Marquis Stargaze Mansion.
There were two men sitting in front of each other. One of them was obviously the owner of the house, Kevin Stargaze. But the other one was surprisingly the Duke of the kingdom, Sword Arbiter Lorelei.
"Hahahaha. Did you hear the news, Kevin?!" Duke Lorelei laughed out loud while slamming the table. It looked like he was too excited for the news he had just heard.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about." Kevin furrowed his eyebrows while maintaining his calm.
"Don't play dumb. I'm sure you've heard about it. The Royal Family has heard about it first, but it has become a huge rumor in the capital city, you know." Duke Lorelei smirked while pointing at Kevin. "It's about your daughter's engagement with the famous Noel Ardagan."
"…" Kevin closed his eyes, knowing what he wanted to talk about. "It's my daughter's choice. I try to respect my own children's choices. That's all."
"You're basically admitting that your and her actions in the royal court were fake, you know." Duke Lorelei was seriously amused by how the whole kingdom was tricked by their fights.
At first, it was clear that Anna had been making it difficult for Kevin. She had gone all the way to put Noel in dangerous territory.
Everything was going according to the plan until they announced the engagement.
"It's hilarious that no one can actually believe it. It started with how she asked for the Ardagan Family's execution and ended with an engagement. The supposedly mortal enemy ends up as a partner for life. How can anyone expect that?"
"I'm not sure what you're talking about."
"Oh, are you trying to play fool here? I've connected most of the dots anyway." Duke Lorelei thought for a moment. "If this is their entire plan, what do you think they expect from Lounstein? In the end, it's a dangerous territory."

duke, I only retained this position because of my strength. So, this old man will be impartial most of the time." Duke Lorelei shrugged.
