The fourth year is over and done. There is only a single year before I would graduate.
This is not enough for me to reach Tier-7 and find something that could help me improve my skills faster. Moreover, I don't see anything big happening in the next year. I don't know how to impress Angela's family.
Those thoughts are eating me up. Every day, I think about how to do that, but I can't find a solution.
Maybe I should duel with her father?
Either that or I duel with the bride that her father was thinking about for her. Man, why can't it be simple?
This is a fantasy world for heaven's sake. Can't the parents be a bit more understanding about their children's choices?
I know that the parents would be thinking about what's best for their children, though not in ways that they think about.
They chose the partners for their children, based on how stable their life would be. They can't decide whether they are truly for each other. That can only be decided by the two who are marrying.
I know that parents understand that but they still try to marry off their children to whom they think is the best. Though they wanted the best for their children, it always wouldn't be the best choice.
Only if both parents and the children have a proper understanding of each other before marriage can they I mean, after all, the parents are not the ones who have to marry and live with someone that they don't like.
Even though I don't like arranged marriages, love marriages are not good either.
Most people would fall in love in their teenage years, the period when their hormones dictate their actions, rather than logic, which is not a good thing.
Sure, losing a small viscount family may not cost much but having unstable elements like that would be dangerous, something that enemy nations can take advantage of easily.
So the military has kept the family under surveillance. Luckily they didn't do anything like that but they spent a lot of resources to spread the false news about the Siren family.
Rutgurd wanted to keep their name free of any such dark marks and shifted the blame to another.
Though this was not a good thing, the military had no right to intervene but recorded everything that they did. This was to blackmail them if they went out of control in the future.
The only reason why my mother got to see it was because of her potential.
She reached Tier-7 around fifty years of age, which was something ridiculous. The previous record was eight four years and now it is fifty-two, more than thirty years reduction.
Though she couldn't create a record that would be forever inked down, for now, she holds the record of such a feat. Many at the top must be thinking that she could reach Tier-9 if nothing bad happens.
So the report can be said to be said as a small favour from the higher-ups. At least that's what I think so, though my mother didn't say anything.
It's like saying to my mother that the Rutgurd family could retaliate against our family. Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-novelhall.net
Rutgurd family has at least two who crossed Tier-7, though what their present rank is, no one is sure. Most families hide their ancestors. They are the family's trump card. they come out into the open only when they perceive that the family is in danger.
Anyway, if they retaliate against my family, we can't do anything against them.
The only reason that could be holding them back was the academy and in a year, I would graduate. I already know that William could do something, as that would be the same time when their family's heir would be selected.
It feels as if it is fate.
