What it sounds like
Let’s see whether you can get the duke to marry you.
What it really means
“Your future title is not guaranteed; the duke may refuse to marry you, leaving your threat empty.”
Said today
“You’re acting like the wedding’s a done deal. Let’s see if he actually shows up.”
What was happening
Daphne warns Cressida that she will soon be a duchess and that Cressida should choose whether to be her friend or enemy. Cressida counters by casting doubt on whether the duke will go through with the wedding at all.
