“Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?” Isabel asked in a teasing tone. “If you’re a man, you must prove your worth. Why are you hiding behind your grandfather and your father-in-law? Is that your way of courting my daughter?”
Ethan smirked. “I forgot to add, Queen Celestia is also very fond of me. She once tried to drown the entire Shire Continent and make it sink into the sea. If I remember correctly, she mentioned that my enemies are her enemies.
“Lastly, why should I feel ashamed? If my background, family, and friends are enough to intimidate people, then I won’t even need to raise my finger to get what I want. Isn’t that the best?”
The corner of Isabel’s and Gilbert’s lips twitched seeing that, instead of feeling ashamed of himself, the young man added a Colossi to the list of his backers.
“You’re really trying to intimidate us, huh?” Gilbert said solemnly.
