Rohan's brows arched as he asked, "And how does your grandfather happen to know about James and make this marriage arrangement?"
"It's a past history that has nothing to do with you, my Lord. I don't see how my family history concerns you," Marquis Hart said uneasily but firmly.
"I am just curious, Sire, and once my curiosity is piqued, unless I get the answers, I get so restless that I kill a noble before I feel better. You are the only noble here, help me soothe this curiosity," Rohan said with a look so harmless one would think he was not capable of killing, but even the Marquis knew better from those eyes.
To protect his life, he decided to speak.
"Many years ago," the Marquis said, "the Marchant family held the position of the Marquis before my family."
