Chapter 259: Don’t Slack Off [Bonus - ]
While waiting for the preparations to be completed before he could send a marriage proposal, Ferdinand met with Icarus again to have their usual bout.
They had a duel and after that, Icarus informed Ferdinand that he was planning to get married soon.
But when Icarus informed him whom he wanted to marry, Ferdinand was against it. It was because Arabella was the one whom Icarus planned to marry.
Icarus had been telling him about the woman he loved without saying who she was and where she came from and Ferdinand had rooted for him in the past. But who would have thought he would fall in love to the same person.
Ferdinand and Icarus had a fight over it and both decided to settle who gets to propose to her in the fight for her hand which her other suitors would participate in.
Ferdinand was already sure he would win it though since he knew he was much stronger than Icarus. But he remained silent since he didn’t want to give Arabella up to anyone else even if it was Icarus.
As he had already expected, Ferdinand won against everyone and thus had the right to propose to Arabella.
And through her former suitors’ thoughts, Arabella learned that her suitors had apparently helped each other to prevent her from marrying anyone who did not participate in the fight. They gave warnings to those who wanted to propose directly to her all of a sudden.
They were not planning to truly let Andrew off either as well.
Though Andrew was an exception in the fight for her hand because he was already her lover at the time, if he wanted to marry her, he still needed to defeat everyone else who wanted to propose to her.
In case marriage talks were put forward, her suitors from other kingdoms had agreed to put pressure on Lahar to withdraw from the marriage talks if Andrew tried to propose without winning the fight.
