(The next day. House Wildbear main hall)
Right now, Lord Bernard was seen sitting quietly in his seat of greatness, in the main hall had also present all the elders of the Wildbear House, they were seated in a circle around the room. While in the middle of the room, Theo sat in a lower chair, quietly brewing his tea.
"Young Master Theo, is it true that your condition has improved?" Ask Master Dario who is also in that location.
"It's been very good, before I just ran out of Mana deposits, so fell unconscious." Answer Theo.
"Alright then, I guess you're the type of person who doesn't like complicated things. So, I'm gonna cut through the bush and get straight to the point." Lord Bernard said after Theo answered Master Dario's question steadily.
"So what offer did you want to make before us?" Asked Lord Bernard, he went straight to the main topic.
Hearing that, Theo did not immediately reply. He sipped his tea for a while, looking very enjoying and understanding how to drink tea elegantly and properly. Only after he put down his teacup did he start a chat.
"Before, all of you must have known how frightening and powerful Arthur's dark element was."
"So, can you imagine what it would be like if Arthur was able to control it well?" Said Theo, with a calm expression, then started staring at the elders around him.
"My offer is actually very simple." Theo continued. Still with a calm expression, this time his gaze fell towards Lord Bernard.
"I have a way of making Arthur, able to control his dark element. As payment, I'm just asking for our two houses to form an alliance." Theo closed his explanation. A moment later he again sipped his teacup.
And when Theo finished making his bid, the hall room immediately became silent, each elder now staring intently at Lord Bernard. Leave all decisions to him as a Lord.
Seeing that, inevitably Theo became a little impressed, every big House usually always has opposition and political intrigue in it. So it will be difficult to make one unanimous decision together.
However, from Theo's observations these few days, it was different from House Wildbear, they were very solid, each elder looking to have no doubts at all to their Lord. Giving all important decisions to God, they will not question or give an opinion if God does not ask first.
Now Theo knows why House Wildbear, with its more minimal resources than House Alknight, is able to survive and become one of the large House in the region.
The silent atmosphere lingered for a while, Lord Bernard whose decision was awaited by all the elders present, still seemed to think. His fingers knocked on the table several times before starting to speak again.
"How much time did you give us to make a decision?" Ask Lord Bernard.
Hearing the question, Theo immediately stared intently but non-degradingly at Lord Bernard.
"Because in the next few days, I will probably leave Glaire Empire for a while. And because I wanted to minimize the threat my House received when I left."
"With all due respect, and no intention of being disrespectful, I need an answer right now." Answer Theo.
Theo's very open and elegant attitude when giving this answer, immediately made all the elders as well as Lord Bernard himself a little stunned. And after a moment of silence….
Hearing that answer, Theo who was still holding the teacup, immediately sipped the tea again, emptied it quickly, then put it on the table.
A moment later he swung his hand, took out a few rolls of paper on the table, without speaking he took one scroll and threw it towards Lord Bernard.
"That's a technique manual I found in an ancient ruin. This technique manual, specially created for the user of the element of darkness."
"Let Arthur put it into practice, then he will be able to control, even utilize the dark element of his own as his own power for the future." Theo said, he then threw all the remaining scrolls towards Master Dario.
Lord Bernard who heard those words, immediately opened the scroll Theo had thrown. After reading the contents briefly, he could tell from his experience of suppressing Arthur's dark elements by various methods over the years, the scroll in his hand would indeed be able to help Arthur's condition.
"Hmmmm. You know, since it's already in my hands, I could have kept all of these technique manuals. And cancel the alliance deal at any time." Said Lord Bernard, with a cold look towards Theo.
"Hmmmmm.I've heard that Master Dario, who is here, once said that he was very confident in his skill in assessing one's character."
"And incidentally, I'm also very confident in the same thing." Theo replied calmly, while playing his teacup.
Theo's reply immediately made the atmosphere return to silence. Everyone took turns looking towards Theo and Lord Bernard. Waiting for the outcome of the next decision.
"Hahhahhaha….. " Suddenly, in the midst of the silence. Lord Bernard laughed out loud, breaking the silence.
"Young man, I'm really impressed by your attitude, you're such an interesting young man!" Lord Bernard continued.
"Calm down, even though House Wildbear is not a straight house, we are not a house that will deny its own words."
Hearing that, Theo's smile began to expand. "In this way, I assume we have agreed to be an alliance."
"I can guarantee that the position of the alliance between the two houses will be parallel to each other."
"Finally, you can hold my words, there will be a time when the house of Alknight will return to its former glory."
"When that time comes, we will never forget our friends. And I assure you, those moments won't be too long." Theo said, closing his explanation with sharp eyes, full of confidence.
"With a young master who has an outstanding character like you, I will believe him. I hope you don't die before you develop. Huhhahahah….." Lord Bernard again laughed out loud after giving a response.
"Alright then, since the deal is already formed, I will ask for permission to resign." Theo.
"Why hurry, I still want to spend a little time with you, maybe we can have tea together." Answer Lord Bernard.
"Unfortunately I don't have a daughter, just a random son who messes with his job. I think you're the ideal son-in-law."
Hearing Lord Bernard's words, the corners of Theo's eyes started twitching. 'With your eccentric nature. I can't imagine if you had a daughter, what kind of girl she would be.' Theo muttered in his heart.
"Ehh, what if this, you and Arthur would raise brothers, you would become foster brothers?" Said Lord Bernard again, with a strange wide smile.
"My lord, I honestly want to have a sister, too, but I don't want to raise a brother with someone who doesn't even know me."
"So it's better to wait for Arthur to wake up and declare his willingness." Answer Theo. Trying to dodge Lord Bernard's strange advice.
"Good, no problem, he will! He has to, I assure you, he won't resist!" Lord Bernard replied with a strange creepy smile.
