"Yes He sent a card Everyone has been anticipating his visit ever since their engagement has been announced"

"Oh" Was the only reply he couldinto from the very start, there was still a part of hiuilty Geoffrey was his own cousin

"Charlton, I know that you think that I was harsh last ti time, and I can see your sincerity towards my sister However, you have to stop hatever you are doing"

"I do understand where you're co from, but Leonard, I love her I hate to adine my life without her by my side I will talk to Geoffrey and…"

"Do you knohy your card has been rejected?"

"Did you play a part in that?"

Leonard sighed "Charlton, it was not just e? Each and every person in this house wants Serena to marry the crown prince"

"Whather happy?"

"Leonard, aside fro and so rand duke My title is not simply for decoration and my inheritance is notto rebuke hiuarantee that he will still have his title and inheritance if he continues with the path he was taking? Does he not kno precarious his father's position in court was? Anyway, he was in no position to voice his opinion in that regard His , so he doesn't really knohat happens behind closed doors

Now, he wanted to explain that there was soon Serena and Geoffrey's union However, he thought that it was not right to say those words out loud Besides, even if he does, there was no guarantee that Charlton will understand Even worse, what if he tells those words to Serena? It ht even cause a rift in their fa him to see Geoffrey and Serena from afar At least that way, no other words will be needed for him to back off
