Chapter 5 - 4 You are just a younger brother!
Matchmaking was hardly a foreign concept to Haruno.
Ever since she turned eighteen, she had received marriage proposals from several aristocratic young men almost every year.
After all, the Yukino Family was powerful and influential. Securing a connection with them would greatly simplify many endeavors for those greedy people’s.
Moreover, the three Yukino women—mother and daughters—were renowned for their beauty. Marrying one of them and moving into their household would be akin to living with all three.
This golden opportunity to become the sole male presence in the Yukino household and monopolize the three women was naturally something everyone coveted.
Therefore, Haruno was certain that none of her suitors had honorable intentions.
How could she possibly be happy about being matched with someone who harbored improper thoughts about her family?
But what choice did she have?
Just as others sought to align themselves with the Yukino Family, her own family needed support from various factions. So, despite her deep reluctance, Haruno had to put on a smile, go through the motions, and then find a way to reject them.
That’s right, she had to refuse. Keeping this around would be like stockpiling emergency rations.
Even if she had no interest in those young masters, the crucial point was: if she got married, who would handle future matchmaking duties?
