Chapter 13: Another Crazy Encounter (3)
Madeline had her own reasons for deciding to propose a marriage to the young lad. She wasn’t deaf when the Coachman referred to the young man as Lord Cassian, for she knew of only one popular man bearing such a name in the upper East quarters.
Lord Cassian, the son of Duke Richard himself.
Lord Cassian was known to be quite a charmer with a commendable physique, and it certainly wasn’t a fake rumor since she’s standing before him and taking notice of his appearance herself.
Not everyone is lucky to physically run into Lord Cassian~ scratch that, what she meant to say was, not everyone can be unfortunate enough to run into Lord Cassian. It was difficult to interact with a man who was fond of steering trouble towards his direction.
He doesn’t associate with people, and If he does, it was either to kill them, or send them behind bars for committing something. This explains why most people are fortunate enough to stay clear of him.
She’s heard he wasn’t someone to be messed with, he was considered insane after bringing a bucket filled with snakes to an event his father hosted, and a lot of people who were victims to the snakes were sent to medical centers to get treated.
She doesn’t know how true those rumors are, but if they were, that makes him a perfect suitor for her.
If there was one way to escape her uncle’s clutches forever, it would be by getting married to the Duke’s son. With his title and no nonsense attitude, he could protect her from falling into the hands of Roland’s malicious plans ever again.
But will he agree?
Amadeus, who stood facing the young fellows, felt his brain cells drift into the slowly darkened clouds as he froze. He wasn’t the one getting proposed to, but he was more petrified than the two young fellows who remained silent.
’This must be a dream’ Amadeus convinced himself.
