Chapter 56: The Immortals [3]
"I’d like to propose a marriage agreement."
I blinked.
He finished the sentence without pause.
"Between you and my sister, Alicia Rowan."
"....what?"
"There is nothing strange in this at all. You were promised to the Croft family’s daughter Monica, but due to your excommunication, that arrangement has been deemed invalid. Alicia also has been promised to none. Since, it’s just a proposal for now, I would like you to think about it for a while.", Cedric said casually, as if this matter didn’t need much of his attention, and stood up to leave.
"Wait", I insisted, as he was leaving.
Alicia Rowan is the only daughter of the Rowan family, with three elder brothers.
House Rowan is not something run of the mill family, that it would bow it’s head to even the Royal Family.
That’s the extent of their power.
Yet, why would Cedric, Alicia’s elder brother propose her marriage with someone like me, with no prospects, no family to back, and no actual advantage to gain from?
It would have been understandable if this marriage was a political move, but I have already been excommunicated from my family.
