conversations.value:  “I beg you, be silent for just one moment,” I interrupted. Rae genuinely hadn’t a single clue how important this was. This wasn’t remotely similar to two commoners marrying out of love. If it ever got out that she’d rejected a prince, the myriad nobles who were trying to marry their daughters into the royal family would throw a fit. She was basically painting a target on her back. Even if Rod himself wasn’t offended, others would consider her refusal a blatant insult to the royal family. As wise as he was, Rod was likely ready to suppress such sentiments, but he couldn’t do anything to prevent people covertly making moves—or even assassination attempts on her! Rae’s best option was to accept Rod’s proposal and be under his direct protection. I asked, “Master Rod, please do not withdraw your proposal just yet.”
