Chapter 143: Strange day (2)
"Is playing with the seal on envelopes your hobby? I can melt a few to entertain you after breakfast," Annalise offered since he was playing around with the seal so much.
Rafael did not answer her as he was preoccupied with trying to prove that the letter had not come from Edgar. If anything, it would be a stupid trick Tobias was using to get him to travel to Lockwood.
"There has to be something wrong with Edgar," Rafael concluded.
If Edgar had sent him this, there had to be something wrong with his head. Edgar was the face of not wanting to get married. So much so that he liked to avoid his mother so he would not hear about marriage.
If there was something wrong with Edgar’s head, luckily there was his butler Alfred to watch over him until this marriage talk was sorted out.
"There is no invitation," Rafael said, searching the already empty envelope for one.
There was a tiny, tiny chance he would believe Edgar was getting married if not for the baron’s name. Rafael recalled the baron having two daughters, but he could not think of their names. The last time Edgar was here, he did not seem too happy to visit the baron under the king’s order and he wasn’t thrilled to see his daughter.
It was Rafael who convinced him to go.
Rafael wished Edgar was a little less vague and more detailed about how it was that he suddenly wanted to get married after claiming he was planning to find a young relative to raise to take over his estate or take a young boy from an orphanage.
