Chapter 217: Yale and Lar’s Relationship
The spectators were completely silent after hearing Yale; some of them had believed that Yale was connected somehow to the Larken Clan, but by his words, he wasn’t a member of the clan although he had some relation with them and didn’t fear them.
Herken was also surprised because Durgan had just confirmed that the Sword Mage was the same guy that was engaged with Lar six years ago, but he had been missing, and no one had known about his whereabouts until that moment.
“So, you should be the famous Sword Mage. I didn’t have any intention to force your little sister; I was just making an offer to her.”
Herken wanted to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by Yale.
“Stop with that. She is just a little girl; she can’t understand the meaning behind your words, you are just cheating her because you want her talent. I have a good relationship with Durgan and Lar. Thus, I will forgive you this time. However, next time, I won’t mind about who you are or who is behind you.”
Yale’s words were harsh and showed no respect towards Herken, but he showed it to Durgan and Lar, so he didn’t offend the Larken Clan itself.
“That is right! If you offend Liye or Wyba again, I will never forgive you. Humph, I am sure that if I tell grandfather that you offended me, he will punish you. I have trained Wyba myself, she can be considered my disciple, and she is my sister-in-law, don’t touch her.”
Lar knew that Wyba was important to Yale, and after having trained with her for such a long time, she had a pretty good relationship with her; calling their relationship a master-disciple relationship wasn’t wrong because Lar had demonstrated to be better to teach Wyba than Yale because the later was always far too soft with her.
Moreover, since she discovered that Yale was her fiancé, she had even more reasons to consider Wyba as part of her family in front of others. Before she was just a self-proclaimed wife, but at that moment, she had become Yale’s official fiancé.
“I don’t dare! I didn’t have any bad intention! I swear! Please forgive me and don’t say anything to your grandfather!”
Lar knew very well how to deal with Herken, who always feared her grandfather. Although Herken was stronger than her, if one looked at the position inside the clan, Lar was far more valued, and due to her personality, even elders didn’t want to make her angry.
Moreover, since Herken discovered that the Sword Mage the guy who had been engaged with Lar, he didn’t dare to have any thoughts to make Wyba marry into the Larken Clan without Yale’s permission. After all, Wyba was just potential, but Yale had already displayed his prowess and offending him also counted as offending Lar; even a fool would know which party would the Larken Clan support in case of conflict.
“As long as you don’t angry my fiancé I won’t report this matter to my grandfather.”
Lar said that while hugging Yale’s arm; she was too happy about having Yale as her fiancé. Of course, she didn’t mind abusing her authority to help Yale.
She also didn’t want Wyba to be forcefully married to a random guy just because she agreed to it without knowing well the consequences; that remembered too much her previous situation. Fortunately, Lar’s fiancé turned out to be Yale who she had loved for two lifetimes, but such thing wasn’t usual.
After hearing Lar, Yale finally understood well the situation. He didn’t hear the part when Lar called Durgan useless brother, but by how Lar called him at that moment, he does not doubt about she being Durgan’s little sister and his forced fiancée. Fortunately, he had a good self-control and didn’t react after discovering it.
“This is just a big coincidence or fate? I want to avoid problems right now, and I don’t want to marry, but right now I still need Lar to create the Sword Bloodline.”
While Yale thought about that, he patted Lar’s head with his other hand, provoking her face to blush. He decided to delay the topic as much as he could; Yale didn’t want to marry Lar nor anyone else at that moment, but he didn’t want to make Lar depressed either. Yale simply didn’t understand love besides the one shown to the family, in such situation he couldn’t accept her, but he didn’t want to just reject her either after seeing how happy she was.
If he didn’t need Lar to create his Sword Bloodline, he would choose to disappear again as that had proven to be an excellent method to delay that topic. Moreover, Lar wouldn’t be forced to marry anyone else in that time, so that wouldn’t be considered bad to her either.
All the members of the Larken Clan were dumbfounded when they saw Lar’s behavior with Yale; she acted completely different than the Lar they knew.
“Is she really my little sister? The same everyone feared to confront for her fiery personality? The famous female tiger of the Larken Clan who beat anyone who dared to near her? When she is beside Yale, more than a tiger, she seems like a little kitty!”
Durgan was extremely shocked, but he felt that his eye was excellent because Yale was really a perfect match for her sister and even she loved him by how she reacted.
“I am delighted to see that you two were already so intimate with each other. I am glad to have chosen Yale as Lar’s fiancé back then. Doing good acts feels great.”
Yale had some instinct to beat Durgan after hearing that because his current situation was all his fault, he had never wanted that engagement. On the other hand, Lar was very happy to her brother for the first time in her life.
“You are just a useless brother, but you did very well this time. You choose the man of my dreams for being my fiancé. Maybe it isn’t a disgrace be your little sister.”
Durgan was already a 2-star Apprentice, but he knew that his little sister was still stronger than him although she was still at the peak of the Novice Rank. Since Lar reached the Novice Rank, Durgan had never been able to win against her, that hurt a lot his pride as a big brother, but he could do nothing against Lar’s extremely shocking talent with the sword.
Lar didn’t have any compassion to him, so he was always abused verbally after being defeated by her; that was the first time his little sister had said something good about him.
A lot of people had guessed that there was something between Yale and Lar as they were always too close to each other, but they never expected them to be already engaged. Lar had a lot of fans in the city, but even they had to admit that the Sword Mage was a perfect match to her and that was normal that even the Larken Clan approved that couple.
“Then, when are you two planning to marry? The sooner, the better. I am sure that your children will be amazing.”
Lar turned even redder after hearing Herken’s words, but Yale’s face turned grim.
“I don’t plan to marry her right now. Don’t misunderstand me, I am not rejecting her, but the moment is extremely bad. First, she still looks like a kid; there is no way I can marry her nor act like a married couple with her unless her body mature more. Second, for having children with divine bloodlines the stronger the parents are, the better; currently we are both too young and with a high potential to increase our power quickly. Now, it is time to train and turn stronger not to make a family. Third, I can ensure that the Zhan Clan will start a war with you if I marry Lar right now. Let’s postpone this matter for some years; that will be best for the Larken Clan and both us.”
Usually, anyone who had the chance to enter the Larken Clan wouldn’t say any conditions, but Yale was different because he didn’t plan to join the Larken Clan, it was the Larken Clan pressing them. However, he didn’t want to harm Lar, nor he can afford to offend the Larken Clan as there were people in the Zhan Clan who already wanted to kill him.
Yale’s words were extremely logical. Although it was still possible to ask him to marry even without having kids in a short time, Herken had already understood that Yale wasn’t easier to deal than Lar.
Lar was delighted to hear how Yale had carefully thought about the future; she wanted to marry him as soon as possible, but seeing how serious Yale was about their relationship she decided to wait until the moment when Yale felt was correct.
“You are right. With your talents, we should wait until both of you increased your power before thinking into other things. I was too reckless, my apologies.”
