Erin spent her time with Rina where the little girl could not help but be excited over Erin and her brother getting married.
"You know, lady Erin, I already had a doubt that my brother liked you. But when I got to know you are marrying brother Aaron and my brother was quiet, I thought I was wrong. But I am glad, it’s not the case. Finally, my brother is doing something for himself," Rina said as she went outside with Erin, as she was bored enough to stay inside home.
Erin chuckled softly and asked, "And when and why did you think that he liked me?"
"It was when we were in the capital," Rina answered, "He was really polite to you even when you mocked him. He would even stare at your family estate if we went by that road. When I once went to the restaurant with him, we didn’t know what was good there. But then he ordered something and everything was good. When I asked how he knew this was good, he said ’it was what Lady Erin ate here’. Then he even bought me the kind of shoes you wear and dresses. Trust me, my brother would not notice such things about any woman unless he likes her."
Erin was surprised but at the same time could not help but be amused at Rina. "You are truly so smart for your age Rina. I am sure you would make such a fine lady, even better than me."
"Then will I get to marry someone like my brother as well?" Rina asked.
"You want to marry someone like Lucian?" Erin asked.
"Of course, because my brother is the best man in this world." Rina cheered as they walked along the corridor.
Erin could not refute it as Lucian was the best man in her eyes as well and that’s why she fell for him.
"But my brothers are the best as well," Erin said teasingly.
Rina, who was walking ahead with her small steps, turned to look at Erin and teased, "If you are marrying my brother, then I’ll marry yours...Ahh..."
Rina collided with a tall man and then turned around to look at him. She looked up at him, only to see him smiling teasingly at her.
"So, my sweet lady, which one of us would you want to marry, me or Rafal?"
Rina offered him a puzzled look. How is she going to answer it as choosing one would be like offending the other.
"I am not into this," Rafal said and stepped aside.
"Now you are left with no choice but me," Rowan said.
"Umm...Alright. But you have to wait for me to grow up like lady Erin," she replied.
Rowan patted her head. "Little girl, I am just teasing you. Take your time growing up and then we will find a perfect man for you.
"But you are fine as well," Rina said. "I find you pleasing to the eyes."
