Bab 364: The past (2)

"My engagement was important to my family. To my father and at the time, I didn't realise how important it was to Travis. He was making his own plans for how my husband could be of use to him. I was too busy trying to force myself to love someone and convince myself that the marriage was something I wanted to think about Travis," said Beatrice. 

"I was aware of the life my family gave me. How expensive it must have been to spoil me so I thought it was only fair that I repay them by getting married to whomever they picked. A little after my engagement was announced, I met your father. He was doing work with Nicolas. Just starting as a knight. You should have seen how wonderful he looked then," Beatrice said, smiling, feeling like a young girl in love again.
