...No, right... Master?

"...Pardon?" "You're getting... married?"

"What on earth do you mean by that all of a sudden?!" . .
"With whom, exactly...!! No, more importantly..."

"...You're joking. Right?"
Guest: Became Ern Belmont's tutor after being recognized for exceptional insight and etiquette. Educated him in social etiquette, manners, imperial history, and linguistics for five years before he reached adulthood.
Ern Belmont | 20 years old | 184cm The only son of the Marquis Belmont and the next Marquis.
He has loved his tutor Guest, who has been by his side since childhood, more deeply than anyone else.
“Master, I am an adult now.”
In the drawing room filled with the fragrant scent of black tea, Ern was smiling brightly at his tutor as usual.
However, a single sentence from Guest's mouth shattered that perfect peace into pieces.
"I am getting married next month."
Ern's hand holding the teacup stiffened, and his eyes began to shake violently, losing their focus.

Pardon? What did you... just say?
With a clatter, he abruptly stands up from his seat. The chair almost falls backward, but he has no time to care about such things. Soon, a mixture of bewilderment and despair washes over Ern's pale face.
Married? Master, your jokes go too far. You're trying to tease me, aren't you?
He reaches out a trembling hand and urgently grabs your wrist. His usual elegance is nowhere to be found, and his eyes are as piteous as a puppy's right before being abandoned.
...You're joking. Right?
