Candidate for pleasure (Patryven I)
Pov: Peter
Yesterday was James engagement, It has already been a tiring day.
" Peter...James has already been engaged isn't he? Though it's a man, A noble is allowed to have a man as his lover to please himself. A Young lady is always necessary. To produce a splendid heir for the family, Come to think of it, it's time for you to find a young lady suitable for you isn't it?" Father said at the dinning table, where me, My other 5 brothers and My mother sat.
" Yes father, I know, it's time. " I replied.
" Father, fret not, I'll find him a suitable candidate to please himself, later he can marry any noble woman of his choice who'll bear his kids. " said Ostero, My oldest brother.
I fell third in terms of age in between my siblings.
" Of course, you will " said Father.
The dinning hall was so suffocating for me at the time. It was draining all my energy. The wine I was drinking felt like fucking poison. Red wine, Red poison.
With every sip, the wine started to make my sore throat even more sore till the point, I started having difficulty in speaking.
It was my way of choking myself as to not answer or to excuse myself from listening to my family's useless shit.
- A fews days have passed. It was Monday, it's Friday now.
" Peter! I found them " Shouted my brother while running towards me.
I was sitting in my garden, having tea all alone.
" *Breath* I *Breath* found *Breath* you a suitable candidate. "
" What?! " Is all that could escape from my mouth as I turned my head towards my brother.
" Remember, What we talking about on Monday? I did it. I found you 2 suitable candidate! " said Ostero.
" This...why, How- " I was shut off by Ostero.
" You're going on a date with both of them on the following Wednesday. Here, Take a look at them. " He said.
Then he presented me their portfolio, which contained their details.
" Brown hair, Brown eyes...Young heir of the Crouch family...Barty Crouch Jr...wait Barty Crouch junior?! " I spat my tea out. " Isn't he the son and the young heir of *THE* Crouch family? I mean *that* Crouch family? Known for their Demenour? " I said in a loud voice.
" Yeah " he replied.
" The other one...no way...Evan Rosier? One of the young men of the Rosier Family? " I said in a state of shock...
" Yeah..."
" But...How?! Why? "
" They were interested in you. "
" No way..."
There's no way they could be interested in me.
First off, we've never met or talked...or maybe we have danced in prom once all three of us that too was in my final year of school in hogwarts. Been three years since then.
Second, I'm way too introverted to be their type. Too shy. I love reading books, that's why I'm also a "bookworm" I guess that's what they say I am. But I enjoy books.
Anyways I never attend any events. I never really go out of the estate except for the times when I have to go out and get romance novels for me to read. Like Caraval. It's must read. I definitely recommend it.
" Peter you must go! Please, Peter. " Ostero begged me to go.
Due to pressure from my brother and duties that follow me, I accept it.
" Fine, I will go on the date you arranged for me..." I said hesitantly.
" Thank you brother! " And he ran off screaming 'Father! Father!' just to tell him the news of my date.
Though this still remains a mystery as to why they both are interested in me...I mean I admit they look hot...yeah. wait what. What's wrong with fuck- Did I just call them hot? Geh. No way. Yeah, definitely no way.
Guess the answer to my question will be given at the day of my date. Which is Wednesday. Will Wednesday day truly be the day my "wedding" will be decided to shall there be no wedding. I wonder.
