"I want her engagement changed! Being between this young man and Aria!" Lucius said while putting on a faint smile. Looks very sneaky.
Hearing that, Theo immediately put on a dumbfounded face. "What did you say? Exchange engagements?" Ask Theo.
"Well, that's right! I want to trade my battle with your sister, becoming an engagement between you and my sister Aria!" Lucius answered, still with a sly look full of deceit.
"Ohh, if that's what you want! Then all right, I agree!" Theo answered briefly, without blinking and without thinking.
"Hahhahahha! He's no less cunning than you!" Tiankong said suddenly. With a loud laugh from within the space-time bracelet.
"But unfortunately, this young man doesn't know one thing, which is the fact that you've tied the Sky Promise to the girl! Either way, inevitably in the future you still have to marry her!"
"It's like you swapped your brother's engagement without paying at all! How funny hahahhaha….!" Tiankong could not help his wild laughter inside the space-time bracelet.
"Here you are, Master, what an unexpected stroke of luck! So stop laughing, that laugh of yours, just makes it hard for me to continue to maintain my serious face! I really had a hard time holding back from laughing!" Theo.
"Hahahahha.. yahhh..yahhh.sorry!" Tiankong replied, starting to try to hold back his laughter.
"Pffttt. but look at that cunning look! Haha...! Haha...!"
"Hukk.. hahaha...! I'm sorry I couldn't help it! Huhahhahah….!"
Only briefly did Tiankong manage to control his wild laughter, he again laughed loudly upon seeing Lucius's devious expression. Who is not aware that the decision that he thinks is brilliant by exchanging engagements, is actually a silly decision.
Theo himself, who heard his Master's wild laughter, now had more and more trouble holding back from laughing as well. He almost laughed before Arthur, who was next to him, saved him by hitting him hard enough.
"YES….!!! What the hell are you saying? Why did you accept the engagement!" Flinch Arthur, after hitting Theo. It seems unacceptable Theo had to be engaged to Aria.
"Ohukkk….! That...why would I take it?" Theo asked, trying to get back to being serious.
Aria herself, who was just stunned, was surprised that suddenly her brother offered a change of engagement, now began to realize again from her stunned condition upon hearing Arthur's words.
"Who do you call a witch!" Jerky Aria.
Hearing that, Arthur seemed to be replying to Aria's clasping, but a powerful aura suddenly locked onto him, stopping the snapping words he had prepared, right in the throat.
"Buck! Who did you call witch?" Lord Malforis said coldly. With a deadly look.
"Ahhhhh…. Ituu.. hehhehe..it.u….!" Arthur immediately stuttered, unable to answer.
"Hmmmm... Why silence? You can shut up too! I thought your mouth was made of an immortal spring that couldn't stop talking! Where'd all those sharp words suck you all this time?"
Seeing that Arthur was not struggling, Aria quickly took the momentum, taking advantage of the situation that was completely in her grasp, she seemed to want to avenge all of Arthur's annoying attitude, when they had just arrived at Ice Lotus City a few weeks ago.
'Damn it! If only this wasn't your home! I must have silenced that mouthful of yours!' Grunts Arthur in the heart.
"Boss…!" Arthur said later, sulking for help to Theo when he no longer knew what to behave like.
Hearing that, Theo quickly pulled Arthur to his back. Then looked at Aria with a stopping look.
"Hmmmm..I can only hide behind others! Basic embarrassing!" Dengus Aria's.
"What did you say?" Hearing Aria's words, Arthur who felt his pride in being lowered, tried to come forward to avenge Aria. But Theo quickly held him back.
"Here you go, calm down first, there's time to get back! You don't see the deadly stares of that old man over there?" Theo said, whispering softly into Arthur's ear, glancing slightly at Lord Malforis.
Hearing Theo's words, Arthur who again felt a powerful aura locking him away from the direction of Lord Malforis, could only cluck in annoyance.
"Ck... sucks!" Arthur's Mumbling.
"Hahhahha.. you loser!" Aria who saw Arthur returned without a twist, once again uttered a sentence of provocation. With a triumphant expression.
"You…!" Arthur snapped, when he saw Aria's expression.
"What??" Aria replied with a backlash. Still with a smug face full of victory.
"If only…." Arthur said, with a very annoyed face, but before he could finish his words, Lord Malforis immediately cut him off.
"Buck! If what?" Asked Lord Malforis, with a tone full of emphasis.
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, as well as seeing Lord Malforis being so childish and protective when something concerned his daughter, Theo immediately came forward to mediate.
"Lord Malforis, I've agreed to young master Lucius' request, so how?" Ask Theo. Trying to shift a childish topic just now.
"Hmmm.. That problem, Lucius! You don't want to be alone either! Do you think your sister is a tradeable item!" Jerk Lord Malforis.
Hearing this scene, Lucius did not seem depressed, but returned with a thin smile full of meaning.
"Dad, I don't intend to treat my sister like that at all! It will all come back to my beloved sister! Whether he wants to or not, it's up to him, isn't it?" Lucius said, then looked at Aria with a meaningful gaze.
"Hmmm... do you think your beautiful and talented sister will want to be betrothed to the young man in the middle of nowhere?" Grunts Lord Malforis, now looking at Aria for a while, then look at Theo with a look of disdain.
"Yeah... There's no way young lady would!"
"Young master! Why would you offer such an absurd thing!"
"It's really nothing like the usual young master!"
Some elders began to speak up, supporting Lord Malforis' statement.
'Hahh, this father and elders, always become blind to something obvious, when it comes to sister!' Lucius murmured in the heart.
From the beginning, Lucius was very sure, this engagement change was one brilliant thing that he managed to capture, after reading all the events that had just happened earlier.
Of all the people in the room, Lucius was the one who knew the most about the talent as well as the boundless potential Theo had. Therefore, according to him, by tying Theo in the engagement, it is tantamount to planting a more fixed and definite long-term investment, towards this potential full youth, he said, rather than just a friendship promise offered by Theo.
Plus the fact of the gestures shown by Aria, where Lucius who is certainly very familiar with the nature of the mere sister of this puppet, so that he knows that Aria behaves far less than usual when it comes to Theo, where he was even willing to protect and ask for her, Lucius finally concluded, his younger brother has a certain interest in Theo. Therefore, he immediately offered about the engagement change.
When everyone was silent, waiting for a response from Aria, this girl actually fell silent, looking down at the floor of the main hall below.
After a long silence, timidly, and still not raising her head, Aria said something that surprised everyone in the Braveheart House.
"Dad, I take it!" Aria said softly, almost inaudible.
