บท 273: Sorry, but I can't right now.

Inside the bath, Cain was resting in the hot tub when Alice approached him to discuss the matter. He simply looked at her as if he could guess what she was about to say.

"You don't have to say it, I already guess what it's from how she was acting and her sudden urge to fight. The answer is no." Cain refused before she could even start explaining.

"But why?" Alice replied to him, she wasn't wearing the link ring so he couldn't have read her thoughts.

"Do you want the long explanation or the short one?" Cain asked as moved a bit to the side leaving a place for Sofia to sit to his right.

"The short one," Alice said as she sat to the left of Cain.

"First of all, Our wedding is close and it will be weird to add someone just before that. There is no mutual benefit like with Marina. Also, Hati didn't seem to like the idea." Cain explained.

"But we agreed after hearing her story, that she is also the daughter of a lord, don't you like that?" Alice said with a faint smile.
