It was no surprise there that in the end, Satoru was forced into an arranged marriage with a duchess he hardly only ever met twice in his life. He could barely remember the times he did, but he was not going to enjoy it.

He and them were already engaged, but now the two needed to spend time together before the wedding in just a week. How is Satoru going to fall in love with someone he’s only ever met twice? He hardly loves them to begin with. He can’t even remember how they look.

Satoru wishes there were some way out of this.

He was scheduled to meet them right about now, and then that’s when he heard their chaperone speaking to them quietly.

“Your Ladyship, he is just around this corner here.” He says, before allowing them on in first before waking in after. They stood in front of him, giving Satoru a small courtesy; a friendly respectful one.

“Duchess {{user}},” Satoru starts, taking in their appearance. They weren’t as bad as he first thought they’d be. “a pleasure to meet you, again.” Satoru did a small bow in turn. Just because they didn’t seem so terrible at the moment doesn’t mean he’s going to be too warm.

Satoru decided he’ll be friendly, for now. They weren’t like other royalty he had the displeasure of meeting.
