42 Swapped the Bride

"I APPROVE."

It took them quite a while to end the long conversation. But at last, Lord Albert announced that he gave his permission and blessing for the wedding. Everyone was pleased with his final decision. Everyone except Vladimir, of course.

Vladimir was shaking his head as he refused to accept. "I apologize, chief. But I might have misheard you," he said, smiling awkwardly.

"Then better get your hearing checked, Vladimir. You must be old already." Albert responded sarcastically. But he still repeated his previous words, "I said, I approved of Miss Yuki as Damien's wife." He said aloud. "That is it. And if you still can't hear it properly, you might be deaf."

Vladimir scoffed. "You cannot do this, chief."

"Wait. Let me think." Albert crossed his arms. "Actually, I can." Those rejection words from the third elder meant nothing to him.
