Sister's engagement?

"In between"

Hearing Grandfather's positive response, I entered the office.

Inside, my grandfather was sitting at the table and my brother and sister were next to him.

When he saw me enter my brother came running quickly and hugged me in his arms taking me forward without hesitation and I didn't react and I remained like a silent doll, anyway if I react he will keep pretending to be pitiful and I will end up giving in so yeah better accept it soon.

And inside the hug I heard my brother's voice.

"Little brother, I missed you!! How was the trip?"

I smiled and answered him softly.

"It was great, I got to know a lot of resources, I'm also going to prepare the rebirth pills I told you about, and give them to Grandpa, it might be less efficient but it will still help."

"Alright little brother!! but rest and take care of yourself first!"

I just smiled even though I'm a relevant item in their cultivation strength, they care more about me, which makes me happy and warm in my heart.

My sister's voice was the one that followed.

"Meet new people and friends?"

Hearing her response, I hesitated, remembering Leo, but decided to speak.

"I met several people and even made a good friend and I will introduce him to you later. He lives in the capital too"

I said with a smile as I remembered Leo...although I was curious about his status, he is young and has a strong cultivation base...although his behavior doesn't seem that much, I feel that he comes from a strong family or power, although he doesn't yet To be sure.

The sister seemed to narrow her eyebrows and asked.

"Friend?"

I didn't understand the question with a distinct tone but I answered.

"Yes."

She didn't respond and just smiled and where I didn't see, as I moved my attention to the grandfather, her eyes met my brother's and there seemed to be some kind of communication.

"Well my grandson, are you safe? Did you achieve what you wanted?"

Hearing my grandfather's response I left my brother's arms and in a respectful posture I responded.

"Yes. I did not comply with risk or danger situations" I of course ignored the moment of falling while running away from the beast and continued responding.

"I was also able to visit different places and different things as well as get resources that I was interested in"

"Good" Grandpa replied with a smile and touched my head, which he didn't take a second to say.

"I have to talk to your brothers, you can go back to your room"

But waiting for that answer, I didn't comply with the request and sat on the chair opposite him and spoke.

"Grandfather brother, sister. I don't know what's going on, but I still must participate, I'm part of the family after all." I spoke with a serious face.

My brother, who seemed to want to be the first to speak, became quiet when I looked at him.

And grandfather stared at me as I felt my body pressed by his cultivation base that is two great realms higher than mine.

And a few minutes later, while I felt my body sweating, he released the aura. I could have used the palace's power to ease the pressure, but I was against it since it was my grandfather's test.

And my grandfather who sighed replied.

"Well…some problems with the royal family. Remember the second prince?"

Hearing his speech, I looked at my sister behind me and said.

"I remember."

"Well, these days there were two problems, the first the royal family started to press for the agreement that one of the members of our family should be engaged to one of their sons. Since there are 3 princes and 2 princesses, one of the 3 of you should sign this contract. Your sister is initially the one who would fulfill it since she is already engaged, but to begin with, this commitment is something that I don't want to force on my grandchildren since I want them to be able to find a partner they love...however..."

When grandfather finished speaking, I felt the anger in him with his Qi that came out of his body and the table that was pressed with his hand.

"That annoying second prince had a recent rumor of him playing playboy with an earl's daughter. It even looks like they are lovers. And yet the king dares to pressure my granddaughter into this engagement."

Hearing this I also felt irritated, as my grandfather said, I don't think the idea of having a relationship based on a contract or political reason is cool. Our family doesn't need any of this either.

And as I was thinking for a while about how to solve it, I heard my sister talking as she approached me and touched my hair.

"Don't worry brother, I can always get a divorce later. It won't be necessary to do much trouble. The second prince also doesn't have a stronger cultivation base than me so I will be able to defend myself."

I heard her voice and understood the plan, but I didn't like it and then I remembered something.

"How about I get engaged to the 3 prince? He doesn't have a bad reputation, his connection with the royal family is weakened given what happened to his mother and managing it should be easier. Besides I don't care."

Of course even though I suggested this, the response was strong.

"No!!"

These were expected responses from all 3. But I didn't give up.

And I worked to convince them for a few minutes.

And after so much conversation, at least I managed to soften the idea with my grandfather and a little with my sister, with my brother… better to ignore it.

And in the end the grandfather sighed and spoke.

"For now, go rest until the end of the day, I will go to the palace to talk to the king and try to negotiate, I will give you news in the morning."

Understood.

…

Leaving the room.

I told my brothers that I was going to get some rest and start preparing the pills.

My brother resisted, but seemed to agree after I convinced him and gave him a kiss on the cheek and when I was going back to my room I heard my sister's voice calling me.

And looking back I asked.

"Yes Sister"

"Alex..I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me…I'm the oldest and I have the ability to do this for myself…"

Hearing her, I went close to my sister and hugged her tightly.

"I know. But I have more special means, you know. I can handle it better too, trust me, sister."

I spoke with confidence in my eyes, and my sister hugged me tightly and after a while she agreed.

"Okay…let's see what grandpa says tomorrow. Go rest" She caressed my head and with the goodbye finished I went to my room.

When I got there I asked the maids to leave some sweets on the door of my room and I went inside going straight to the palace to take a shower and start preparing the rebirth pills... I plan to at least make them for my family first... maybe for Kazem and for Ming too…I still want to see if I sell some…

And entering the dimension 3 beings jumped at me directly.
