"It's settled then," Adriana clapped, getting their attention. "Our alliance is officially ford. Well, if you think about it, you are not just getting the backing of the Hailstorm clan but also the Flareheart clan and Scarlett Vampire clan."
"It is," King Shun nodded as he looked at his daughter.
After realizing what kind of life she would have with Sam, Yuna couldn't keep her eyes off of him. It's like sothing inside her finally set her free.
It felt like she found the thing that she had been searching for her whole life, like her life just got complete. She felt complete herself.
After that, Adriana and King Shun had a very serious political discussion where they talked about various matters regarding their newly ford alliance.
They also discussed Sam's relationship with Yuna, just like how Adriana did with Count Nicholas.
It was decided that Yuna's betrothal to Sam would be officially announced.
Announcing Yuna's betrothal to Sam to the world was another way of saying that the Hailstorm clan was supporting King Shun and his faction of the Fulmine clan.
As for Alia's betrothal to Sam, it would be announced once Sam beats Tomas Wichura in battle.
"Matriarch Hailstorm, if I may, can I ask you to keep my daughter with you until I resolve the matters of my clan and kingdom?" King Shun requested.
"Of course, she is my granddaughter-in-law. For her, this is nothing but a small thing," Adriana smiled at Yuna, making her blush hard.
King Shun took his daughter's hand and said to her secretly, "Listen, my daughter, take this opportunity and spend so ti with him. Get to know him. If you don't like him, just tell , and I will break off this engagent. You have nothing to worry about."
"Father, for so reason, I feel like he is the best partner I could ask for. I don't think he will make regret this arrangent ever," Yuna said, not knowing why she was feeling this way.
King Shun was taken aback. He observed her face, trying to find anything unusual that might be the cause of his daughter's unusual change of attitude. His daughter was usually cold and unimpressed, not one to be easily convinced. Hearing these words from her made him think that sothing must be wrong with his daughter.
"If you say so, Yuna, I trust you," and with that, King Shun left.
Just as he crossed the door, similar to Count Nicholas, Sam had sent a shadow soldier into his shadow. 'With this, I will also learn about everything happening with Qilins and Lumin Kingdom. Now that he has beco my father-in-law, I have to look out for him if he is in any danger. The Lord of the Abyss will always look out for him from the shadows.
"Duncan, I will let you oversee the alliance with the Scarlett clan and with King Shun. It should go smoothly without trouble," Adriana instructed.
"Yes, matriarch," Duncan replied.
As if rembering sothing, Adriana asked, "By the way, why are you here at this hour?"
"I heard the first and second princess ca back, so I wanted to et them. Also, I wanted to see what our clan's true heir is like," Duncan's gaze transferred to Sam when he finished the last sentence.
"Now that you have seen him and how talented he is with your own eyes, tell what do you think about the heir I have chosen?" Adriana asked with a small smile.
"If he doesn't deserve to be our clan's heir, then nobody is," Duncan replied calmly.
"I agree," Adriana nodded in satisfaction.
"Matriarch, there is sothing I have to ask of you. And I sincerely hope that you would accept this request of mine," Duncan said while looking at her daughter, who nodded back at him.
Adriana, who saw this scene, beca curious, "What is it?"
"As you already know that my daughter, unlike her parents, managed to awaken the frozen abyssal dragon bloodline, has high potential, and a bright future. I think it's ti to find a good companion for her," Duncan noticed the look of Adriana change slightly.
Adriana just from those words alone could understand what Duncan wanted to ask of her.
Duncan continued, "I'm sure you already understand what I wanted to ask. I would like to ask the young master's hand in marriage for my daughter, Ophelia."
Not far away, Helena and Lorraine were shocked at this scene.
Helena secretly sent a voice transmission to Ophelia, "Ophelia dear, do you really want to marry my son?"
Ophelia's face turned into surprise, and she turned to Helena as she replied with another voice transmission, "First princess, I'm pleased to et you."
Ophelia wasn't even born when Helena and Lorraine ran away to the mortal world. She only knew of them from her parents and clan mbers, so this was her first ti eting them in person.
"There is no need for formalities here, dear. Tell , dear, is your father forcing you into marrying my son? If he is, I want you to know you don't have to do this," Helena asked.
Ophelia was silent for a few seconds before replying, "My father has my consent when he put this request to matriarch."
"Are you sure about this, dear? You do know my son has two other won beside Yuna, right?" Helena pressed even further.
There were two reasons why she was pressing Ophelia like this.
One was. She genuinely concerned for her, she didn't want Duncan to force Ophelia into a relationship that she would hate.
Second was her own selfishness. Sam already had three won – Alia, Lenora, and Yuna. If Ophelia was added to the count, it would beco four, which ans more competition.
But that doesn't an she would refuse this arrangent. If Sam and Ophelia liked each other and Ophelia was fine with Sam having a harem, she would definitely support them.
у?о*υг-
After thinking her choice of words, Ophelia said, "I know, and I don't mind if he has a harem.... To be honest, I don't know why I'm doing this. It feels like this is the best course of action for . Just the idea that I'm becoming his companion feels so great and comfortable to . I never felt anything like this in my life."
"Why is all the won getting close to my son so weird like this?" Helena felt a headache as she sighed in exhaustion.
After sighing for another ti, Helena said, "Okay, dear, then tell this one thing. Do you actually like my son? Answer honestly."
Ophelia imdiately didn't answer. She turned her gaze towards Sam, who, sensing her eyes, turned his face to her. Their eyes lingered on each other for a while before a small smile ford on Ophelia's face, "I do... I do like him."
Helena smiled helplessly, "My son is such a bad person, making won fall for him like this one after another."
Ophelia, hearing her words, couldn't help but blush, which coupled with her cold attitude, made her look cuter.
"Mam, do you think the matriarch will agree to my father's request?"
"She will. You have nothing to worry about," Helena said with confidence.
After a few seconds, Ophelia, with a red face, asked Helena sothing, "Um... Mam, is it okay if I address you as my mother-in-law?"
A small chuckle escaped Helena's lips, "Ara~ aren't you a cute one. Of course, dear, you can call mother-in-law... You know, out of the four, you are the first one to ask sothing like that."
Then their attention went back to Adriana.
"Of course, Duncan, as long as your daughter is okay being my grandson's companion," Adriana replied.
""Thank you, matriarch," Duncan said, bowing. Not far away, Sam's face had a helpless expression. "Is no one going to ask my opinion on this?"
When he saw Ophelia with her black eyes and white milky hair, her white blushing face adding another layer of cuteness, he couldn't help but gulp.
"Not that I'm not liking this or anything... God, she is so cute that she is making blush," Sam thought internally.
