"Boy, Tomas Wichura is not to be underestimated. He is one of the strongest younger generation cultivators in the entire continent," Nicholas warned.
There were quite a few noble clans in the country of Nightingale, and each had produced their own prodigies, talented and unique in their own ways. Tomas Wichura was certainly not an easy opponent. He wasn't just a prodigy; he was also a noble vampire of the Wichura clan.
The Wichura clan might not be as powerful as the Scarlett clan, but they held dominion over the power of Wind, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Tomas Wichura, with his power of Wind and talent, was enough to place him among the prodigies of the continent. He would be a formidable opponent.
"What do you an, Father-in-law? Do you think I would lose to him?" Sam smiled lightly.
"What I an is, boy, if you're going to be with my daughter, you better get ready to be the absolute best and win this damn thing. Do you understand ?"
"I will win, and it's not arrogance but the truth. For my Alia, I will do anything, let alone defeat a vampire prodigy," Sam grinned with confidence, as if it were no big deal to fight and co out victorious against a vampire prodigy.
Nicholas beca silent for a mont before sighing, "I will speak with Count Wichura and let him know that if he wants his son to marry my daughter, his son will have to prove himself by defeating you."
"Now, if you guys excuse , I have work to do," with that, Nicholas finished his business there. He looked at his daughter. "Are you coming with , daughter?"
Alia shook her head. "Didn't I say it before? I won't leave my darling's side."
Nicholas just shook his head in displeasure and turned to leave.
Just as he crossed the door, a black shadow swiftly rged with his own shadow, blending in. No one, not even Nicholas, saw this except Sam, who knew the reason behind it.
'Good, my shadow soldier can blend in his shadow. This way, I can monitor what happens in Nightingale through him. I can also eavesdrop on his conversation with Count Wichura,' Sam smiled internally.
Once Adriana saw that Nicholas left the room, she turned her gaze to King Shun.
"As for King Shun, I offer you the sa proposal as I did to Count Nicholas. I will form an alliance with you as long as you are willing to marry your daughter to my grandson. With my clan and Flareheart clan as your ally, your clan's conflict will end, and you won't lose your throne. Fulmine clan's coup d'état will co to an end with you on the winning side. What's your answer?"
All of those present in the room were surprised, especially Sam, Helena, and Lorraine.
anwhile, Sophia pretended she didn't hear what just happened now. She felt like she would kill everyone here if she heard that Sam is getting girls left and right.
"What is mom doing?" Helena whispered to Lorraine and Ava, who were standing behind their mother, quietly listening to their conversation.
"Obviously, setting Sam up with won," Lorraine comnted.
"She is probably using this chance to acquire as many benefits as possible," Ava added.
"It doesn't seem like it. It looks more like she is adding more won to my son's harem, isn't it?" Helena said.
"Alia? I can understand; she is already like his wife. And Lenora, I already suspected sothing was going on between her and Sam. Now our mother is setting Sam up with the Lumin Kingdom's princess. After this, what would she ask Sam? To give her great-grandchildren?" Lorraine said sarcastically.
Helena and Ava remained silent, as if they didn't think this was a joke.
Lorraine shut her mouth. "I was joking, you guys didn't actually think... You know what? She might actually ask such a thing from Sam, and I won't even be surprised."
"Can I ask you guys sothing?" Ava asked suddenly out of the blue.
"Sure/yes," Lorraine and Helena nodded their heads.
"Why didn't you take with you when you two ran away to the mortal world? I understand the reason why you did what you did. I just don't understand why you guys didn't take with you," Ava asked with a serious expression.
Helena and Lorraine were silent. They didn't expect that their youngest sister would ask such a question at this mont.
"Why? Did you guys perhaps not trust enough, or you just didn't see as your sister anymore?" Ava's face turned gloomy.
"It's not that we didn't trust you or we didn't think of you as our sister. It's because I didn't want to put you in trouble. I just didn't want to leave our mother alone with those treacherous bastards. That was the only reason we had to leave you behind. The truth is, I wanted you to co with so badly.
There wasn't a day that went by in that shitty mortal realm when I haven't regretted leaving you behind," Helena's eyes turned moist with tears.
Lorraine gripped Ava's hand, "I love you just as much as I love our older sister, and she loves us just as much too. I can't believe you even got that idea that we didn't love you. It was hurtful to hear that stuff, my little sister."
"I'm sorry..." Ava slowly said, with a few tears escaping her eyes.
"Now, now, don't you cry. There is no need for tears," Helena wiped her tears with a little cloth that she always carried in her hands.
"We are sisters; we have to stick together. From now on, I and Lorraine will never keep secrets from you, okay?" Helena said, while Lorraine nodded her head in agreent.
"Yeah," Ava smiled a little with her older sisters.
'...Why do I feel like what we are doing now is sothing cringe-worthy?' Lorraine thought with a bitter expression.
"...Um," Ava seed to want to say sothing, but her face betrayed hesitation. It didn't escape her older sisters' eyes.
"Is sothing on your mind, Ava?" Helena asked.
"I want to get close to my nephew. I think I sohow developed a bad impression of him when we first t, but I now realize it was wrong, and I want to correct that mistake now."
