thanks for the story

I agree, but I like how she is still mature enough to recognize her situation has still improved even if it's not ideal. I also like that there is still the possibility that they might grow closer in the future and not outright acceptance or rejection of a bond forming between them.

Meh, it was alright you made it a cold business relationship which sucks. But you softened it by telling them they were free to live their lives, teaching their mother to run the business, and telling Astora she could choose who to Marry even if he needs to judge him. You also didn't close the possibility of them getting closer. You made Daphne a bit more mature by having her recognize that while her current situation isn't ideal, it's still vastly improved from what it was going to be. So while it was a bit rough it still holds potential for future chapters.

traumatized by fics where the girl gets forced to mary Harry but tries to make it work only to be mocked about how it was only business doomed to live a loveless life never to be with anyone due to the contract

I wouldn't mind them getting together but if not don't make it a bashing fic where she hopes It genualy works out but he couldn't care less and mocks her for it bad feels will bring the mood of the fic down if it doesn't work between them make them like close friends/business partners and keep the good vibe of the story
