That leaves him only one year to get married so he can pass on his title to an heir.<br><br>Ideally the lady he marries will be a spinster who isn't all that interested in marriage but will be happy to be a mother.

She gives him the one thing he lost over the years: hope.<br><br>Reina knows Algernon believes he's cursed but she doesn't. The poor gentleman has lived under the heaviness of sorrow for so long that he hasn't really learned to enjoy life. He deserves a love match.
