, 'Sure.""

She sat back down, rubbing her hands over her face. "At the time, I thought he was just joking. But then, before the New Year, he said we should start preparing for our wedding. He's going back to Meadow Ridge to consult with Sage Adrian, then he'll ask Sage Conrad and my family for permission. So... what could I say?"

Carissa crossed her arms. "What do you mean, 'what could you say'? If you don't want to get married, just say no. Clear up the misunderstanding now. If you wait until he's asked for your hand and your dad and mentor agree, but you refuse... Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Cynthia raised her hand to stop the conversation. "Wait, Vivi. Let me ask you something. Do you want to marry Isaac?"

Violet's eyes clouded with uncertainty. "I don't know."

"Don't know? How can you not know?"
