Sir Billiam
Now I'm regretting my decisions, how am I going to find a lover in such time?! I don't even have in interest is anyone let alone someone I want to marry in 3 years!
"Sir?" I look up to see Hubert standing there
"What?!"
"Your father have requested your presence at the dinner table" I sighed as I walk to the dinning room with him following behind me
"Billiam,"
"Father" I greeted as I sat down
"I hold you have truly thought about this offer, Elizabeth is a great woman and-"
"Father, give me a week I will find someone and marry them in 3 years time." I cut him off not wanting to hear anymore
"Very well," he turn to talk to mother
A week later I still haven't found a partner yet! This is getting me nowhere!
They expect me to bring my 'lover' over for dinner! I am doomed.
"Billiam I thought you said you lover would be here for dinner tonight?" My mother asked
"He is right here," I gestured to Hubert pouring wind into my glass
"He?" My mother looked over at me
"Yes Hubert is right here." I don't know what made me say it but it was my only way out, Hubert went still besides me.
"Sir I-" I sent him a glare, he looked like he understood as he swallowed before continuing,
"-thought we weren't going to tell them yet?" He looked at me nervously, as I gave an approving glance and returned to the conversation at hand.
"Billiam, what is the meaning of this?!" My mother looked horrified
"I don't know what you mean" I said innocently
"You can not date the commoner!" My father shouted
"You never said my partner can't be a commoner,"
"He is a man! He cannot bear children! We need a heir!" My father kept shouting
"I will figure it out." I said calmly as I got up and mentioned for Hubert to follow me,
My father kept shouting as I walked away with Hubert who looked like he's going to pass out.
Just as we entered my room he started questioning me
"Sir I-"
"Nothing changed, you are still just a commoner. You only need to pretend to be my lover until I find someone." I shut him down
"I don't understand?" He sounds defeated
"My parents wanted me to marry a brat and this was the only way to get out of it, you were just the most convenient." I said ending the conversation
"Of course sir" he looked hurt and I couldn't help but feel a little bit bad, I'm getting soft...
