"To who? When?" He moves and keeps touch with her, his hands holding her at her elbows, afraid that losing contact with her would mean losing her forever.
Tora shook her head and forced herself not to pull away from his touch. "Some really rich guy who has an awesome social status. I don't even know his full name. Only met the guy once." He had been a pompous jerk who figured she, like every other female on earth--which included Tora's mother--would swoot at his feet. Yeah right, she thought. Her parents had forced her into this 'union' to "help her".
He smiles weakly at that. "Eh? So he's rich huh? I have a fortune to my name.." He smiles a bit. "But not a lot of people know it.. It's not a... public knowledge.."
She tore out of his grip, spun around and stared up at him, her gaze hard. "Then go tell my parents that. Money means nothing to me. And that's not the point. The point is that my parents have made a deal with this guy and I'm supposed to get married to him. If I don't, people could get killed." She shook her head and brushed past him.
Supressing a sigh, she only dipped her head. "I doubt it," she mutterd. Some of the men her betrothed had hired were obviously very good at their job, considering they had found her in less than a month.
