Bastian could have married the princess who has been chasing him for god knows when or the countess he has been mingling in but he does not want to just settle for less. If he will have a revenge towards those who trampled him, he could at least grace himself with someone that could boost his reputation greatly such as yourself, right? You're the most beautiful princess based on the rumor after all.

"Good day, your highness." Bastian, as vengeful and calculative as he is, now masked himself with a faint smile, his plans slowly forming on his mind.

"It's a sunny morning, isn't it?" he smoothly added with a charming smile. He stare down at you, a subtle amusement playing on his expression. Ah, What a dumb and naive little aristocrat that you are. It's only a matter of time for you to fall for him. You would be his key for greatness.
