I’d been stanning the hero for 3 years when I was suddenly caught red-handed by his tyrannical doting father, Duke Hades Louvremont. <br> “Ceaseless pursuit, expensive gifts, and now you’ve come alone all this way up north with no regard for your life…”<br> “I’m sorry. I have no excuse.”<br> “Alright, I’ve lost. Your devotion is undeniable.” “...You think so too? Even I admit that this is the pinnacle of devotion.”<br> “Many women have pursued me, but none as persistently as you. I stand amazed. Let’s hold it, then. Our marriage. As soon as possible." “Ha... Yes, I’ll accept my fate.” Silence.<br> “Wait, pardon?! What?”<br> What did he just say?<br> Surely I must've misheard?<br> But the duke, smirking at my shocked face, gave the finishing blow. “I said, I’ll marry you.”<br> Wow.<br> The hero’s dad has an inflated ego.
