An hour earlier
Ashiel who was within the imperial household, under the secret place as the commander unit, contemplate his thoughts after hearing Dana's request
It had been long enough for him to accept her request because he knew what she had been through. She told him everything that was going on in her life only to be understood at the very end
Ashiel, knowing that Dana was part of the Morgier family of a count, can help her as long as there's no physical intimacy. That's what he had in exchange for his help. There's no problem with that as Dana will never betray her fiancee
The only thing why she asked him to be her fake date was to make Vermon, her fiancee, jealous or claim her as his own. She wanted to see him having emotions toward her. It's because she had grown tired of being the only one showing her love for the other party
