I HAD NO IDEA YOU HAD GROWN THIS BREATHTAKING IN THE MEANTIME. LET'S APPROACH HER. I NEED TO SPEAK TO HER. IF SHE SHOWS EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF FAVOR TOWARD ME, THEN I WILL ASK HER. WHETHER SHE... REMEMBERS ME. IRENE.... YOUR GRACE! DUKE OF DELOISTER! I AM HONORED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE. I AM... YOUR GRACE, MIGHT I INTRODUCE MY DAUGHTER TO YOU? YOUR GRACE, PLEASE.... TWO WEEKS LATER. HIGH SOCIETY IS THE WORST. ...YES, IT IS, ISN’T IT...? WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I HATED IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR ME, BUT NOW I LOATHE EVERYTHING ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. EVER SINCE I RECEIVED MY TITLE, I’VE LEARNED NOTHING ASIDE FROM CROSSING SWORDS, SO I KNOW NEITHER PLEASANTRIES NOR HOW EXCESSIVELY FASTIDIOUS ETIQUETTE IS. ABOVE ALL... THE PERFUME IS SO PUNGENT IT FEELS LIKE MY HEAD IS GOING TO SPLIT. YOUR GRACE. SO, HAVE YOU TRIED CONVERSING WITH LADY MUBER? NO, I’VE ATTENDED BANQUETS THREE TIMES NOW, BUT... FAR FROM SPEAKING TO HER, I WASN’T EVEN PERMITTED TO APPROACH HER SIDE. ...HMPH. HOW SHOULD I PUT THIS, IT'S SO VERY LIKE YOUR GRACE. ...I DON'T THINK THAT WAS MEANT AS A COMPLIMENT. Heavens, of course it was~ FOR NOW, LET US GO TOGETHER TODAY. BALLROOM DUKE, TODAY.... YOUR GRACE, HOW WOULD YOU CARE TO GRANT ME THIS DANCE? ...OH? IT WOULD APPEAR THE YOUNG LADY IS AVOIDING YOUR GRACE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? YOU'VE TURNED AROUND A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES TODAY ALONE. ...WHY IS THAT? WELL, WHO CAN SAY. PERHAPS THE DUKE SIMPLY ISN'T TO HER TASTE? WHAT? THEN HOW ON EARTH- CALM YOURSELF, I SHALL INQUIRE INTO THE MATTER. AFTER ALL, I AM QUITE CONFIDENT WHEN IT COMES TO GOSSIP. THE NEXT DAY, THE DUKE'S OFFICE YOUR GRACE! COME BACK LATER. I HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO. TH-THIS IS AN URGENT DISPATCH FROM LADY THEODORA! LADY MUBER-, WHAT? LADY MUBER IS ABOUT TO BE WED, OR SO I HEAR! ...VISCOUNT MUBER INTENDS TO SEND IRENE TO COUNT EIDELSMAN? TO AN OLD MAN OF AN AGE TO PASS ON SOON? THE COUNT HAS REPORTEDLY SETTLED THE VISCOUNT'S DEBTS. IF IT'S MERE MONEY, I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH OF IT! BRING ME THE LETTER AT ONCE. CONTACT THE MUBER VISCOUNTY-! Y-YOUR GRACE. BETROTHAL GIFTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXCHANGED AND THE DATE FINALIZED, SO IT WOULD LIKELY BE DIFFICULT TO RETRACT. ...WHAT AM I TO DO? SINCE BOTH PARTIES HAVE ALREADY SET THEIR CONDITIONS, THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THIS MARRIAGE. IF YOUR GRACE IS NOT CAREFUL, YOU MAY BRING SCANDAL UPON- TO BE UNABLE TO DO A SINGLE THING, YET AGAIN... I CANNOT LET IRENE GO. I MUST STOP THIS. BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY...! ...DUKE DELOISTER. