Chapter 123: Daring Demand (2)
The tribesmen were silent, expecting a clash between the Chieftain and Tal’shira. But when Vincent noticed where Adrian was pointing, he saw red and began thrashing around while yelling at the top of his lungs.
"You son of a bitch! How dare you even think I’ll allow such a thing! They’re not objects to be handed out like trinkets-"
*Swoosh!*
But before their argument could escalate further, a sudden whistling sound pierced the air. Vincent’s eyes widened in shock as a spear whizzed past his ear, but the sheer wind force around the weapon ended up slicing a portion of his ear and tore through several trees in its path before stopping.
Adrian looked at Vincent, trying hard not to laugh. Two things were significantly important to an elf. First was their hair, and second was their ears. Both had some relation to their pride as a ’higher being’, and Adrian supposed missing half an ear would be quite a blow to Vincent.
Stunned, Vincent turned to Ahuli, his finger pressed to his lips in a warning gesture. The Chieftain’s expression was cold and menacing as he snarled at Vincent, making it clear that this was his first and last warning: do not interfere in the tribe’s business.
If looks could kill, Ahuli would have died ten times over. But that’s all Vincent could do in his situation. With that, Ahuli turned towards Adrian.
"Are you aware I had intended to turn that elf into my mate?" Ahuli asked in a calm voice.
"I didn’t, but I wouldn’t have changed my decision even if I did," Adrian confidently replied, stepping closer to Ahuli.
