"Father...you know you don't have to sacrifice a lot for . I'm fine the way I am and I don't want you to worry about "
In the household of the Jazz Family, a young lady could be seen in a wheelchair with eyes that had no hope for her deprived situation.
"Sweety...I'm sorry that your father can't change your life, but at least, I hope that I can find a man that can protect you for the rest of your life"
The patriarch of the family said as he caressed his daughter's cheeks with heartwarming eyes and love that would sacrifice everything for his daughter.
"I have promised your deceased mother that I would take care of you and wouldn't let any harm befall you, and you know...my ti is running out. I have reached almost the end of my lifespan...and before I go, I'll need to ensure that there's a man who can protect you"
"Father..." The girl was emotional with his words and she knows that her father would soon et his end she was frustrated that she couldn't do anything about it.
'I-If only I wasn't born useless, father wouldn't have to sacrifice a lot! If only my life had been a bit different, my mother wouldn't have had to sacrifice her life for !'
She hates and loathes herself for being useless and she has begged the gods countless tis to sohow give her a chance to cultivate.
Alas, nobody listened to her. Moreover, if she doesn't find a man to marry, the position of the nobility and patriarch would go to the next succession in line from either one of the branches.
And she knows what would happen if the power would go to a different branch.
'I-Is there no other way?' She refused to believe and deny the reality, and just when she thought of this question, a guard entered the room.
"P-Patriarch, Lady Fresia has co to visit!"
"Fresia? What in the world is she doing here? I thought she was going through a power struggle. What makes her so free that she has the ti to visit ?" He questioned whether she had motives behind this sudden visit.
"Let them in, and I'll welco her in a few minutes" However, he still chose to et them as it was unusual for her to visit him.
"Yes, patriarch!" The Guard ran back to the entrance to relay the ssage.
"You stay here for a while alright sweetheart? I'm going to see what the Matriarch of the Ronia Family wants" He kissed her forehead.
"Alright, Father..."
A few minutes later, Fresia and Daniel entered a room where they were served by the servants of the house and they were greeted by the Patriarch of the Jazz Family, Viston Jazz.
"It has been a long ti since I saw you. How have you been Fresia...?" He welcod her courteously out of respect for the position she has.
"I don't know, perhaps 3 years? You know the noble families' heads don't even bother to have etings for the city's welfare"
She replied with a tone that suggests that they are not close to each other.
"For that, I do agree which is why I wonder what pleasure of your visit I owe?"
He poured a glass of wine for her and soon his eyebrow was raised as he had just noticed another man that sat oddly close to her.
"Forgive . It seems I just realized that you brought a guest with you. May I?" He then poured another glass of wine and offered it up to Daniel.
"This is a good wine" Fresia took a sip gracefully with the mannerism how a Matriarch should have.
"Glad you like it" He smiled knowing that she liked it.
"Still, I wonder why you have decided to visit suddenly. This isn't like you, Fresia. The Cold and rarely verbal woman that I know of wouldn't use her ti for soone else"
"I know you're experiencing a hard ti with your situation. But it doesn't make sense for you to co here"
"I know you have a lot of questions Viston and I admit that this isn't like . But if you want to know why, then, the man beside is soone that I declare as my master and my husband"
She hugged Daniel and kissed him on the lips to show and prove their relationship. However, the Viston frowned at her act, at the sa ti, he was baffled by her exclamation.
"What did I just hear? H-He's your master and husband!?" He froze for a second as he found it hard to believe.
"Fresia! I'm aware that your husband, sons, and even the whole clan had betrayed you. But I wouldn't expect you to fall so low to the point of committing adultery! At best, you could have divorced him right away!"
"And what did you an master!? How can sobody like him be your master!? Young man, I an no disrespect, but if you're using any demonic techniques on her, trust , I would hunt you down!"
He growled at Daniel with hatred like never before. He was clueless why Fresia would act this way, and he assud it was due to Daniel's 'demonic techniques'.
And being reminded of his wife's death due to that, he beca angry.
"Sigh, I expect you to react this way and I hope that this will convince you of his abilities"
"What did you an?" Viston questioned and he saw her standing up before she raised her hand to her chest level, and out of sudden, a dark blue mist erged before it grew bigger that eventually beca a portal.
"W-What is this!?" Viston fell onto the ground with fear on his face. His legs trembled and his mouth gagged. He recognized what this portal symbolizes, and he was also familiar with its aura.
"H-How can it be!? How can you create a portal that has the sa aura as the A-Ascended R-Realm!?" He pointed his finger at Fresia with a pale expression.
