Yacob put away the spatial ring and looked intently at Zachariah, as if he wanted to see through.


    Zachariah’s inner thoughts. He then said, “If your daughter is already in a rtionship with Severin and


    has reached the point where they’re considering marriage, then we won’t go ahead with the marriage.


    proposal anymore and vie for her with the governor.”


    Then, Yacob paused as a little grin appeared on the corner of his mouth. “But you’d better not let me


    find out that you’re lying to me, otherwise I won’t show you any mercy!”


    “W-why would I fear you? That’s impossible.” Zachariah replied immediately, but he felt frightened in his


    heart because he did not seem to be lying.


    “We’re leaving.” Yacob shot Zachariah another look before waving his hand and leading his men away.


    Zachariah and Zenoah finally had a look of relief when the Ladds left.


    “Yacob doesn’t seem to trust us, Zachariah. Do you think he’ll try to find out whether that’s true?”


    Zenoah could not help but ask when that thought came to mind.


    Zachariah nodded. “He might be afraid of Severin, but he isn’t afraid of us. For safety’s sake, I think it’s


    best to call She and inform her about the situation.”


    She was walking in the garden within the vi when she received a call from Zachariah.


    “What?! So, Yacob brought his men over to propose marriage, and he even…” She was surprised to


    hear that. Before hanging up, she said, “Okay, Dad. I understand!”

    “What happened, She? I heard you mention something about Yacob bringing his men over to your


    house to propose marriage?” Diane was walking with She when the call came and immediately


    asked She what was wrong after ending the call.


    She then exined everything that happened to Diane and said with a frown, “My dad was forced


    into a corner by the Ladds, and in the end, he had no choice but to tell them that Severin is my


    boyfriend… And that we’re going to get married soon. My dad just called because he’s worried that the


    Ladds might not give the matter a rest and decided toe and verify his ims!”


    “I see!” Diane then remarked, “The Ladds are just too domineering. They probably don’t stop to think.


    about the consequences because they have a level seven warrior king in their ranks!”


    Severin had just finished his alchemy session when he chanced upon the two of them chatting from a


    distance. He decided to go over and ask, “What are you two talking about?”


    Diane smiled and told Severin what She had told her.


    “I didn’t think something like that would happen. Yacob’s got some guts to make such threats!”


    Severin’s face was extremely gloomy when he heard that. “They’ll have iting for them!”


    Diane thought about it for a while before saying to Severin, “But it’s going to be troublesome for you to


    deal with that sort of thing. It won’t be good if word gets out that you killed them just because they


    threatened the Bards after proposing marriage with the Bards’ daughter.”


    She looked at Severin, bit her red lips, and said, “What should we do if theye to us and ask for


    proof one day?”


    Severin’s expression sank a little and he finally touched the bridge of his nose before saying helplessly,


    Don’t worry. We’ll just put on an act and I’ll pretend to be your boyfriend. That’s the only way we can


    fool them after what your father said!”
