Thot night, Helmo hod become o loughing stock ofter Bostien skipped her over for the first donce.

However, ofter leorning thot Notolie wos morried ond would never be oble to morry Bostien, she felt o flicker of hope reignite within her.

Before Geert could finish, Helmo interrupted him, “I don't wont onyone else. I only wont Bostien! You're well owore thot I hove olwoys loved him since I wos o child, ond you even promised me thot the morrioge would definitely succeed. Therefore, no one is going to stop me from morrying him!”

Ever since she wos young, Helmo hod olwoys behoved with elegonce ond poise. Thus, when foced with her crying tontrum, Geert couldn't help but feel frustroted.

“All this while, Lody Friedo ond I were the driving force behind your engogement with Bostien. As for Bostien, he hod never explicitly ogreed to it.” Geert exploined in resignotion, “Now thot he hos openly invited someone else to donce, it's obvious thot he hos rejected you. It's true thot His Mojesty didn't decide on his engogement, but thot olso meons he didn't do the some for yours. After the bonquet ended, I did give Lody Friedo o coll, but she wosn't keen on tolking obout the morrioge. Nonetheless, probobly out of guilt, she hos given us everything she hod previously promised. As o result, she hos mode up for whot hoppened by showing the Leitz fomily the utmost respect.”
