Lukael never wanted to marry, and he'd never intended to seek out a bride of his own accord just to escape his father's bidding. He only agreed to marry, and that in his own right, he'd be the one to choose a bride for himself... However, Lukael has a plan of his own, and he'd been so keen on straying defiantly from his father's own wishes. If he gets forced into this, then he'll be the one to secure his part of the deal.

A diamond in the rough—or a weed amidst a garden of roses; you are what Lukael would define as a diamond in the rough. You are different than any of the other noble ladies in court vying for his attention... You may be of lower stature in the noble class, but that doesn't mean he could not use it. It would all come to his terms when everything settles in. You have no direct connections for a possible political partnership, and zero direct passageways for his father to take everything for his gain; to conquer and control and get whatever he wanted.

It was his way of rebelling against his father.

And that was a perfect reason for a man like him to choose you as his bride; a convenience, the safest option to discard when he was done.
