Chapter 244: Marriage Nightmares

"Good evening, Lord Rachel. You look as dashing as we remembered you at your last public appearance. This is my daughter, Kristabelle. She's not very familiar with social parties, so we thought perhaps we could get her acquainted with more familiar faces."

Rino forced a smile. Ah, yes. He was forced to attend the social parties once every three months as part of his agreement with his butler. The nobles were very bored and usually threw a huge gala every quarter to celebrate the end of each season. It was usually hosted by more influential nobles like Earls and up.

The daughter of this esteemed noble was from the Lance house, an Earl's daughter. Rino tried not to roll his eyes at what Countess Lance was trying to do. He was not a stranger to marriage proposals from houses offering their daughters to a talented magician like him to utilise the power of the magicians' tower for themselves.
