Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Avinox appearance, who was dressed more stylishly today, was even meaningful.

Me and Avinox took a short walk through crowded places like last time.

And immediately headed to Larane's greenhouse.

I don't know if he noticed something.

Larane was unable to travel freely outside the mansion because of Seral, but fortunately, there were no restrictions inside the mansion.

I decided to use it to help two people a little today.

"I've already told Larane to meet me here. Oh, there she is."

"Larane..."

Avinox muttered sadly.

When she was in the greenhouse, she was always growing flowers in a shiny way.

But today was different.

It was so sad to see her sitting helplessly on the greenhouse chair.

"Then I'll get going..."

"No."

Avinox caught me trying to turn around to give Larane and Avinox time alone.

"Please be our witness, Lady Florentia."

Avinox, who still looks nervous, told me with a smile on his face.

"If Larane accepts my proposal, I plan to send the proposal in the name of Luman to Larane's father and the Lombardy family. I have already got my father's permission."

In short, he said he would follow the marriage course of the aristocrats.

I can't believe he has already got the Lord of Luman's permission.

He has made up his mind and pushed ahead with it.

"It's a little late, but I still have a chance because the Imperial Family hasn't sent a formal proposal or made an official announcement."

Avinox clenched while saying so.

"Of course... It's about when Larane accepted my proposal."

Then he goes back to tense mode.

I patted Avinox on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, I'll be happy to be your witnesses."

"Thank you!"

"Let's go, then?"

Avinox, who began walking as if he would squeak due to tension, took the lead and opened the greenhouse door.

Ugh, I'm nervous, too!

"Sir Avinox...?"

Larane called Avinox in a trembling voice as if she could not believe her eyes.

Avinox approached Larane and asked in a friendly voice.

"Your face looks a little swollen. Are you all right?"

"I'm fine... You didn't reply to my letter, so I was wondering if Sir Avinox was okay..."

Larane's words were cut off.

It was because Avinox slowly fell on one knee.

"Oh, Sir Avinox?"

"Lady Larane Lombardy. My courage was too late."

Avinox opened a small box of rings he had taken out of his arms and held it out in front of Larane.

"Will you marry me?"

There was a moment of silence.

Avinox with the ring held his breath.

I held my breath from the back so as not to disturb as much as possible.

Then I heard a little noise.

Hiks!

It was the sound of tears falling from Larane's eyes.

"Oh, Sir Avinox..."

Larane clasped his hands and looked at Avinox.

And Larane smiled broadly with a smile on her pretty face.

"Ah, Sir Avinox..."

It was just when Larane finally accepted the proposal.

Dang!

The greenhouse door opened with a loud noise.

"Oh, Father...!"

"What are you doing, Larane!"

It was Viese who jumped in.

The first to respond was Avinox.

Standing in the way of protecting Larane.

"Lord Lombardy, listen to me for a moment."

Then Viese's eyes caught fire more.

He mumbled while glaring at the strange man who seemed to protect his daughter, who had an important marriage.

"Your face, I've definitely seen somewhere... By any chance, Luman...?"

After finding out who Avinox was, Viese was even more distorted.

The Eastern Luman was known to be a family that openly supported Perez.

Lignite Luman was close to Perez at the Academy, Perez helped the East receive trade subsidies, and Luman volunteered to follow him on Ivan's last trip.

"What are you doing, Young Lord Luman!"

Viese, who shouted out loud, slap the ring in Avinox's hand away.

Here, the ring box that Avinox cherished in his heart lay on the greenhouse floor.

Looking at it, Avinox said in a calm voice.

"I'm sorry I didn't greet you in advance. But Larane and I have been dating, and our Luman family is about to formally send a proposal to Lombardy. I know there's a marriage coming and going, but please consider..."

"Look, Young Lord Luman."

Viese said threateningly.

"Do you know who my daughter is going to marry?"

"...I know."

"Do you know that the Luman family, who somehow tries to push his foot into the center of the Empire, will turn the Imperial Family against him, now?"

"...I'm prepared for Lady Larane."

"Oh, Sir Avinox!"

Larane shook her head in tears again.

Viese spoke up to Larane like that.+

"Has you thought it or not! Even if you act rashly, there are limits! If you act so immature, not only you but also the Luman family will be in big trouble, Larane!"

"Ah..."

Larane dropped her head.

"I'll pretend I didn't see you today, Young Lord Luman!"
