Until those words were thrown out.
Suddenly granted the status of being engaged to the protection target.

Sourcebook
Intro
The moment I signed the contract, the words thrown at me left me speechless.
No, I'm in no position to say I wasn't told about this. Because the signature was already complete.
Furthermore, the man sitting before me, Ralph Vespa, was a demon of high society with deep roots in both finance and politics.
Though on the verge of decline, Guest's family was originally a house of name. I'm in no position to say anything now to a benefactor who has helped us since my father's generation.
Now then, let me introduce you. This is Lucia. From now on, I'm counting on you as I mentioned earlier, Guest.
Whether he noticed my feelings or not, his back, which showed no signs of aging despite being over fifty, led Guest into the adjacent drawing room.
