Chapter 245: Settling scores Part2
Kosa sighed helplessly. The heavens did not pity his daughter at all.
If only she had shown this outstanding talent in the last lunar cycle or at least a few weeks back.
But unfortunately, it was too late now.
There was not enough time for her to sharpen her skills and also officially become an apprentice in one of the smithies in the city.
Judging from the opposite party’s reactions, the complaint would surely reach the court officials before dawn tomorrow.
Kosa clicked his tongue and looked at the opponent bitterly. He knew what he had to do.
“I apologize, lord chieftain. I do intend to back out of this engagement.”
“Please accept our family mines as”
Before Kosa could finish his sentence, a young dwarven girl lazily walked over. “I refuse, father.”
“No need to cancel any engagement and offer anyone any compensation.”
Yana shook her head and flashed a bright smile at her father.
“But child…” Kosa felt sad for his daughter. She was just a young girl. How could she know the intention of these snakes?
“Sorry, father. I have made up my mind. This right here is the love of my life.” Yana turned towards Barton and spared him a special smile.
The dwarf who was calmly sitting and enjoying the show until now, suddenly felt a chill creep up his spine.
Barton stiffened his back and adjusted his posture awkwardly. Something was not right here… His gut told him…
Yana, however, ignored his reactions and continued.
“Please try to understand father. I am going to marry him no matter what happens to him.”
“What?” Barton loudly blurted out.
“Oops. Sorry. I meant that I am going to marry him no matter what happens to me.” Tang Yue smiled again.
The smile looked innocent enough to Kosa, like the smile of a love-struck teenager but somehow it gave ominous goosebumps to Barton.
Charlotte almost couldn’t control her laughter. These idiots are done for now. She inwardly chuckled.
Yana, then, humbly bowed towards Barton’s father and the other dwarfs.
“It’s late already. We should head home.”
“Please feel free to visit our house whenever and confirm the final date for the marriage.”
“I am sure that we can finish all the preparations on our side quite quickly.”
She again looked at Barton and smiled coyly, which somehow only scared the dwarf more.
What is it with Yana, today? The dwarf clenched his fist in frustration.
“Heh. What a cheeky little brat you have become!” Byron chuckled. He then stood up to leave.
He was going to intervene but since the ignorant idiot had willingly offered herself up, he had nothing more to say.
“If our families can become one through this marriage, then nothing else would make me happier.”
“We will also take leave then. You can expect our visit sometime this week.”
“We need to plan a big celebration for this marriage after all.”
Byron patted Kosa and left, along with his son and his other lackeys.
Kosa simply waved his hand. He didn’t care about those assholes.
He turned around to face his daughter with a sense of urgency in his eyes.
“Listen Yana. Tomorrow, when they come to our house, don’t say anything about your blacksmithing skills.”
“Please try to understand me. That kid Barton is not a good child.”
“Father will somehow try to go behind their back and take you to the city.”
“Once you become an apprentice to any smithy in the city, then no one can touch you.”
“I understand, father.” Yana held her father’s hand and obediently nodded.
“Do you think they will come to our house tomorrow itself?” She added.
“Yes, my child.” Kosa sighed.
If he was correct, they should be coming back tomorrow and the wedding will be hurriedly held in the next couple of days.
“Don’t worry, father. I am sure everything will work out.” Tang Yue flashed another smile and patted the old man.
“I hope so, child,” Kosa mumbled. “Let’s go home.”
“Ah… Father, I think I will stay in the quarry tonight to cultivate for a while.” Tang Yue scratched her head.
“Ok, child. Don’t work too hard.” Kosa nodded and headed out.
Considering everything that was about to unfold, he had some things to take care of, so he hurriedly left.
After the old dwarf left, Charlotte walked over to Tang Yue.
“Are we going to hunt some dwarfs tonight?” She chuckled.
She was happy to finally have something to talk to Tang Yue without feeling awkward.
“Ha Ha. Yes. You are absolutely correct!” Tang Yue smiled and absentmindedly pinched her cheeks.
She then walked away without realizing that the elf-vixen hybrid standing behind her had turned into a deep shade of crimson.
Charlotte shook her head and followed Tang Yue, a few steps behind Little Blue.
After having witnessed what happened to Marvin back in Eldoria, she didn’t want to miss out on a good show.
A part of her still very much loved scheming and meddling after all.
Leaving the mines, Tang Yue directly headed over to her super-duper best friend Zinya’s house.
“Hi, Yana.” Zinya smiled brightly and ran towards her, as soon as she spotted Tang Yue in the distance.
But her big beaming smile turned into a sympathetic look as she neared her friend.
“I was just about to come over to your house and see how you were doing.” She clicked her tongue and worriedly patted Tang Yue.
Zinya was the one who had originally spread the news around about the new slave girl carrying over sacks after sacks to the chieftain’s house.
She even made sure that Barton’s family and especially his dad heard about this new development.
The conniving dwarven girl hated Yana and the good life which she had to the core.
Even though she was more beautiful and talented compared to her, all the good things only happened to that stupid woman and she hated that.
“Are you okay, Yana? Why are you not saying anything?” Zinya hurriedly asked again and again, barely able to wait for the answer.
