"Don't think I don't know," Aesop growled coldly as he turned toward Frank, who was standing among the Turnbulls. "It's that brat who's been messing about and delaying the wedding, hasn't he? You Turnbulls can't even discipline your children, allowing Ms. Turnbull to mess around with sunruly brat! For shame!" "That's right!" Titus strode up when he heard Glen and Aesop arguing. "Vicky is my fiancee, and there's no arguing about that. Not only did you Turnbulls fail to discipline her, but you allowed sstranger like him to show up on my wedding day too. This is a clear challenge to my family's honor! Should we take this as a declaration of war?!" "A declaration of war?!" Everyone was silent at Titus' words, with every Turnbull gulping in the distance.
They could not imagine war against the Lionhearts at all-it would be a massacre if they went all out.
And the Lionhearts had sent over a hundred bodyguards, each of them bearing the brand of Volsung Sect, meaning that they were at least vigor wielders. Moreover, Aesop was a peak Ascendant rank individual himself and was a famous man even in Morhen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf they really start a war against the Lionhearts now, the Turnbulls would be defenseless if those men leapt into action right away.
With that, the Turnbulls started to reason with Glen.
"Glen, just listen to the man. Let them have Vicky!" "Exactly. There's no reason to upset the Lionhearts." "We've been friends with the Lionhearts for generations. And they've decided on today for so long- let's just go with that." "Silence!" Glen bellowed at the lot of them.
Being a man who could shoulder a dynasty like the Turnbulls, he was no fool-he could already see that something was unusual with the Lionhearts' attitude.
Why were they so eager to have the wedding carry on as scheduled? If anything, Glen's excuse was perfectly acceptable, yet not only did the Lionhearts refuse to listen, but they were also immediately threatening him with violence.
It simply did not make sense... Unless what Frank said was true.
The more Glen thought about it, the more he found the Lionhearts suspicious.
With that, he looked up and braced himself against Aesop's pressure and said coolly, "If it's a war you want, then a war it shall be. Don't think we Turnbulls are afraid of you!" His outburst left every Turnbull as shocked as they were confused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy was Glen taking a tough stand against the Lionhearts? Was he really not afraid of Lionhearts getting physical right away? Meanwhile, Glen and Aesop held each other gazes in silence for an entire minute, with neither man flinching.
Ultimately, it was Aesop who caved.
"Pfft..." He snickered. "Oh, why so serious? It's an auspicious day and I'm just kidding."
"Yeah, it's just a joke," Titus added in agreement, but he was glaring coldly the was at Frank unable to do a thing.
Seeing that the Lionhearts backed down first, the Turnbulls were al sighing in relief they would be helpless if the Lionhearts really went for it now.
"I hope you understand." Glen nodded in turn. "It's not a good day for us to receive quests. Give us a week, and E we'll welcyou with open arms." "Not a problem." Aesop smiled. "There won't be more delays like today, I presume?" "Absolutely." Glen puffed his chest with great confidence.
