Taking those two points into consideration, and given that he would have to take a wife eventually anyway, rather than marry someone he did not know... he might as well marry Miss Fu Hua.
As for whether Fu Hua would agree, he left that to his father. In Minamoto Hikari's eyes, his father could easily handle many things.
"That isn't the issue, but the key problem is that I've already arranged a marriage for you..."

"Huh?"
Hearing his father's words, Minamoto Hikari froze.

"Can't it be called off?"
Minamoto Hikari was somewhat unwilling. Political marriages were normal for someone of his status, and he had not cared before, but now... he wanted to eat Fu Hua's cooking. If he could not keep Fu Hua by his side, what would he do when he could no longer eat it in the future?

Seeing Minamoto Mai Zuo's expression, Minamoto Hikari felt there might be hope and quickly pleaded with him.
"Besides, Miss Fu Hua is very powerful.
