Feng Aotian, activate!
“Do you have anything to refute?”
“Uh…”
Faced with her elder sister’s questioning, Torina was momentarily speechless.
“The Deville family doesn’t keep idlers”—this is the core rule of the family.
Even as the daughter of the family head, if you achieve nothing and contribute nothing, you will be scorned by the family.
Either, as stated in the letters from her parents, you lose your inheritance rights and leave with nothing, or you obediently enter into a political marriage, becoming a tool for the family to use in alliances or to balance other forces.
In the original story, the captain was like this.
Because he was idle and accomplished nothing, even when beaten by the Protagonist, the family didn’t back him up.
And now, the one being grilled is Torina.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, every guest holding their breath watching the sisters’ argument.
Morai didn’t shy away from this, as she didn’t think anyone would appreciate Torina’s personality.
As long as this silly sister had the title of “Second Miss of the Deville family,” it was enough.
“So, Torina, do you have anything else to say?”
“Uh, I think, maybe this—”
“Hold on!”
At this moment, Anna-veil, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up:
“This is utter nonsense! Morai Deville, as her sister, don’t you consider your sister’s subjective wishes? Every reason you gave is—”
“Who allowed you to speak, you rude person? Or is it that my silly sister can’t even control the dogs around her?”
“What did you—”
“Don’t play the emotional card.
If you want to refute me, please provide arguments against my points one by one.”
“Ugh~~~~~!”
Morai looked at Anna-veil as if she were a guard dog, and even someone as strong and aggressive as Anna-veil was suppressed by this aura.
She had a bellyful of words to say, but now she couldn’t utter a single one.
(Is this Torina’s sister? Such a strong sense of oppression…)
She was trying hard to formulate a rebuttal in her mind, and Morai glanced at her again:
(Hmm? This little girl… is she the eldest daughter of the Alpharis family? Why is she here? Wasn’t she supposed to be sacrificed long ago? Whatever, it’s none of my business…)
Morai cleared her throat, looking down at Torina with an unquestionable tone:
“It seems you’ve given up on refuting? If that’s the case—”
Boom!!!!!
A loud noise abruptly interrupted Morai’s speech.
Even she was stunned for a moment, along with everyone else, looking towards the source of the noise, behind Torina—
It was Milora.
The King of Fungi’s greatsword, usually stored in a spatial compression backpack, was somehow taken out and slammed into the hall’s floor, its rough and heavy blade like a tombstone as tall as a person.
“Hold on, Miss Laime, could you let Torina finish before you speak?”
Milora stood tall, unafraid of the Deville family’s next head’s pressure, staring intently at Laime.
Her slender figure and the massive, rugged sword created a stark contrast, exuding an indescribable aura.
“…Oh? I didn’t expect my silly sister to have a dog with some guts.”
“Please don’t make such personal attacks!”
“My apologies, but what are you trying to express? I see Torina can’t refute anything.”
“She doesn’t need to refute anything.
Whether she marries or not is ultimately her decision, not yours! She will find a suitable partner for herself, and frankly, not many people are worthy of her!”
Milora spoke with righteous indignation, her momentum like a rainbow.
In response, Laime merely sneered, pushing through the crowd, pointing to the most lavishly dressed and prominent people in the crowd, introducing them one by one:
“This is Keloron Papathin, the third son of the Papathin family, strong and talented.”
“This is Santino Corleone, the eldest son of the Corleone family, mature and reliable, capable of great responsibility.”
“This is Will Grassis, the second son of the Grassis family, a handsome man with glasses, elegant and poised.”
“This is Todd Howard, the prince of the Bese Commerce Guild, quick-witted, just works.”
“And there’s Shangguan Batian, Gwendolyn Arnor Londe, Solo Zoutian, Grek Malenia… In short, all these people here are from prestigious families, personally selected by me, the most likely to win the top prize at the ceremony! Each of them has exceptional qualities, each with unique skills, their fighting spirit and patience are astonishing, at least one of them is worthy of her!”
“Whether they’re worthy of her is not for you to decide! It depends on Torina’s wishes! She is herself, not a tool for family marriage!” Milora immediately retorted.
“Enough, it’s not your place to speak here, Miss Milora Sistema! You’re just a servant of Torina, what right do you have to speak to me? No matter how much you say, you can’t change the outcome.”
“Then I’ll join! Compete with these men on the same stage! Then I’ll have the right, won’t I?”
“…Huh? You’re joining too?”
Morai was stunned for a moment, everyone in the hall almost couldn’t hold it in, looking at Milora as if she were a fool.
“You’re joining? Seriously?”
“Of course, very seriously!”
“No, no, wait, what are you, a girl, getting involved for? This is a martial arts marriage contest, not a tea party with girlfriends, you’re not even a man—”
“But Torina is a super invincible lesbian!!!!”
“……………………..Huh?”
““““““““““…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Huh?”””””””””
Morai was completely stunned.
Everyone was stunned.
Torina seemed to be paused.
Anna-veil’s mouth was wide open.
Patty awkwardly looked away.
Only Milora, with the soul of Feng Aotian burning fiercely, continued to output madly—
“Her orientation has never been men! She’ll sneak into a maiden’s bed! She’ll give people super sexy underwear! She’ll watch girls change clothes! She’ll pull girls to bathe together! She’ll publicly issue silver party invitations! After fighting with women, the first thing she does is strip them! If you don’t believe it, go to Garden Town and ask who the number one carnivorous female contact in the central continent is—”
“Stop! Stop! Don’t say anymore!!!!!!”
Torina’s head was steaming, she frantically covered Milora’s mouth! It’s over! It’s not just social death! She wished she could pack up and flee back to Earth overnight!
“You, you, you you you you you you you you…”
Morai almost couldn’t stand, staggering back several steps, the anger she exuded seemed to warp the space.
“Torina… how did you become like this? I thought you were just uneducated and of poor character… but… not only did you become a lesbian… you’re a female hooligan!? You shameless thing!!!!!!”
“Sis, I’m innocent!!!!!!”
“So what she said is false then??”
“Uh, I can’t say it’s completely false…”
“You dare admit it!? You! You!!!!!!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! But, but, but look! She said it all… why don’t you just spare me?”
“Then as the eldest daughter, I have the duty to straighten you out! And how do I know you’re not just putting on a show for me!? After the ceremony, this marriage contract will be signed whether you like it or not!!!!!!”
“Torina won’t marry them! Because I, Milora Sistema, will definitely win in the end!!!!!!”
“Then let’s see the truth through strength!!!”
