Karl's pov

Today was just a mundane morning nothing special but I was getting a feeling that something was going to happen. Sometime illogically but you can feel .

My routine was all about work and time with lia , nothing much and nothing less.

Stephan entered with a knock.
"The Marquise is here "
( "Marques" typically refers to a noble title for a male, while "Marquise" is the female equivalent. They both denote a rank below a duke but above an earl or count.)
"Marques sovel wasn't supposed to submit report today"
"It's Marquise Eden aka The lady Rovertole "
"What's she doing here?"
"How would I know ,maybe to meet lia ,she has a bouquet in her hand "
"Ok let her in"

" Greeting from the Star of Eden to Your Grace Striphen " She said .
I noticed her appearance, today she was not in her knight division uniform.
It was a white suit with golden details ,White was her colour defensively but truly speaking every Rovertole slayed the colour white maybe it was because of their features.
"How are you here lady ?"
"To make a proposal"
"Oh I would consider It lady ,Eden is one of the most prominent trade center capital "
I gestured her to settle down .
"I am not here for a buisness proposal your grace " she said smiling.
"Then " I asked her .
"It's a marriage proposal"
The tea that I was drinking came out from the shock and I started to cough the demenour I maintained till now was gone .
Stephan who was bringing snacks ,the tray left his hand .
She rushed and patted me on my back.
I shifted to maintain a distance.
"Are you okay ?"
"Lady you know , I never knew Rovertoles used pun that well"
"Oh we don't joke , I am serious"
"Wait a minute,you have a lover "
"I don't"
"Do you realise there are two eye witness here and you comitted a crime by lying infront of royal family"
"You should hear me out and if you don't like it ,feel free to report me although I highly doubt , the royal family can do something to me "
"You are too sure "
"Facts can be manipulated" She said practically whispering near my face ,I could feel her breath.
Too close , I shifted away to maintain a distance.
"It's not even something to think ,I say no . Even If I do will my daughter except you "
"Just one hour "
"What"
"I need one hour with her , she'll like me ,she already does, I'll make her love me
"Lady you are not pulling anything funny" I threatened.
"Oh I dare not " She said carelessly
And continued " I'll go then "
Before opening the door , She once again approached the table ,picked up her bouquet and threw at me .
"Here"
I held the bouquet.
"For you " She literally winked at me and went away happily like she has accomplished a milestone.
This girl , what happened to the conserved stories I have heard about her
Cold , quite and scary,  what happened did the girl get possessed.
I looked at Stephan he was laughing,on the floor .
I was about to throw the bouquet at him but then stopped and looked at the flowers.
"They are poppy flower "
"What " Stephan asked.
"Nothing"
I smiled ,my favourite flower .
