Chapter 62: Lord Aiden is also awed (1/2)
”Are you serious?” Elliot felt a bit taken aback by his words, unable to understand the way her mind works.
”My father has a lot of concubines. My mother chose them for him on top of that. You might not know how the world is nowadays. So, let me tell you. Successful people can have a lot of women without worrying about what society thinks of it. And you are bound to be a very successful man.” Lisa winked at him, telling him about the way the world works and also letting him know that she was fine with him having more than a woman.
”You sound a little bit too desperate. It's like you want me to make her my woman even if I have no intention of doing it.” Each of his words caught Lisa off guard, surprising her to the core, letting her know she had failed to lie to him. ”Mind telling me the actual reason behind your proposal?”
”Ah well, listen carefully…” Lisa started telling Elliot about a lot of things, such as the political war going on in the Charlotte family and the vicious plots directed towards Johanna.
”Johanna hasn't even had a relationship with a man, so they are calling her out as a lesbian, not like it's a big deal. Yet, the family elders are making it one. It's because they want to force her into a marriage, and if that's not possible, then steal all her wealth She is not only young but also shares great connections with others. Obtaining her means gaining a lot of power. So, the young prince of the family and the elder siding with them are trying to do whatever it takes to get her to be with them, even if it means forcing her into a marriage.”
Elliot patted her head, telling her not to worry about it too much. ”I will make her my woman if she is willing.”
”Hehe,” Lisa giggles happily.

Johanna entered the secret compartment of the Artifact Gallery, attracting the attention of the man sitting on a round chair that faced the window. He glanced towards her direction, and seeing that it's his daughter, he said in a cold and formal tone with a hint of arrogance and bitterness in it, ”Back so early, eh? What did he say? Has the honorable one agreed to work with the house of artifacts?”
”Yes, father,” Johanna said, not telling him that it is all because of her young miss as she wanted to gain his recognization.
”That's good. Anyway, why are you here?”
”It's because he also appraised the other two items given to us by the first lance of the supreme king of magician.”
One must know that the king of magicians was above all and only below the emperors. They were the second strongest existence in the world, commanding thousands of magicians, moving the world as they will.
