79 Sword (2/2)

She then laid the sword onto the table. ”It would be better if you don't accept this until dad has voiced his opinion. After all we don't want him not torture you, because you laid your hands onto one of his valued swords.”

Hearing this Ivan could only nod. He didn't know how obsessed the Grand Elder was with his sword collection, but judging by Jenny's reaction it should be a lot. There was no way he would risk offending him, just for a sword.

Seeing Ivan being so understand, while showing no greed towards the sword, Jenny felt very satisfied with the student her husband had picked up. Maybe she should ask him to take him as an official disciple. Because then he would be like their son and she would be able to spoil him however she wanted. She had long since wished to have a child, but because of something that had happened during one of their adventures, all of them had become infertile and until now they hadn't found a way to cure the problem.

Determined to talk about it later, when the guests were gone, she moved back her focus towards the chest. There was only one item left, which was a black folder. When she pulled it out, she saw out of the corner of her eye, that her niece had become fidgety. Seeing this she knew that there was something up with the content of the folder.

”Girl, do you want to tell me something before I open this folder?”

Lin hesitated for a bit, before saying, ”Um, just that this is only in there because of the prophecy.”

These words didn't make Jenny happy, but instead gave her a dark foreboding. There surely wasn't something good in it, or her little niece wouldn't have reacted this way. With a apprehensive feeling she then carefully opened the folder.

Inside there was only one document, which was made of the heavy thick paper, that was typically used for important official documents. She looked at it and then wordlessly put it down on the table. Her face completely expressionless, something Ivan hadn't seen before, she then looked at her niece, waiting for her to explain.

Seeing her weird behavior the others tried to check out the document, but Jenny shot them a glare, stopping them from satisfying their curiosity.

”I am waiting.”, she then told her niece in a voice, devoid of any emotion, which made it only scarier, than if there was anger in it.

Lin tried to play stupid, but under the stare of her aunt she finally cracked. ”I told you that this is in it because of the prophecy.”, she tried to defend herself, fully knowing that there was no way that her aunt would accept it.

”Oh, so it is only because of the prophecy.”, she then paused before shouting at her, ”Are you f**king stupid? Just because of some stupid prophecy you are willing to sign something like this? Don't you know how important a marriage is?”
