Chapter 10 - William Altavis Proposes to Rosalia

The atmosphere in the guild lobby became silent and no one made a sound after Kazien stated his intentions and purpose in coming to the guild with his two brothers.

As for Rosalia, she was still in a state of shock and disbelief at what was happening.

So, the person he wanted to introduce to me was young master William? Seriously! Why is he introducing me to him? I'm getting nervous like this.

"I promised you I'd introduce someone to you. Brother William is the one I'll introduce to you!"

"I-I thought you were just telling me a joke."

Kazien clicked her tongue while moving her index finger left and right. "Tsk tsk tsk! I'm not joking, and I'm really worried about my brother! He is the future heir to my father's title, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend."

Kazien brought his face closer and looked at Rosalia's face from a fairly close distance.

"You know what? I'm a little disappointed because I, the youngest, already have a future wife before the two of them!"

Alvin smiled wryly seeing Kazien speak frankly about his feelings in front of everyone. But when Kazien turned around, he didn't expect his two brothers to be staring at Rosalia in stunned silence.

"Hey!" He exclaimed loudly, patting their chests.

"What? What's wrong?" William replied, suddenly snapping back to reality.

"Why did you surprise me, Kazien?" Davin replied, also surprised.

Kazien sighed.

"Why are you two so stunned? Are you smitten with her?"

"W-What are you saying? I was just thinking about something!" William said evasively.

"You're right, Kazien. She's so beautiful! If Brother William doesn't want her, let me be her husban." Davin said as if he was stoking the flames of war with William.

William didn't want Rosalia, whom his brother had worked so hard to introduce, to fall in love with Davin.

If she fell in love with Davin, all the efforts Kazien had made for me would be in vain. He would be disappointed in me if I didn't dare to talk to and get to know Rosalia.

"What do you mean by that, Davin?"

"If you're not interested in her, let me be her husband!"

"You think I'll let it happen?"

William and Davin's fight over Rosalia had heated up the atmosphere in the guild lobby. Everyone watched as the two brothers argued over Rosalia.

Young Master William and Young Master Davin are fighting over me? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy. But why are they acting like this? They're even arguing so fiercely just to fight over me.

"If you really like her, just tell her! Or should I propose first?" Davin demanded.

"What do you say? I won't let you!" William said firmly.

Davin looked at Rosalia's beautiful face and then extended his hand forward.

"Rosalia, you're so-"

William immediately covered Davin's mouth with his left hand. "Hmmpp!!!"

Rosalia, honestly, I was captivated by you at first sight. "A-A-Are you willing to be my f-f-future wife?"

The proposal that William had made in front of everyone made the lobby fall silent. Those who witnessed the proposal became silent as if they wanted to hear Rosalia's answer to William.

With his mouth covered, Davin widened his eyes when he saw William daring to propose to a woman in front of so many people.

What am I seeing right now? This dodgy guy dared to propose to Rosalia in front of everyone?

Rosalia was shocked yet happy at the same time.

Young Master William proposed to me? Was I dreaming?

"What is your answer, Rosalia?"

I really wanted to say yes to him. But, is a commoner like me allowed to marry a noble like him?

"B-But, are you sure you want to propose to a commoner like me?"

"Altavis family doesn't care about your social status! As long as you love me and I love you, my family will approve of our relationship!"

"My youngest brother and Alvin are an example. Even though they are of the same sex and also different races, our parents approved of them because they both love each other. And for our parents, our happiness is everything."

Rosalia and everyone else in the lobby couldn't believe that the Altavis family never cared about someone's social status.

"My mother once said that at first she was just a commoner and an orphan, you know. So, you don't have to be so surprised." Kazien added William's words.

Everyone became even more astonished after hearing Kazien's words. No one would have thought that Duchess Larina was a commoner before marrying Duke Elgard.

"Young Master William, wouldn't you be ashamed to have a future wife like me?"

"Even my younger brother, who married someone of the same sex, isn't ashamed. Why should I be ashamed just because I married you?"

Kazien immediately glared at him angrily. "What do you mean by making that comparison in front of me, Brother William?"

"That's basically it, isn't it? If you were embarrassed, how could you possibly acknowledge Alvin as your future wife, you idiot!"

"Ah… that's right!"

Alvin burst out laughing at Kazien's expression.

"Why are you laughing?" Kazien asked in surprise.

"You're funny! Hahaha."

After the atmosphere in the lobby calmed down, William asked Rosalia once more.

"So, what's your answer?"

"I-If you don't mind my social status, then I'll gladly accept your proposal."

"YEAH!"

Davin, Kazien, and Alvin shouted simultaneously. Everyone, including William, was shocked because Davin also joined in celebrating the successful proposal.

Immediately, William turned and saw the three of them high-fiving each other.

"What's the point of all this, Davin? Don't you also like Rosalia? But why are you celebrating with them?"

"Hahaha. I know your character. That's why they and I put on an act to get you to propose!"

William glared at Kazien. "So, this was all your plan? You deliberately provoked me and immediately proposed to Rosalia?"

"Hahaha. You're so hard to admit your own feelings. If we hadn't provoked you, you would never have confessed your feelings to her!"

William immediately pulled Kazien's cheek, making him groan in pain.

"Ouch! Brother William, let go of your hand! Your pinching will make my cheek uneven!"

"This is your punishment! Do you need Virena to punish you?"

"No! I don't want to!"

Davin laughed out loud, but he was also happy that William had found a wife. Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. The three brothers were very close.

Even though they were involved in a heated argument, it turned out that the three of them had planned everything so that young master William would dare to propose to me.

And in my eyes, the three of them seemed to support each other without hesitation. What a harmonious family.

Cheers rang out in the guild lobby. All the adventurers in the lobby congratulated William and Rosalia. However…

"Kazien, you promised me, right? I hope you'll keep your promise!"

"Hahaha. Yes. Just wait, I'll definitely keep my promise to you."

William, curious, immediately asked them: "Promise? What promise?"

Kazien whispered to him: "He also wants to find a beautiful woman like you, brother William."

He laughed out loud after hearing his brother's answer. Davin became annoyed with William.

"Don't tease me!"

"Hahaha."

My brothers have fought for me. I never thought Kazien could find a woman as beautiful and kind as her. If I hadn't accepted his invitation earlier, I would have regretted my stupid decision. Kazien, Davin, Alvin, thank you so much. You are the best.

Since the proposal was successful, William always met Rosalia every other day during break time. The couple enjoyed their time together at the guild bar.

In the living room, Davin approached Kazien who was sitting alone. And he wanted to ask his brother about that promise.

"Kazien, when will you find her for me?"

"Brother Davin, I haven't been anywhere and you're still 16. Be patient."

"You can talk like that because you already have Alvin! Only me and Sister Virena don't have a boyfriend yet."

"I understand, Brother Davin. Don't be gloomy like that. Your handsome face is becoming unpleasant to look at."

Davin sat on the sofa while looking at his face. "How long do I have to wait?"

"Probably six months at the most. Brother Davin, you can wait, right? This is for your own good."

Davin sighed and tried to calm his mind.

"Okay, I'll wait. If you find her, please let me meet her right away!"

"Okay! When the time comes, I'll definitely let you meet her."
