Chapter 13

[Two years later]

Rose was going to be betrothed this current year. Although the entire clan was dwelling on the possibilities of who could be the boy that their princess will get engaged and married in the future all the while showing her portfolios and pictures of those heirs, the Cattaneo princess wasn’t able to understand how all of it came down to this. She had worked as hard as she could, attained the highest grades, and took part in all the activities that could give her an experience but this…a marriage of convenience?

She tried telling them that she hated this only to be shut down since a clan member cannot change the basic rules even if they are the leader or princess.

Rose simply sat at her bed looking into the space, without letting an ounce of emotion reflect from her face and the resolve of being rebellious was strengthened. So the people- her family did not understand it completely when she said that she had wished for independence…then so be it.
