Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as Malina O’Connor was at a loss, a strong, middle-aged elven man walked in from outside.
“Village Chief Joshua, I’m very glad you like my daughter. I hope that you can treat her well in the future!”
As an elf who had lived for 500 years, Julius O’Connor naturally knew that Joshua was just trying to pull Malina’s leg.
Just as he was agonizing over giving his daughter to Joshua, he happened to see this scene and was now extremely happy.
“Village Chief Joshua, you’ve really helped me a lot!” That was the reason why he had given his daughter somewhat half-heartedly at the beginning to him.
This matter was originally against the rules because Joshua already had a dark elf woman. It would be considered as a form of interference.
But now, a joke from Joshua had put his heart at ease.
Hearing this, Joshua was stunned. He shook his head and explained, “I was just joking with her!”
Julius shook his head at Joshua and explained, “Your words are equivalent to a union declaration. There’s no turning back now! Otherwise, my daughter Malina will only end up with one fate when she goes back, and that is to be executed by the people in our village!”
As he listened, Joshua felt that something was wrong. Why had it suddenly turned out this way?
“Is there any other solution?”
Julius used his hand to support his chin as he thought about the scenarios and then said, “Either marry my daughter back, or you treat her as your servant for life. These are the only two choices.”
Hearing her father’s words, Malina was scared silly. She didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
In fact, all this was just a set-up by Mortimer and Julius, just so Joshua and Malina could successfully get together!
This was because their two races had the longest lifespan so the only way to maintain a good relationship was to give away the chief’s daughter or the most beautiful woman in the village.
Both the dark elves and elves both had this tradition, which is why this stuff had always occurred after Joshua helped them.
In their eyes, a successful and powerful man should have three wives and four concubines!
Seeing the two people in front of him who were at a loss, Julius immediately winked at Mortimer who was sitting at his desk. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Malina immediately took action. She walked to Joshua’s side and pressed her chest against his arm.
She took the initiative to plead, “Village Chief Joshua, please! I can’t go back to my clan anymore!”
Looking at Malina whose tears were already overflowing, Joshua’s heart immediately softened. He then said to her, “Okay, okay! I’ll agree!”
After saying this, Joshua suddenly saw Mortimer and Julius’ eyes meet.
He knew that this was Mortimer’s idea.
Although Joshua wanted to complain, he couldn’t help but praise Mortimer in his heart!
After hearing Joshua’s words, Malina was so happy that she cried.
After sending her to his residence, the look in Malina’s eyes became very strange. Joshua immediately ran out of his residence the moment he had settled her down.
He returned to the office again and was ready to have a good talk with Mortimer.
However, he found that Julius still had not left and was actually waiting for his return.
