15 years ago...

"Son, to become powerful is to have many allies, one of which is your wife . Not just for their support, but for their family's name and influence. It's up to you, whether today you succeed or not. The Lacy's daughter is a tad bit hard to gain favor... Remember, you have responsibilities to fulfill..."
"Yes, Father."
"Now go, find her under that Oak Tree... "
*
"So what if I'm seeing her? You can't, and you don't have the power to stop this, my dear. Since the day that you signed that contract..."
*
"Can I call you 'Lenna' for short?"
"Mhm!" I nod eagerly.

Back to the present

"I said, don't call me that!"
I can't take it anymore. How long will this go on?
"Oh, I didn't know you had such fire? I love the fight in you..."
*
"It was all an act, wasn't it, Leon?"
