Reincarnation: The Secret Of A Knight

Fiancée

The next day when I was getting ready to have breakfast with everyone, including Daniel and his father, David, a messenger from the family of Vernon's greeted us.
The Vernon's were a family whose speciality was in the field of business. The family head was Gabriel Vernon who was known for his clever mind and he was also an Earl, thus, making him and his family quite influencial, though lower than a family like ours.

The message was "Dear fiance, I will be coming over to meet you during lunch to discuss something very important."

I frowned and asked "Who is it addressed to?"

Daniel raised his brow looking at me as if I asked a useless question and said in a flat tone "You, of course, who else could it be?"

I was shocked still.

What? As in what? How is that possible? As far as I am concerned this body of mine should be having a physical age of thirteen years.

Thirteen years old for Christ's sake!

Don't tell me, I'm in a place where marriage partners are arranged right at birth...

I can't see myself having a thirteen or perhaps younger than that year old girlfriend. I'm not a pedophile. Though, my physical age is small, my mental age is that of an adult!

I can feel myself having goosebumps just at the thought of it.

Damn it all! Why did this have to happen?

Calm down Jake... This is nothing. I can just think of it as role play or just treat the girl like my sister?

Yeah, right, there you go, problem solved.

Besides, I am now Rhys, not Jake anymore... Got to work on that as well. I just conveniently forgot about that when I got stressed. If someone had tried to read my mind using magic when I made the slip up it would have been a disaster.

Even though I had gone through the family relationships of Rhys, I was so busy training for the ceremony and going through the crash course of how to be a Duke, I didn't get a chance to check out his friends and now a fiancee. Guess that's my new task.

"Do I have to make any arrangements for the same?" I asked in a flat tone not caring to explain my previous confusion about the fiancee stuff.

"Not really" said Daniel.
Then added smirking "Though you could work on looking romantic".

"Romantic"

My face darkened slightly due to depression.
