When that happened, then, Rose would know that Rune really loved her so much that he was willing to be a poor man to win her heart.
She would remember that Rune only did that because a few weeks ago Rose had insisted on marrying only a poor man.
"Mom.. don't scare Rune, please..." said Rose, finally interceding for the two of them. The girl cleared her throat and glanced at Rune.
"I've known Rune very well all this time and I know that he's not a man who likes to take advantage of women. He won't leech off my wealth. He's a man who is not interested in money."
Duchess Fournier looked astonished at Rose's words. "He doesn't like money? Is there such a person?"
"Yes," said Rose with a chuckle. "This man is very smart and he had a lot of opportunities to earn a lot of money, but he didn't pursue them."
