Matthew stood to the side, his face dark and gloomy.

Gabriel, unfazed, instructed someone to keep knocking on the door,

But this time, no matter how hard they knocked, no one came to open the door.

The only response from inside was a single sentence. “The Holy Lady is busy. Lord Mowbay, please come back another day.” Hearing this again, Matthew, his face still pale, raised his foot, ready to storm forward

Gabriel grabbed him firmly “What do you think you’re doing?”

Matthew gritted his teeth and snapped, “I’m calling for Dianal Didn’t they say she’s here? I want to see if she doesn’t want to come out!”

Hearing this, Gabriel released his grip on Matthew.

Forcing their way in was clearly not an option, but perhaps Diana could be their way

Gabriel said calmly, “Bring up breaking off the engagement. That should get her to come out.”

“What? Father, I’m not breaking off the engagement with Diana!” Matthew exclaimed, spinning around in shock.

Matthew had genuinely thought Gabriel wanted him to discuss ending the engagement with Diana

Gabriel shot Matthew a look of utter disdain, as if he were staring at a complete failure. “Tell me about it. Even if you agreed, I’d never allow it.”

This wasn’t about Matthew–it was all for the sake of the Stonor family.

The Stonor family had once been a prestigious literary clan in Hasen City, a legacy now carried on by the Baker family. Though the current generation of the Baker family had faltered somewhat, their foundation remained solid.

After all, Diana’s grandfather was a renowned scholar of this era.

The Stonor family needed this alliance to secure its dominance in court and strengthen its reputation among scholars So, even if Matthew agreed to break off the engagement, Gabriel would never consent.
