Chapter-52: Marriage Interview?"Was there any need to have an interview with a little girl?"
I asked my mother.
"Yes, there is. Even though she is just a little girl, she has to take an idea of how her future husband will look like."
My mother told me with sharp eyes.
"But you know, mother, I already engaged to Sera, so I don"t think it"s a good idea for now to meet another..."
"Shut up, listen to what your mother says, you unruly son. And hmph! Sera? She is another Royalty, I am sure she use my baby to oil her wheel."
Sigh! Seems like Mother is persistent. This morning she suddenly sent a message to me to show my face (a.s.s) in front of her. I was almost running after receiving her impatient message thinking that something bad happened but it was for just a marriage interview which is almost a confirmed marriage.
The engagement between Sera and me was held silently, and our wedding will be taken 3 years later because of my request. And that is almost everyone knows, so I am confused about the motive of the family of this little girl to make her child attend the marriage interview.
Well, whatever, all I have to do is done with it as soon as possible.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I will meet her."
"Good, that"s what you should say from the beginning."
Saying that she took my hand and started to show the way. Though I can sense "them", I follow her like an obedient child anyway.
Standing in front of the guest house she told me,
"She is in this house, waiting for you. I will talk to her parents so have a conversation with her."
"Wait, you are leaving a young unmarried girl with a man?"
Hearing that she smark,
"I have full trust in my son, that he won"t do anything bad."
She looked at me with firmed eyes, like saying you won"t do anything bad right.
"O-of course, you can trust me. And she is just a young child, I am not a sick pervert."
"Hehe, good, good. But don"t called her young child, she is a heavenly beauty that your mother choose for you the moment she was born, so treat her like a proper lady, no, I don"t need to say that, when you will see her, you will treat her like a lady on your own."
Saying that she left the scene while laughing out loudly.
The heck happened to her, she looks extremely happy today. Wait what did she say? She choose her for me when she was just an infant... oh come on...
But, heavenly beauty eh... I can only think of one woman that may hold this t.i.tle. I looked at the tattoo of the scythe in my left hand.
Can there really someone as beautiful as her?
Sigh... Well, whatever. Let just talk with the little girl and done with it.
Thinking that I opened the door. Upon opening the guest house, I saw a girl was sitting on a sofa in the drawing room.
I walk in front of her and said,
"h.e.l.lo, Miss Mina. I am Lancelot JT Pendragon."
I sat on the sofa opposite side of the little girl without seeing her face.
I took my time and try to show her a gentle smile like a reliable big brother...
Cold...
Her expression of the face was colder than the coldest place in the universe.
It wasn"t like she is throwing that face to me, it is just her face is like that itself.
She is a cold beauty. Heavenly beauty? Yes, she is. Even though she may be a tier smaller than Apostle of Death G.o.d, she is just a 13 years old girl, where her beauty is that level. I wonder how beautiful she would be when she blooms to her peak.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Lancelot Pendragon, please to make your acquaintance. As you have known, my name is Mina Winter."
Her voice also was like a cold breeze, which you will never hate. It is unbelievable that a soothing and elegant voice came from this young n.o.ble lady. Sigh... there are many beautiful women in this universe. Guinevere, Sera, Nina (Konan), Apostle girl, (my mother), "Her" and this young lady, I also heard that Pope of the Holy Empire has the t.i.tle of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Let"s not think about it more. I need come to the point when I wanted to say her something with a prologue, other than two of us "that" third person spoke up.
"Forget about this marriage interview, you playboy."
I looked at the person who was sitting beside the girl with 7th tier invisible magic.
"Lady Rimy Winter, been a while."
Yes, she is none other than the Vice Head of the current 2nd strongest sect Ice Lotus. She is Mina"s aunt who is older than this little girl"s Father.
Of course, I knew she was here from the beginning, it"s just I tried to be ignorant.
"Cut out that gentleman mask, let"s come to the point because my little brother is a person who never takes back his promise, he wants to wed her daughter to you. But I will never let that happen."
Ho!
"May I know the reason?"
"Hmph! You want to know that with your current status, whatever I will say that anyway, cause you are nothing but a crippled who lost his sect. My niece has shown very talented side from the moment she started to practice magic, seeing her talent, our Ice Lotus Sect Head took a fancy on her and started to teach her when she was only 5. Last year, our sect"s legacy, Ice Phoenix Divine G.o.d, bestowed her inheritance to this child which is the second time in history, so you understand right, let alone a prince or King of this small nation, even if you are heavenly prince of this world you are not qualified to marry her."
This woman hates me from the beginning. Her looking down method always irritated me. But Ice Phoenix Divine G.o.d"s inheritance eh, the first inheritor was one of the strongest humans in her time, I think this little girl also a candidate of becoming one of the strongest in this world.
But while I have time, I want to punish this arrogant woman who always looked down me.
I asked her,
"What I will get from rejecting this marriage?"
