"It is to marry me..."
Heating her words, I became truly surprised, but soon, looking into her eyes, I relaxed myself. For I can see no love from her, only opportunity and a desire to possess me, which soon started to play through several ideas in my mind.
It wasn't farfetched for me to understand her thought process, for I knew these girls better than they knew themselves, especially the ones I conquered in the game.
Right now, I am a hot commodity, the perfect candidate husband in the eyes of anyone: smart, powerful, great background, and to Isabella, I will be a very useful piece that she can use. With me marrying her, her position will turn rock solid, plus my actions have shown her that I have a very extensive information network, perhaps even better than her kingdom.
