Chapter 1049: Real chief



With Isra's mother leading the way, we headed into the main building of the village.

Though I still had to remain on Joan's back since this place was just too big for us as humans to navigate.

When we arrived, they removed the chair and Joan sat down on her own while I remained on her, so it seemed like I was sitting at the table.

The others all sat down in the seats that had been prepared for them.

After sitting down, Isra's mother said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Vanne and this is my husband Dragan, as well as the chief of our Vale Tribe."

When he was introduced, Isra's father crossed his arms in front of himself and stuck his head out as if he was trying to make himself seem as important as possible.

It was just that this was all undermined when Isra said, "He's just acting tough."

There was an awkward look that appeared on Dragan's face when he heard this, but it seemed like he was too caring of a father to scold his daughter. So all he did was say, "Can't you let me act as a chief once in a while?"

"Humph." Isra just turned her head with a snort, not answering the question that her father asked her.

That left a bitter smile on Dragan's face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Vanne suddenly said, "The two of you, stop that. We're in front of guests, you shouldn't be acting this way."

Unlike her father, Isra acted completely differently in front of her mother.

When it was her mother scolding her, Isra immediately lowered her head like a child who had been caught doing something bad. She couldn't keep up the same way that she had been

acting when it was her father trying to show off.

Dragan also didn't seem to take advantage of this.

There was a blush that appeared on Isra's face after she heard this and she lowered her head as if she was embarrassed by this.

Though Dragan seemed like he wanted to say something, he was immediately silenced by the look that Vanne gave him.

It was clear who was the real leader of the Vale Tribe just based on this.

After sorting out the complicated feelings that filled my heart, I said, "I think that she's still a bit too young for things like that."

Vanne shook her head and said with another sigh, "She's not that young anymore. She's been like this for so long that all the other boys don't dare approach her, I really don't know what to do with her."

Though she said this as if she was exasperated with her daughter, the look that she cast in my direction made it clear what she was really thinking.

Even if I wanted to pretend like I didn't see it, it was impossible to ignore her when she looked at me like this.

There was an awkward silence that filled the air after she said this.

In the end, I said with a cough, "I don't think that this is the right place to discuss this, especially in front of the one that's involved."

"Is that so?" Vanne said while narrowing her eyes to look at me.

I just turned away slightly when I saw her looking at me like this.

But in the end, it wasn't as I could just remain silent, so I still said, "I'm here visiting the Vale Tribe today because I wanted to become closer friends with you all."

I just changed the topic right away since I knew that there was nothing for me to gain from continuing the topic that she wanted to talk about.

Vanne narrowed her eyes even more to look at me before suddenly saying with a smile, "And we're happy to have you. I hope that we can become much closer in the future."

I let out a secret sigh of relief when I heard this knowing that she wasn't going to push this, but I also knew that it wasn't as if she would give up that easily.

I couldn't help wondering what her next plans were...
