Monia dialed a number. When the call connected, she hurried to a deserted spot and said with a frown, "Father, Aldric has brought that person inside."
"Is that so? You've met that young man already? What's his character like? If..."
Hearing the voice of a middle-aged man, Monia ground her teeth. "Father! He's a bastard!"
"Huh?!" The man jolted and hurriedly said, "Monia, is there some misunderstanding between you and Noan? I've looked at his file and asked Aldric. He's an ordinary person, and his character isn't bad."
"Father! Do you trust me, or do you trust that information?"
"That... fine. I trust you." Monia's father sighed. "I even thought I'd let you get to know him a bit, so in the future you'd have a powerful man to rely on."
"I don't want a useless, filthy man like him!" Monia shouted, her voice barely holding back an emotional outburst. "Father, help me stop him. Don't let him pass the tests."
