BXBX NOVEL Chapter 427 Resolution
After almost everyone had returned to their seats and someone left to help poor Mark get help, Lothur stopped beside his wife and massaged her face.
"What are you doing?" She asked him as Lothur stood with his back to those frightened people, who were still sweating due to this young man\'s dominant way of presenting himself.
Lothur smiled at Viktoria and said. "I just showed them that I will not enter your faction through the back doors just because you are my wife. From now on, I will be your shadow, number two here."
"It\'s good that they know that and don\'t bother me with envy, resentment, and lack of respect for me because they think I\'m only here because of you... But in a way, that is true." He turned to those people there and spoke up. "I am only here because of my dear wife. Otherwise, I would probably join Angelic Feathers."
"This morning, I met Miss Larissa Carstensen, who invited me into her faction with the promise that I would have complete freedom at her side."
"What?"
"That woman did that?" Karen asked, while the other people there were also surprised.
Getting into Angelic Feather was easier than Ice Feathers, even though one was above the other in the faction rankings. However, it was by no means easy to join Larissa\'s faction, let alone receive her invitation, with guaranteed freedoms.
So this was a testament to Lothur\'s merits, something that showed more about him to these people.
\'Considering that monstrous strength, it\'s not impossible...\' One of the women in that council pondered this, figuring that Lothur must be in the top 10 of the academy in terms of strength.
On the other hand, Viktoria heard that and looked significantly at her husband, not at all pleased to find out that her rival was trying to approach Lothur. "Did she make you such an offer?"
"It is true, sister," Annaliese spoke before Lothur. "When I was going to meet my brother-in-law, I encountered that woman trying to probe him. Lucky I didn\'t allow her to try any more of her games against him!"
Viktoria and Larissa were old rivals in Sector 6, for both had faced each other several times, not only in battles but all kinds of competitions, from individual ones to those of faction.
And even though Larissa\'s family was not an enemy of House Frost, they were also not a friendly power. On the contrary, they had constantly pressured the Frost family into not-so-advantageous deals.
Therefore, Viktoria did not like that woman, one of the few with a similar level of beauty to her in this city.
Lothur then said. "Yes, she greeted me earlier and made her offer. But I did not betray you, dear. I came here, and here I am in your faction."
Viktoria clenched her fists, not liking this situation at all, Larissa\'s blatant disrespect towards her. \'She did that to provoke me!\' This brunette beauty clenched her fists, annoyed at her opponent\'s move.
Then Lothur turned his attention back to the matter of the Ice Feathers members\' council and asked those individuals. "Anyway, are there any other questions you want to ask? Or are you fine with the arrangement of things?"
Most were silent upon hearing that, averting their gazes, while the braver few looked meaningfully at Lothur.
"You know you are not yet part of our faction, right? You\'ll have to go through the mission the academy will pass on to the novice group in the next few days." Karen said this after a few seconds of silence in that area.
Lothur replied. "Sure, I know I\'ll not be a member of this faction before then. Why the question?"
"I\'m just saying, so you don\'t equivocate yourself." She said in a softer tone, sighing, while still feeling pain in one of her shins.
\'He got strong too fast.\' She looked silently at Lothur, seeing this young man smiling beside Elke and Annaliese, with a serious Viktoria sitting behind him. \'He shouldn\'t have spiritual cultivation until months ago, but he\'s totally outgrown me...\'
\'He\'s almost as strong as she is!\' This blonde looked at Viktoria.
\'Is that person\'s lineage?\' Karen thought of Lothur\'s father but also of her mother, who was not the least bit inferior to her husband when it came to talent.
Karen\'s family had deeper contact with the people of Lothur\'s father than Viktoria. In fact, it had been through this woman that young Ritter\'s wife had gained contact with Daemon\'s group.
Hence, she knew a little more than Viktoria, and through that, she could not help but ponder Lothur\'s talents and abilities.
This young man was in the dark about this woman\'s thoughts, and soon after talking a little with his wives and some of the council members, he finished his business there.
He and Elke would not yet be able to get involved in faction affairs nor have access to the special missions available to this group. But everything was arranged for their entry to be made official in a little over a week.
They would only have to fulfill the academy\'s mission, and then they could start acting as members of the Ice Feathers!
With that decided, they said goodbye to Viktoria alongside Annaliese, leaving to return to their business within this academy.
Annaliese had lunch with them and said goodbye to the two to return to her classes in Sector 5. At the same time, Lothur and Elke went to study in one of the libraries in Sector 2.
...
In the late afternoon, Lothur and Elke were walking towards the exit of the Morning Star Academy, intending to go to the Becker estate.
At the present moment, the young redhead holding one of his hands had a wide smile on her beautiful face, eager for what Lothur was going to do.
After weeks of getting involved with him, Elke finally heard from Lothur that he wanted to talk to her parents to ask them for their consent.
Lothur thought he had gathered what was necessary to talk it over with Gomeric without offending the man because he already had a wife.
Moreover, Lothur did not like the fact that others did not know about his relationship with Elke since many people thought she was free to be anyone\'s bride. At the same time, getting Gomeric\'s approval would make life easier for both, as well as planning the future they wanted to have.
So Lothur had decided to use the end of this day to talk to his father-in-law and regularize his situation with Elke.
That was why Elke was so happy, smiling at everyone on her way to her family\'s estate.
The two did not take long on their way, and soon they were at the door of the patriarch\'s house, waiting for that individual, who was already coming to welcome them.
"Elke... Lothur?" Gomeric looked at this young man, whom he quite approved of. "What are you doing here? Is there a problem?"
...
