TAUPE - YET ANOTHER SIDE QUEST (273)
Once Akachi let down his guard a bit, Kigosi saw a man who tried hard to build a legacy for himself. A man with little family left and self-made wealth.
Some women may find it intimidating to fill a space a Grand Duchess has left behind, but a woman like Kigosi sees it as a favor – she moved aside so he could have someone who’s focused on truly building something with him.
Kigosi is of the belief that love grows, not only happens instantaneously. It’s easy to feel attraction, but she always believed in legacy - building something from the ground up.
But is he attractive? Yes.
Is he in good standing? He still got to keep his title after his loss, so yes.
Could she see herself bearing his children? After looking at those broad shoulders, absolutely.
“ So what’s next? “ Kigosi asked. “ Where do we go from here? “
Akachi told her that depends – given the engagement festivities, normally a Noble would bring their prospect to the Royal Family for approval. However, given their unique circumstances, that rule has been waived.
Kigosi asked if there is a courting period or just a proposal and engagement.
Akachi told her it can be whatever she prefers - they can agree on an engagement, or he could propose more traditionally,
“ As I have never been married, I would like to be proposed to traditionally. Our parents are no longer with us, but I would still like to hear your intentions formally, accompanied by a ring, of course. “
IKTR Kigosi! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💍💍💍✨✨✨
“ Then you shall have it.” The Count says with a smile.
The Count suggested they go ring shopping so she could select exactly what she wants. He’ll take possession of it, then propose to her formally. And since their parents are no longer with us, he will visit her sister and ask her permission.
Akashi sent a picture to the Duke to let him know his choice has been made.
“ Well done.” The Duke says, taking great pride in his suggestion.
