Thanks to Neia's story, Richard didn't have a very good impression of the Bleu Family.
He had also met Arthur Netora Re Von Bleu, who was a huge jerk.
These elements made him avoidant of that Noble Family in general. So, when he was told about the engagement to the Bleu Household, he had a natural aversion to it.
'I can understand the Noir Family's intentions. I can also accept responsibility for the Jaune girl, since it was my subordinate who went too far by humiliating her. But… the Bleu Family's engagement isn't something I want to accept.'
"Do I have a choice in the matter?" Richard sighed after his parents explained the whole arrangement to him and how they were considering those offers.
"Hm? Is there anyone in particular that you do not desire?"
"Yes…" Richard nodded a little hesitantly. "I don't want to be engaged to the Bleu Family's girl."
"I see. What are your reasons?"
Richard exhaled.
