If You Want To Possess Me (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 42

A few days ago, someone from House of Hiran personally came to see Kisa, carrying a letter in hand.

Previously, Kisa had sent Seyard a letter congratulating him on his debut into high society, delivered through her father, Count Bansfeldt.

Though there had been a sudden engagement announcement since then—enough for him to forget—it seemed he had properly sent a reply.

The letter contained words of thanks for her congratulations, reflections on how high society was less forgiving than he had imagined, and what appeared to be an invitation for a date.

“I wish to have your time—will you grant it to me?”

Kisa replied that she would gladly give it.
