"I'm sorry for showing you something indecent but, I have no intention of asking for forgiveness for anything else," Before, they start talking, Velian said with a smile so Julie won't misunderstand why she was asked to come here.
"So you were the one behind all this? Was that all a lie about what you said in the meeting room?" Disappointed about this twist, Jukie questioned but the assassin leader girl didn't have a positive reaction to this.
"Know your place, don't talk to my master like that," She muttered in a stern voice, but Veliaj quickly asked her not to disturb her to which she also agreed while bowing her head.
"It wasn't, people really suffered because of your father's control but I wasn't a fool to participate in a meeting that's guaranteed to get me killed without having something I could resist,"
Julie listened to his words carefully.
"I knew your aristocrats are the ones who did this and you had no knowledge about this and that's the same reason why I didn't kill you because you're an ignorant girl,"
At this point, even Julie had to agree with that because she knew for a fact that's who she was.
"You're the most dangerous one in that room, others had a clear idea about what they did and they still decided to stick by that, but you-" Pointing at Julie, Velian got up from his seat and got close to her.
Julie backed down a little scared but looking at his handsome face and his kind expression, it was hard for her to think that he would harm her.
"You clearly had no idea about anything but still you were clearly better than everyone in that room, it's really dangerous,"
Everyone in the room looked at Julie with sad looks. They knew she was also a victim in this but none of them wanted to help her since she was an enemy right now.
"I will change, please give me a chance, I don't want to stay like that, whatever I have to do, I will change,"
Velian looked at her with narrowed eyes before looking at Naomi signalling her something.
Suddenly, she left the room worrying Julie but when she saw the reason she left the room, she felt her heart filling with gratefulness and happiness.
"Your sister-in-law," Velian said while pointing at the maid, who was looking at everything with wide eyes.
"Sister!" Shouting in happiness, Julie quickly went and hug her with a tight lock showing her affection.
*Sigh
"Did anyone hurt you, Julie?" Looking at her face and body carefully, she questioned with a worried face and then looked at Velian.
"Why didn't you kill us? You could have easily killed us and let others know it was nobles' work," Suspicious about Velian's intention, Julie's sister-in-law questioned.
"Don't look at me like that," Going back to his seat, Velian said as he didn't have any intention of dressing both of these girls.
"I liked your brother, that's it,"
What Velian said was easily misunderstood by everyone in the room, as everyone looked at him with wide eyes including Daphnia and Delviny.
"Brother, you were into that?" Delving questioned as this was big news for her.
Julie had blood coming out of her nose imagining dirty things about these two boys but her imagination quickly broke because of his next words.
"Don't be stupid, I'm not into that, I just meant I like his way of thinking because I can understand him," He didn't want his girls to think wrong things about him, so he quickly corrected their misunderstanding before things get out of hand.
"Ohhh that!" Delving and Daphnia both sighed feeling relieved because they didn't want Velian to go down that path and forget about them.
"Julius was a good man, it was easy for me to understand because he was like an open book, very easy to read," Julie also smiled feeling the same thing.
"I can understand his desire to protect his sister, he's a peaceful man who doesn't want to fight," Velian looked at Delviny and smiled showing how affectionate he was.
"Here's the proposal, I will release your brother but you should support me with controlling this kingdom and shouldn't betray me, I have many substitutes but I'm asking this because I don't want to kill Julius,"
Velian would have been naive to think they would simply give up their kingdom but with their brother's life in line, Julie had to consider it.
"What would happen if we betray you?"
"You will be turned into monster food or I will send you into a brothel and your brother will die, I don't care about what people say but I know that I'm not a good person, so I will definitely do that,"
Julie and her sister-in-law observed others' faces when he said and saw how unbothered they were. It was almost like they knew he wasn't joking or lying.
"Let me think about this," With a difficult face, Julie said and looked at everyone. But the moment she looked at her future sister-in-law, she knew what she had to do.
'Kingdom or my brother who tried to sacrifice his life for me?'
"Why did I even hesitate?" In a tiny voice, Jukie muttered to herself and looked at Velian with an assertive look.
"I will do that, if I can save my brother, I would sell this kingdom to you and I won't let him complain about it,"
"I don't believe you, so you should do a slave contract with her," Velian pointed at Daphnia.
"A slave contract?!" Both Julie and her sister-in-law shouted at the same time.
"Don't worry, it's just a basic one with only one condition, it won't make you a slave, simply a contract,"
Julie's sister-in-law tried to disagree but even before she could react, Julie agreed with Velian.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly," Daphnia said with a smile and ended the meeting on a peaceful note. The next day, Julie and Velian went to meet her brother and pick him up according to their promise.
