"You really won't be marrying them? Like any one of them?"
It was the third time the blonde had asked.
But important things needed to be confirmed at least three times, so sue him.
"I told you already—"
Killian abruptly stopped walking and raised a finger right in front of Ollie's face, causing the blonde to go cross-eyed as he tried to follow it. The official looked as though he'd suddenly arrived at an important decision and simply had to announce it.
"You know what? I'll even swear it."
"Huh?"
"Yeah. I'll do exactly that." Killian straightened slightly before declaring with all the solemnity of someone making a legally binding statement. "I swear on your height that I, Killian Nox, eldest son of House Nox, have absolutely no desire to marry into the Aerun Royal Family. Therefore, short of being taken at gunpoint, no such marriage shall occur, or my brother-in-law's already limited stature shall shrink even further, so help me God."
