Julian didn't get the answer about clothes. So, he asked another question, "Should I propose to her tonight in front of her family?"
Phil, "..."
Arthur, "..."
Ezra remained silent.
Julian added, "I haven't formally proposed to her. This time I don't want her to lack anything, so I came out with this idea."
"Proposing in front of her family can better express my sincerity. And also prove to them that If I hurt her in the future, they can punish me."
Phil and Arthur all fell silent. They were shocked by Julian's words.
Ezra, who has been silent, said, "I suggest that you don't propose tonight."
Julian didn't want to talk to him, but he couldn't ignore him either, so he asked, "Why?"
Ezra said, "I can't tell why, but I have a hunch that even if you propose, you will be rejected."
Julian was speechless.
He said in anger, "Your silence is appreciated."
Ezra said reluctantly, "I didn't want to say it. But I got a feeling that you'll get rejected. I know you don't like me now yet I still said it. I was just trying to save your reputation."
"Think about it, everyone in the Longerich family must be here tonight. They are all big figures. How awkward it would be if you are rejected in public?"
Now Julian didn't want to say a word to Ezra.
Arthur answered in due time, "Do you have the ring?"
"Yes." Julian was well prepared. "I've prepared one last time." Later, she broke up with me because of her health. I sold the ring in rage. Recently, I prepared another one and kept it with me."
Phil said, "So you're ready to propose at any time?"
"In case I need it." Julian felt glad that he had brought the ring with him to the Capital.
Arthur said, "Since you are ready, do it. Stop mulling over the result."
Phil also agreed.
Ezra didn't speak again since he knew Julian wouldn't listen.
Anyway, the embarrassment would be Julian's if he failed the proposal.
Since Phil and Arthur agreed to propose, Julian decided to do it.
However, at the thought of it, Julian felt nervous, although he had gone through all kinds of situations.
He didn't care about whether he'd be rejected. He only wished he wouldn't be too nervous to speak.
Before Emelia woke up, Julian had thought of what to say and practiced several times in front of the mirror.
After the nap, Emelia felt better. Julian invited her to choose some clothes for him later.
