I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 22]
Translated by: ME
(This is bad…)
In front of the study of the Airheart family, Silas stood dumbfounded.
After Felicia overheard the conversation at the cafe in the noble district, Toby and Neil whispered to Silas, [Don't you think you should apologize?]
But Maisie frowned and asked, [Are you okay with her saying something like that to you?]
[I think Felicia is also at fault… I don't think Silas needs to apologize.]
She continued with a seemingly thoughtful expression, as if to say, [I'm on Silas's side.]
Silas could only laugh and say, [You're right.]
But inside, he was panicking.
Unpleasant sweat poured down his back.
This was no time to be leisurely drinking coffee.
But Maisie kept saying, [Silas is not at fault,] so he lost the opportunity to leave.
After seeing Felicia leave with her maid, he pretended to be casual and said to the three, [Shall we go soon too?]
Maisie didn't seem to want to go home yet, but Toby and Neil quickly understood and stood up.
The two held back Maisie, who was trying to follow Silas in a daze, and sent him off with, [Good luck.]
He thought, [Friends are important.]
Ignoring Maisie, who was grinning and asking, [What are you going to do?], he hurried to the Airheart mansion.
He caught up with Felicia in front of the study just in the nick of time.
Or so he thought…
(I couldn't persuade her…)
He shouldn't have bothered with Maisie.
Silas clicked his tongue.
If he had apologized at the cafe, if he had at least left the store before Felicia and waited at the Airheart mansion, if he hadn't been with Maisie in the first place…
Many regrets swirled in his head, but it was all too late.
If the engagement with Felicia is broken, the Haymer family is finished.
(But… wait a minute…)
Would the engagement be broken so easily?
Despite her popularity, there was a reason why Felicia had difficulty finding a fiancé.
There was no suitable match.
Even the members of the Royal Knights who were aiming to marry into a noble family without an heir were hesitant when it came to a marquis family.
They knew from the beginning that they would not be a match unless they had a very good family background.
The threshold was too high.
In fact, the Marquis of Airheart was quite particular about the person who would become his daughter's fiancé.
There were many suitors for Felicia, but none of them met the Marquis's standards.
Silas was the person who finally met those standards.
In addition to his appearance, family background, and position as a member of the Royal Knights, he had no major personality problems.
His age was also just right.
Everything met the Marquis of Airheart's standards.
If he couldn't find a satisfactory partner, the Marquis seemed to be considering taking a son-in-law for his younger sister Rosemary and marrying Felicia to Barney Ashfield.
But because Silas appeared, he decided to take a son-in-law for Felicia after all and have her inherit the family.
Recalling such circumstances, Silas encouraged himself.
For the Airheart family, Silas is the son-in-law they finally found.
It is a marriage that both families have agreed to.
There is no way they would break off the engagement so easily.
(That's right. Not over something like that…)
He heard that the Marquis of Airheart is a family-oriented person, but on the other hand he is also a strict businessman.
He would not easily break the promise between families, which is like a contract just because of his daughter's trivial selfishness.
Silas desperately told himself that.
