Cape Holiday·When Your Fiancée Becomes Your Good Brother…_3

But silence itself is an answer, and both of them knew that given their backgrounds, the opinions of two young people on marriage actually did not matter.

Both families had already arranged everything, and the fact that he did not refuse Miss Biqi’s invitation to dance the first dance with her at the banquet on the first night of the Colonel’s return home meant he had in fact accepted the arranged marriage.

They were both very clear about this.

“That’s great!”

Seeing Colonel Fraser’s prolonged lack of response, Miss Biqi also let out a sigh of relief and, under the Colonel’s astonished gaze, the young lady from the knightly family relaxedly replied:

“I actually don’t like you either; I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings, so I’ve been trying to accommodate your trip these past few days.

Of course, this isn’t to say you don’t have charm, Fraser.

Actually, I can confidently tell you that you are the finest peer I have seen from my childhood to adulthood, without exception!

Your appearance is handsome, your personality gentle yet not weak, and you have been warring for the nation for ten years—just this point alone makes you a hundred times better than those flies around me.

You have, like me, socialized with Half-body Men and encountered those novel pieces of knowledge; your future is boundless and filled with light.

You’re like a more impressive male version of me.

If I were a man, I would also long to have a life like yours.

Truly, when I suffer from insomnia at midnight, I do consider that marrying you might leave my life without any regrets.

But the problem is, being excellent and outstanding doesn’t necessarily mean that sparks will fly…”

Miss Biqi shook her head.

With an open and honest posture, she said to Colonel Fraser, who was seated straight across from her:

“I would very much like to be friends with you; your personality is certainly well suited to friendship.

If family pressure forces us to ultimately become husband and wife, I wouldn’t resist bearing descendants for you.

But marriage is marriage, and love is love.

Since we’ve touched upon this subject, then I must tell you that the love I am looking for is just like my admiration for my grandfather.

I hope to have a romance like the one between my grandparents, one so romantic it nearly only exists in stories…

My grandfather came from humble beginnings, but my grandmother fell for him at first sight.

To gain the approval of the Xie Wei’er Family for their love, my grandfather spent years completing six nearly impossible challenges, even becoming a Grail Knight in the process and crafting a legend in Nantes City that has lasted a hundred years.

My grandmother waited for him with no regrets, regardless of what others said, even carrying poison with her to avoid being coerced by others.

At the age of 45, she finally got together with my grandfather.

I hope for a love that can be celebrated, not to be sent off into the Capet Family as a breeding machine in the name of an arranged marriage.

Perhaps saying this will hurt your feelings…

But the truth is, Fraser, you fall just short of the standards I’ve set for choosing a husband.”

The atmosphere in the room quieted down for a moment.

Colonel Fraser’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

On one hand, Miss Biqi’s proactive honesty spared him the label of a “scumbag.”

But on the other hand, this experience of being actively rejected by a lady was really unpleasant, the blow to his masculine charm was somewhat extraordinary.

“Snap”

A few seconds later, under the stunned gaze of Miss Biqi, Fraser took out the pistol from his waist and slapped it onto the table.

This scared his fiancee to death.

She thought her words had provoked this man into a joint suicide, but that was not the case.

“This gun, a gift from a girl in Transylvania,”

Colonel Fraser said to his fiancee:

“I must confess to you at this very important moment for both of us, Biqi, that your arrival did not stir my soul as much as Miss Milian did.

Of course, this doesn’t mean I have any ulterior motives towards Miss Milian.

I just think that what you said just now was very true.

Admiration is one thing, but love is another.

I admire your character.”

“I think you’re the most handsome and dashing girl I’ve ever seen from childhood till now.

If we must come together, then I will maintain this admiration until the moment my life ends.”

“But before that, I think it’s better for us to maintain our current ‘friends’ relationship.”

“I’ll take care of both families so you won’t feel any pressure.

As for our future, I hope we can at least wait until after the Black Disaster is over.”

“What do you think?”

“Hmm…

pinky promise?”

Miss Biqi blinked her eyes and stretched out her pinky finger towards Fraser, pouting as she spoke:

“This is the first time a man has rejected me so straightforwardly…”

“The feeling is mutual, it’s also the first time a lady has scorned me for lack of charm.”

The colonel shrugged his shoulders, extended his pinky finger to hook with his fiancée’s, the two exchanged glances, then burst into laughter together, and the awkwardness disappeared in an instant.

“Do you really want to go to Transylvania?”

Fraser said:

“The Cape Family just happens to have a production line to send to Governor Murphy in Transylvania and to set up a factory there.

If you wish, I can leave this matter entirely in your charge.”

“Ah?

Can I really do it?”

Miss Biqi’s eyes sparkled as she spoke:

“Isn’t that your family’s business?

Won’t my current status be a bit presumptuous?”

“No, you are my fiancée.”

The colonel shook his head and said:

“No one dares to mess with you, so stand tall, and go ahead with confidence.

But, I do have a favor to ask of you.

In fact, I came to Nantes City for this very reason.”

Fraser stood up, took a sketch from the bedside table, and handed it to Miss Biqi who opened it and saw it was a depiction of a very special design for a bracelet.

The colonel said:

“I think I’ve seen this design before, in the Anjou Region…”

“This is the Beverley Family’s crest!”

Miss Biqi said with certainty:

“Baron Beverley’s father was once a jeweler serving the Royal Family, and he bravely protected the Queen—mother of the current King Louis—at the time of the old King’s assassination.

That brave jeweler died for the country and was thus conferred a baronetcy.

The design of this bracelet comes from his last work, and only the ladies of their family are allowed to wear such a bracelet.

Where did you find this?”

She looked into the colonel’s eyes, curious:

“Baron Beverley passed away three years ago from a heart condition without leaving any descendants, and the family is on the brink of extinction.

A bunch of incompetent distant relatives are fighting over the inheritance; the lawsuits have reached the city hall and the ChapterCourt.

However, my father just received an order from the Exploration Corps, so he’s gearing up to swallow Beverley’s fiefdom to expand our family’s workshop.”

“Hmm, dear Biqi, I’m afraid your father is going to be disappointed.”

Fraser shook his head and said:

“Baron Beverley probably has an illegitimate daughter, and it’s she who gave me this gun.

She’s Miss Milian, a girl as dashing as you, and another of my junior sisters.

That’s part of her inheritance.

And as I suspected, she indeed is one of us.

What do you say, should we help serve justice?”

“?!

Are you asking me?

That’s the juicy piece my father is planning to devour.

Fraser, have you lost your mind?”

“But you don’t like the way your father does things nowadays.

Your dream since childhood has been to be a knight who administers justice, just like your grandfather, right?”

“Hmm, that makes sense!

Then help me think this through, what should we do?”
