CHAPTER 44- The girl who does not give up.
Time ago.
"And that is why we want Kiarna to marry her son."
A 7-year-old Kei was meeting with the "Vizkei" family, a high-ranking noble family.
His mother was sitting next to him, listening intently.
"Oh, I see... Your reasons are good. The economic development of our families would grow and our territories would improve ... You have an excellent plan."- Said Sei.
Kei looked at Kiarna, the first daughter of the Vizkei family. A 10 year old girl She had long black hair and brown eyes. She was very cute and adorable.
Her face was a little red and she was a little flustered by Kei's gaze.
"Listen to me. The plan they have is good. Harvests will improve and produce will improve ... But I don't need to marry her. Mother, accept the offer of help, but I will not marry her. If they don't need me, I must withdraw."
Kei got up and walked away.
"Well, you heard my son. I will accept the offer of help. Tomorrow we will start with ..."
"W-wait, please!"
Kiarna got up and walked quickly over to Kei.
"I-Is there something wrong with me ?! I-I can change if necessary ..."
Kei gave her a little smack on her forehead and Kiarna complained a bit. She was a little hurt.
"Don't be silly. Don't put yourself down like that. You are beautiful, but I don't know you. I'm different from those noble idiots who accept arranged marriages just because the girls are pretty. I don't know you... And honestly, I don't want to get married ... I can not do it, I am sorry. You must marry someone who loves you and who you love. You shouldn't get married just because your stupid parents force you to."
Kiarna's parents reacted to those words and Sei Molfer started laughing.
"He really looks like me. I rejected all marriages until I met his father."
"Love is important, don't forget it."
Kei left the room and Kiarna's heart began to beat rapidly.
"As cool as ever."

"What?! Why are you rejecting me?! There is still time!"
Kei was arguing with a woman. He was lining up to register for the tournament, but when his turn came, the woman turned him down.
"We do not accept weak. Get out of my sight."
Kei tried to control his anger and sighed.
"Luna, I need your help."
Luna, who was behind him, approached the woman and showed her status.
"I'm Luna, one of the heroes. Crisfa has what it takes to participate."
Immediately, everyone knelt before her.
"I-I apologize for my stupid mistake!"
Kei realized that they were all kneeling ... Being a hero meant that the fate of the world was in her hands. They were to be respectful and treat them like Gods.
"They really treat you with respect ... Should I kneel too?"
"No need, I hate them doing that."
Kei felt a chill.
"Eh? Why am I feeling fear?"
"Crisfa, you're late!!!"
He began to tremble.
"Shit."
Sei Molfer was approaching him. She was furious. Kei knew he was to blame for being late.
"Sorry, I fell asleep."
Sei Molfer grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and started walking while Kei was choking because Sei Molfer was pulling him too hard.
"I already signed you up, you idiot! Move your butt!"
Luna started walking beside Sei Molfer.
"Nice to see you again."
"Luna? I see you get along well with Kei."- She said in a low voice.
"I'm interested in his talent."

While Kei was preparing for the start of the tournament, far away in a city, Mei was sitting on a woman.
The woman was seriously injured and a crowd surrounded them.
"Visha, you're under arrest for raising taxes without permission! Tax theft. Extortion. Murder. And for making fun of my beautiful brother. I, Mei Molfer, sentence you to death."
"T-this is a misunderstanding! I would never betray Sei Molfer!"
That was untrue.
Kei heard rumors about Visha, so he asked Mei to investigate while he was in another city.
Quickly, Mei verified that the rumors were true. The city is within the territory of the Molfer family. If something bad happened to the city, the reputation of the Molfer family would be in jeopardy.
"I've done enough research."
Mei got up, took her by the arms, and began to spin rapidly.
"This is what you get for calling my dear brother an "inferior idiot" just because he refused to marry your niece!"
With a great momentum, Mei released Visha and she flew upward.
Mei raised her right hand and began to create a huge sphere of fire.
"Infernal sphere!"
She threw it at Visha. How there was nothing she could do to prevent her death, Visha closed her eyes and cursed Mei.
"You will die soon, Mei! I hope you have a painful death!"
The sphere impacted with her and exploded.
The people of the city began to celebrate and Mei puffed out her chest with pride.
"Kei owes me a kiss now!"
