Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1096: Strange Request

"..."

Meeting Mina’s gaze, Entini couldn’t help but feel something strange.

She was clearly just a Level 6 novice, her spiritual power mostly sealed by him, and her eyes showed no killing intent or will to fight. But why? Why do I feel this inexplicable chill?

As if possessed, Entini felt like a giant spectral hand was gripping him tightly, making it hard to breathe.

Instinctive fear? Because of this girl?

Nonsense! What am I thinking?!

After shaking his head furiously, Entini looked again and met Mina’s eyes. This time, the oppressive feeling he’d mysteriously sensed earlier had completely vanished.

Yes, it was just my illusion after all.

Realizing this, Entini let out a long sigh of relief. Then his gaze toward Mina became solemn and serious.

"What did you just say? You’re willing to cooperate with us? Willing to bear the Young Master’s child?"

"Yes."

Mina nodded. Her eyes showed no trace of resistance or disgust. They were clear and pure, filled with a calm acceptance of her fate.

"..."

Entini found this puzzling.

He had thought that making this girl completely submit would require keeping her imprisoned in this Yin-aligned water prison for at least a week to wear down her resistance. He had even prepared to find a mental magic Archmage to forcibly brainwash her.

But what happened? Just one day? And she’s already submitted to her fate?

Hmph, seems I overestimated her willpower.

"Hehe, weren’t you making quite a fuss earlier? Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Because I suddenly realized that resistance is meaningless," Mina replied, her tone full of regret and resignation.

"Since I can’t fight back, I might as well enjoy life before the child is born."

"Hehe, a wise decision."

Entini smiled contemptuously.

"So does what you said earlier still stand?"

"Of course. As long as you cooperate properly, the Felder Family will treat you with the highest courtesy during this time, letting you enjoy unprecedented luxury."

"I have a few conditions."

"Conditions? Let’s hear them."

"First, guarantee my parents’ safety. You absolutely cannot harm them."

"That’s no problem. After all, we’re going to be family."

"Also, you can’t drag my friends or other relatives into this matter."

"That’s also fine, as long as you cooperate from now on."

"And one more thing..."

Mina took a deep breath, and a hint of anticipation and excitement gradually emerged in her calm gaze, inexplicably sending a chill down Entini’s spine.

"What’s your last condition?"

"I want this engagement to be grand! Like a wedding of the century!"

"Hah!?"

Entini frowned sharply at this request.

"Why would you ask for that?"

"Isn’t it normal? Didn’t I say I wanted to enjoy my life from now on? No matter what, I’m still a girl. For my first engagement... umm, of course I want it to be grand. I’ve often fantasized about this moment since I was little. Surely, Felder Family wouldn’t refuse to fulfill a young girl’s childhood wish?"

Hearing this, Entini fell silent briefly before nodding slightly.

"Fine, I understand."

They were planning to hold a grand ceremony anyway, to establish connections between the Felder Family and the Sword Spirit Clan’s nobles. If it would keep this girl docile, indulging her a bit wasn’t a problem.

"When you say grand, what kind of grandness do you mean?"

"Umm, first, it should be glamorous and lively! Like those lavish aristocratic weddings in TV dramas! Invite lots and lots of people, preferably important and powerful figures! Then, invite all kinds of media for publicity and coverage!"

"You don’t need to tell us that. We already know."

Entini said calmly.

The family head was already planning to use this opportunity to publicly announce the Felder Family’s alliance with the Sword Spirit Clan, striking a blow against rival families in Sky Nation.

A magnificent event? Numerous distinguished guests? Media coverage?

None of these would be lacking.

"These will all be satisfied. Any other requests?"

"No, Grand Elder. Oh wait, one more thing!"

"What is it?"

"Shouldn’t you take me out of here now? It’s very boring staying in the water prison~"

Mina intertwined her fingers, looking expectantly at him.

"Hehe, of course. It would have been better if you had been so sensible earlier. You wouldn’t have had to suffer like you did these past two days."

Saying this, Entini turned his stern gaze toward the guards nearby:

"Hurry up and escort the future Young Mistress out to rest and refresh herself in her room!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Thank you, Elder~"

Mina gave a sweet smile filled with gratitude~

Sweet, but also incredibly eerie~

...

Meanwhile, in the reception hall of the Felder Family residence, an unexpected guest had arrived.

In the spacious hall, the Felder Family’s attendants and maids all wore expressions of shock, staring in disbelief at the silver-haired young woman sitting elegantly on the sofa, drinking tea.

The young woman wore a formal evening gown with a low neckline that revealed her delicate collarbones and snow-white neck. The main body of the dress was deep night-sky blue, like a starry sky dotted with faint lights. Her silver hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, interwoven with light blue strands like the Milky Way in a starry night. Her hair ends were adorned with delicate blue accessories, like stars decorating the night sky, adding a touch of mysterious elegance to her overall appearance.

She wore a light blue headband embedded with small star patterns, resembling stars in the night sky, which neatly tied her hair together. The silver hair and light blue decorations complemented each other perfectly, enhancing her overall look.

She was sitting elegantly on the sofa, holding a delicate teacup, smiling as if savoring the fragrance of the tea. The entire scene was like a moment frozen in time at a formal ball, captured in her elegance. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Beside her stood a tall, imposing gray-haired knight. He wore armor, his dignified presence revealing his warrior nature. The hilt of his sword was carved with ancient patterns, displaying his status and honor. Together, they formed a picture as beautiful as a painting, with the silver-haired young woman’s graceful figure complementing the gray-haired knight’s valor.
