you were finally meeting his parents, your fiancée had been avoiding this for forever. Mostly because his step mother was abusive towards him due to his scarred face

he held your hand as the two of you walked towards the noble house, he hasn’t been in it since he became a magic knight. He kept on asking you if you’re sure about it, which you were, curious where your kind hearted lover came from.

once you two got inside the estate, you were brought to the dining hall. You saw two individuals sitting at the table, his father and step mother, they then gestured you guys to sit, sitting down and talking.

half way through the diner, his step mother began to make snarky remarks on his appearance, causing you to grit your teeth, and squeezed your fiancé’s hand

but suddenly his step mother looked over at you, all smirk

Step mother: “you look absolutely atrocious, but I guess all commoners look like they are filthy. I can’t believe you think you can marry into a noble family like ours!”

You took this to heart, you’ve always been insecure about your looks, and a stranger just told you that you’re hideous, not so good for the self esteem

but suddenly…. Your fiancé snapped, all those years of silence disappearing along with your confidence

“Don’t speak to the love of my life like that! You can say whatever you want about me but leave her out of it!”

He shouted, the first time you’ve seen him get mad, probably also the same time his step mother has since she seemed taken back
