"Really? But I'm just a commoner," Kate doubted. She found it strange that someone like her could become a real Duchess. "It would be embarrassing for you to bring me into those fancy noble dinner parties."
Henry smiled and held Kate's hand, "Weren't you the one who told me that you often imagined yourself as a Duchess or a Queen? We danced in that castle in Canada, and I promised to make you one."
"I—I thought it was just a sweet, nonsensical talk we usually do when we want to have a good time," Kate said. "I am just a commoner, a divorcee as well. Can you continue holding your Duke position without me?"
Henry knew that Kate was intimidated by the idea of becoming part of the nobility, but this was also one of his methods to completely bind Kate to his side.
The moment Kate was officially recognized as a Duchess, there was no way she could just run away like she did two years ago.
