The Prodigals’ Return (Part 3)
"When I heard that my girls were involved with two of the most powerful men in the Kingdom, I had to make sure that they treated my daughters right." Once again, Clefas attempted the carrot and the stick.
"Archmage Verhen, I heard that you've been dating my Kami for almost three years. Are your intentions honest or are you just playing with her feelings?" He was seconds away from shitting himself in fear, but he knew that the greater the risks, the greater the reward.
Anything that Lith said could be used against him in the noble circles and by acting as a good parent, Clefas had the opportunity to get on Kamila's good side again.
If they ended up not marrying, Lith's political opponents would pay a hefty sum to stain his reputation whereas if they did, the Retta household would be entitled to a share of Lith's income from both the silver mines and as Forgemaster.
Or so he thought until the bathroom's door burst open, letting Kamila out.
