Chapter 48 - 48: You’ll regret this.
"THAT COWARDLY OLD MAN, HOW DARE HE LEAVE MY LITTLE ALDEN WITH THIS OUTRAGE!!!"
Upon hearing her beloved little brother's sorrowful words, the woman burst into a fit of anger and indignation, shouting aloud, her murderous intentions seemingly causing the world around her to tremble violently. However, she quickly calmed herself, taking a deep breath before continuing.
"Don't worry, my little Alden. Your sister will take care of this. Although it's true that Seraphina is a tough nut to crack, and it's not easy to mess with the Arcane Order, it's not like nothing can be done. It'll just be costly and complicated, but allow me a year to organize everything. For now, if you'd like, you can take a mission from the university and leave the planet, we'll come back to settle the score later."
"Sister, actually, I originally wanted to take care of that bastard by using a duel. I hired a mercenary to get rid of him, and everything was going well. I even managed to set the duel for next month. But when Father found out, he forbade me from doing anything and told me I had to endure the humiliation because that 'Seraphina' was protecting the bastard."
Upon hearing his sister's response, Alden panicked a little but quickly regained his composure and commented, his voice sad and disappointed. Meanwhile, the women by his side felt increasingly uncomfortable seeing their "husband" behave in such a way. Although they had seen it a few times, it was still hard for them to accept this kind of demeanor.
"Mmm, that's a bit complicated, my little Alden. Seraphina is not someone easy to deal with, and the Arcane Order is even less so. In less than a month, it's practically impossible to do anything that could catch her by surprise, not to mention the Order..."
The woman brought her hand to her jaw as she spoke, thinking at the same time. But when she noticed her brother's expression becoming sadder, melancholic, and defeated the more she talked, her heart clenched with pain. She threw caution to the wind and declared loudly.
"Don't worry, your sister will take care of it!!!"
"Thank you so much, sister; I knew I could count on you!!!" Alden jumped with joy, looking at his sister with gratitude, which melted the heart of the beautiful woman reflected in the mirror, who quickly replied lovingly.
"Of course, my little Alden. Your sister will always be here for you. Leave it all to me..."
