Chapter 177: Viscount
Dave nodded as he read the notifications, then stood up.
"Rise, Viscount Dave," Steim said, watching him. Dave nodded and rose to his feet.
"You have done Winston a great service. I am glad I made you the lord of it," Steim continued. Dave simply nodded in acknowledgment.
"There is one other matter I want to discuss with you," Steim added, clearing his throat. Dave tilted his head slightly, waiting for him to continue.
Just then, the doors opened once again, and this time, Irene walked in.
"You may have met her," Steim said. "Well, of course, you've met her. You're the hero who saved her when you defeated Malacus alone," he added with a chuckle.
Dave nodded. "I have met Lady Irene," he confirmed, glancing at her.
Steim nodded in return. "Well, my foolish little girl once made a vow—she swore to marry anyone brave enough to kill the one, who killed her knight and our house's assassin, Doran," he said.
Dave looked at him in surprise. "You mean...?"
"Yes," Steim confirmed with a serious expression. "I am offering you my daughter's hand in marriage."
Dave turned to look at Irene, whose face was flushed red.