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS SUDDEN OUTBURST? TO ASK ME TO "HALT A VISCOUNTCY'S MARRIAGE BY IMPERIAL DECREE." PUTTING ASIDE HOW LIGHTLY YOU TREAT IMPERIAL AUTHORITY..., DO I LOOK TO YOU LIKE I HAVE THAT MUCH LEISURE? EMPEROR ALEXA BELLATORIUM ENOUGH OF THAT, LOOK OVER THESE DOCUMENTS INSTEAD. YOUR MAJESTY. NO.... ALEXA. EVER SINCE I OFFICIALLY RECEIVED THE DUCAL TITLE, I HAVE DEVOTED EVERYTHING TO ENSURING THERE IS NO SHAME UPON THE NAME OF DELOISTER. IT WAS SOLELY FOR THIS IMPERIAL FAMILY. YOU REMEMBER, DO YOU NOT? I NEVER ASKED YOU TO DO ANY SUCH THING. IN FACT, I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO STOP YOU, SAYING THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO SO FOR A FAMILY LIKE OURS. WELL, IN ANY CASE, YOU ARE HERE TO ASK FOR A REWARD, COUSIN? LET ME ASK YOU JUST ONE THING. WHAT DOES THAT YOUNG LADY MEAN TO YOU THAT YOU WOULD GO TO SUCH LENGTHS FOR HER? ...SHE IS THE REASON I STAND IN THIS POSITION. I BEG OF YOU, ALEXA. ARE YOU... GOING TO HELP ME? VERY WELL, THERE ARE TWO REASONS. FIRST, I FIND IT UNSIGHTLY FOR DECREPIT OLD ARISTOCRATS TO PREY UPON YOUNG MAIDENS WITH THEIR MONEY. SECOND... YOU WILL DO WHATEVER TASKS I ASSIGN YOU WITHOUT MISSING A SINGLE ONE FOR THE TIME BEING. NEWLYWED OR WHATEVER ELSE, I CARE NOT. IT IS AN IMPERIAL DECREE. "i Hereby Order The Marriage Of Duke Felix Deloister And Irene, Daughter Of Viscount Muber." ...ALEXA, WHAT IS THIS...? IF I DO NOT BIND THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER BY SUCH MEANS, WOULD YOU EVER EVEN MANAGE TO STRING A PROPER SENTENCE TOGETHER TO HER? IF IT IS TO BE A FORCED MARRIAGE ALL THE SAME, YOU OUGHT TO PROVE YOURSELF A BETTER MAN THAN THAT AGED COUNT. CAN YOU MANAGE THAT, "DUKE"? LADY MUBER. IT IS AN HONOR TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE. ...DID MY GREETING JUST NOW COME ACROSS PROPERLY? WHAT ABOUT MY EXPRESSION? I SURELY DIDN'T GREET HER WITH A BLANK, FOOLISH LOOK ON MY FACE, DID I? I AM SO TERRIBLY NERVOUS I CANNOT EVEN THINK... ...HELLO, YOUR GRACE. I AM IRENE MUBER. UM, I HEAR A NEW CAFÉ HAS RECENTLY OPENED. MIGHT YOU... CARE TO ACCOMPANY ME THERE? ...VERY WELL. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THAT IF I ACTED LIKE A FOOL THE WAY I DID ‘BACK THEN’ AND LET YOU SLIP AWAY FROM ME, I WOULD BE UNDONE. SINCE I AM ALREADY A SHAMELESS WRETCH WHO HAS USED AN IMPERIAL DECREE TO KEEP HOLD OF YOU, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR. I KNOW IT IS A PATHETIC AND COWARDLY THING TO DO, BUT IT IS THE SOLE, MOST PERFECT OPPORTUNITY GRANTED TO ME. THEREFORE, THIS TIME, AND THIS TIME ALONE, WITHOUT FAIL, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE. NO MATTER WHAT MAY HAPPEN... YOUR GRACE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Had an Arranged Marriage With My Unrequited Love #10](/series/i-had-an-arranged-marriage-with-my-unrequited-love-qmpwgz2c/chapter-10-8jvcqm) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-had-an-arranged-marriage-with-my-unrequited-love-qmpwgz2c ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
