"Don't get ahead of yourself! Hertha snapped, her gaze darting away, refusing to acknowledge the claim.

Alaric grabbed her hand, lifting it up, "Look at this, what's shining on your finger? A ring, an engagement ring! You've already put it on, and now you wanna back out?"

"Fine, I'll give it back to you, happy now?" Hertha reached for the ring, determined to remove it.

It was a desperate move. Did Alaric really think there was anything more to it?

Seeing Hertha actually trying to remove the ring, Alaric quickly clasped her other hand to stop her.

"Who backs out of an engagement just like that? Hertha, we haven't even left this hotel. Aren't you worried that woman might be lurking around, ready to film this and cause drama at Spencer's wedding?"
