“Huh?”
“What?”
In the main hall, both Rafael and Carissa were taken aback by the words of Trevor's wife, Mildred. They
exchanged glances that spoke volumes of their confusion. Neither of them knew how to respond.
“This matter really has to be entrusted to you, Prince Rafael, Lady Carissa,” Mildred sighed, the wrinkles at the
corners of her eyes crinkling.
Carissa said with a troubled look, “But shouldn't matchmaking be handled by a professional matchmaker? Or at
least a government-appointed matchmaker, or someone of high moral standing? I'm still quite young. I really
can’t bear this heavy responsibility.”
Mildred sighed deeply again. “You may laugh at us for saying this, but my granddaughter has always been well-

her in the past, but she hasn't liked any of them. She insists on marrying only that man. We've tried to persuade
her repeatedly, but she refuses to listen. She’s adamant about marrying him, and is even sulking with us over it.
She won't hear a word from her mother.
“Seeing her so stubborn, we figured he’s a decent man, so why not let her marry him? As long as she’s happy,
that’s what matters. But when we sent a matchmaker to propose, he declined, claiming he didn’t want to hold up
our granddaughter. Reluctantly, we've cto seek your help. After all, you returned from the Southern Frontier

Trevor chimed in, “Honestly, whether this marriage can be arranged or not isn’t the main concern. | just want to
understand why he doesn’t want our granddaughter. He says he’s afraid of hindering her future, but | believe
that’s just an excuse. If it’s about that, then wouldn't marrying anyone else be a delay as well? Don’t you agree,
Your Highness, Your Grace?”
Carissa parted her lips slightly, unsure of how to respond.
She knew the reason all too well. Thomas wasn’t genuinely interested in marriage. He was merely spreading
rumors so that Viola would move on.
However, she couldn't just say that to Trevor.
Carissa had a vivid memory of Rosalind from Eleanor’s birthday banquet, where she had gifted the grand
princess an orchid painting by Kyle. It was Rosalind who had confirmed its authenticity when others had
claimed it was a fake.
Besides, Rosalind was known as the most talented young woman in the capital, her reputation echoing
throughout the city and even into half of the kingdom. With such a prominent family background, who wouldn't
know her? If she decided to marry, every representative from the noble families would likely
scramble to compete for her.
Yet, among all the refined young men and even the royal relatives, Rosalind only had eyes for Thomas, a man
who had once been married. If Rosalind married him, she would essentially be a second wife. If her feelings
weren't well-thought-out and were instead impulsive, it would be disastrous for both Thomas and herself.

Leona had once declared her desire to marry Samuel at first sight, only to regret it soon after. Now, they had
becnothing more than a resentful couple. Of course, Samuel couldn't be compared to Thomas- they were
worlds apart.
Thomas was a hero now, but once married life began, that heroism would fade into the reality of everyday life.
There was a risk that Rosalind might be idealizing Thomas and thought of him as perfect because of that. If she
discovered his flaws after marriage and found him unsatisfactory, it could lead to trouble. “Honestly, we just
need an answer to help that foolish girl move on,” Mildred pleaded with Carissa with hopeful eyes.
Rafael then asked, “Mr. Young, what do you think of this match? If Thomas agrees, will you truly consent to it?”
Trevor shrugged. “What good would it do to disagree? Rosalind may seem gentle, but she’s as stubborn as a hot
iron rod-hard and scorching. She won't listen to anyone. She's a sheltered young lady. What does she know
about the world? Her knowledge is all obtained through only books. Fortunately, Thomas is a good man, far
better than many young nobles. If it can be arranged, we wouldn't oppose it.”
“But this isn’t his first marriage,” Rafael insisted.
Trevor looked at him in surprise. “With all due respect, Your Highness, you're not Lady Carissa’s first husband
either. As a young man, you shouldn't be so rigid in your thinking.”
Rafael felt momentarily stifled by the remark, but he was unable to argue against it.
