I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 12]
Translated by: ME
The background to why Silas, the first son, was to be adopted into the Earl of Airheart’s family was related to the Marquis of Haymer’s debt problems.
While both families were well-matched in terms of lineage, their economic situations were quite different.
Felicia had only recently learned about this.
After Barney said to her, [I can't believe he agreed to be adopted,] she thought that Silas, with his high pride, would never have agreed to it, so she asked her father about it.
[Felicia, you don't have to worry about anything. Welcoming Silas into our family and helping the Haymer family are separate issues,] her father said.
But Felicia knew that couldn't be true.
The Airheart family only had two daughters, Felicia and Rosemary, so they needed to adopt a son-in-law for one of them.
Conversely, the Haymer family had two younger brothers under Silas, aged sixteen and fourteen, and two of the three sons had to be adopted out somewhere.
It may have been unexpected that it was the eldest son, Silas, but Felicia could imagine that the Haymer family had given in, in order to become related to the Airheart family and receive assistance.
When he met Felicia, Silas smiled very happily.
[How lucky I am to be able to welcome someone like you as my wife,] he even said.
Therefore, Felicia was able to think that this marriage was wonderful.
It may be rare in aristocratic marriages for everything to be ideally arranged and for there to be affection between each other.
Because it's all about political marriages involving money, business, the power dynamics and connections between families, and various other things.
Some of her friends are marrying men they don't like at all.
Felicia, who had won over Silas, who was young, reasonably handsome, skilled with a sword, and the first son of a marquis family, was the envy of her friends.
However, the position of being the [first son of a marquis family,] which would normally be envied, meaning someone who would inherit the family estate, territory, and fortune, was not very important in Felicia's case.
She hadn't told her friends at the academy that Silas was being adopted into the family.
Maybe Maisie doesn't know either.
Because she hasn't told her.
Barney knew because the Ashfield family was her father's business partner, and who would inherit the family was important.
Felicia thought her father's words that the Haymer family's debt wasn't really related to her marriage were true.
Silas is always kind to Felicia, and it would be a luxury to be dissatisfied.
Sometimes there are things about Silas's way of speaking that bother her, but when she considers the overall picture, Felicia is still blessed.
Felicia told herself this as she returned from boating in the park.
Not many daughters can have a marriage as happy as Felicia's.
Even if Maisie interrupts every date, and even if Silas says something unpleasant, she shouldn't make a fuss about every little thing.
She told herself that.
It was a few days later that she encountered an event that snapped those small threads of endurance.
