56 - Ariel is joining?

 This time, there was an even stronger reaction from Michael. He really, really, really couldn't believe what he had just heard… Had she just said that she wanted to leave an Overlord Family to join a low-level one?

Michael wasn't the only one shocked…Lucian couldn't hide his surprise when she uttered that as she had never once let it show that she might be interested in joining them…not even once.

"You heard me correctly. If I join their family, then…couldn't they become allies? I'll make sure to keep a watch over them until they get strong enough. What do you say?"

Michael took two deep breaths, calming himself down as much as he could. He didn't want to shout at his daughter in front of everyone…well, even if he had already done so. He didn't want to do it again. He wanted to keep his image as clean as humanly as possible.

"So, you want to leave me? Is that right?"
