i would so laugh if a single once folded paper came back with a "no thank you" inside...
but sadly while that would fit both mc and duke that wouldnt fitt all that well with the usual drama routine...
you know attacking the marriage before the mc gets married afterwards attacking mc for being the wife then attacking the married life
@yuchiyo
if he is the second ml thats gonna be embarressing
he will have to explain to himself and anyone but the mc why he let her and her family rott for so long even though they were once highly valued holy knights and basicly went down to serve the church and how much shame he is feeling right now at the fact that he claims love to something he and the church abandoned themselves to the point where the holy knight family had to find sanctuary under the wings of a mage.
trying to pick something up you once discarded can be very embarressing especially if someone you oppose is faster
and while he and the church didnt actively throw them away they didnt actively help either so abandoned fits quite well
