'Hoh, as expected of Marquis Drexford, a true warrior of Norvaegard. This pressure has a hint of killing intent. I guess he truly doesn't like the ducal houses.'
"Marquis Drexford, I simply wish to seek the help of your daughter."
Marquis Drexford's eyes sharpened as the pressure in the room seemed to become heavier.
"My daughter is not a tool that can be borrowed simply because the heir of House Thornehart has decided he has use for her," Marquis Drexford said in a flat voice.
Ryan, who was standing behind Lucen, was also affected by the pressure despite not being targeted, but he ignored it as he was quite interested in the conversation between Lucen and Marquis Drexford.
"I'm not treating her as a tool. I simply came to ask for help if she wants to do it or not, is her decision to make, is it not?"
