Chapter 206.3
So I had no choice but to report to Elena, who let out a light sigh, then looked at me and picked up the letter the attendant brought for me.
“Odd. I just received a formal application from the Dandol family? As a partner of Rockwell, who is graduating.”
“I see.”
I understand why Elena was sighing, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
There was nothing wrong with a graduating student asking an underclassman to be his partner. But it also implied conveying one’s feelings to one’s intended partner, and for the other side to accept it implied accepting the other’s feelings.
The first premise was that a student who has a fiancée would bring that person to be his or her partner at the graduation party.
Still, students were allowed to play with each other to a certain extent, and they may choose partners who do not match their family ranks. This could be seen from the fact that His Majesty, the current king, had chosen as his partner a baroness who was not his fiancée.
However, the royal family was viewed very harshly by the current royal family because of His Majesty’s acceptance of the baroness as a regular queen.
Several noble families have sent invitations to Elena in the past, but all of them have been offers of “engagement” assuming that she would “marry off” later.
The fact that the application came from the Dandol family, and not from Rockwell personally, implied that this was also such an application.
