In a large room, two families of opposite sides of the table sat.
Hahaha! Nice to meet you again head of Felfenrir.
Nice to meet you too lord of tao.
The two stared at each other intently having mischievous grins.
Aside them are two heirs. Adam Felfenrir and Yi Chen. They also stared at each other, but both with different reason. Curiousity and Indifference. Curiousity of the young girl thoughts and Indifference to the young boy staring at her.
Well, here's my daugther, she's quiet, but quiet intelligent which can scare or degrade a boy or mans way of impressing her.
The head of felfenrir laughed loudly.
Heh, well here's my boy, excellent in magecraft and a fencer too. So, i hope your daughter doesn't run from such talent such as my son.
Hahaha! Such a show off, you head bastard, my daughter wouldn't run even if phantom wolfs ambushes her.
Right yi?
Such thing as running away would have never crossed my mind dear father.
Hahah! Indeed.
Sir Pengman.
Yes?
Both men looked at Adam, while Yi chen kept staring.
Is it possible that me and Yi chen can go out for bit to get to know each other since we are getting married.
Both men bursted out laughing.
Pft Hahaha! your son really is just like you head.
Hahaha! that's my boy, i will give you permission to do so, but come back before dark.
After getting out of the mansion. Adam and Yi chen walked into the city.
The city gave off an european city atmosphere along with people chatting and entertaining making the city very lively. Finally they found a caffe, then sat opposite of each other.
Hello Yi chen, i am Adam nice to meet you.
Hello Adam.
Heh, you don't smile much so i wonder, what makes you smile?
Yi chen stared for a few seconds, then spoke.
Ancient Western Magecraft.
Ancient Western Magecraft?
Yes. It's a fascinating magic that exists within the old western world, but i could only find a few that has been currently discovered plus it's a taboo so, i can't just flaunt it around or else i would be in big trouble.
Does your father know?
No, that old bastard is to busy making more heirs than caring about his children.
Yi chen cheeks puffed up in anger of the mere thought of her father doings.
Heh, well hes an interesting guy, but if your into magecraft aswell do you know about mana manipulation?
Huh? Mana manipulation? Whats that? asked Yi chen curiously.
Its a magic that allows you to manipulate the surroundings or people using your own mana.
Wow, never heard that before, where did you heard it from?
A book i found at my friends house.
Friends house?
Yeah, they live a little further back of the city, so you wouldn't see them around the front often.
Hmm. I hope to get to meet your friends soon.
Adam let out a light-hearted chuckle.
Yeah, me too, but meet them together next time we meet ok?
Yi chen gave a nearly visible smile.
Yeah.
After talking and walking around the city night suddenly came.
Damn, its night already? i was just getting warmed up for today.
Yi chen gave a rare light chuckle.
Well, lets go before our parents starts scolding us on the way home.
Walking home, they both sneaked into adams room, then sat on the bed.
You have a nice room.
Yeah, its amazing.
Yi chen looked at the ground and sees a book opened messily on the floor.
Is this one of the books you learned magecraft from?
Huh?
Yi chen held the book infront of adams face.
Yup, but this one is special.
Special?
Yes, special not because of speculations or theories, rather it explains what and how magic works.
Huh? Such a thing exists?
Of course, if you wish you can read it if you want.
Me? Your giving me something so evolutionary that may possibly change the world chaoticly if fallen into wrong hands.
Well, since i got to know about you today more and more i began to trust you even if we just met.
Even if Yi chen didn't show her expression, she was very happy with his response.
Yi chen read through the 1st, then 2nd, then stopped on the 3rd.
Old Chinese!
Wh-What is that what those strange runic symbols are?
Wh-Where did you truly found it?
In my friends house.
Are you lying too me?
No. Use the golden scales of justiciar if needed.
Would you truly go that far too prove to me that you are indeed not deceiving me?
Of course, if you don't believe me under normal circumstances, then i would go that far too prove myself.
Yi chen put her right hand on adams head, then closes her eyes.
Truth, Almighty truth, arbiter of truth.
The surroundings became eternal darkness, then golden eyes began to appear one after the other.
Tell me, my honorable justiciar, if adam lies, if he indeed lies take judgement of your own acord.
Where did you find this book?
I found It in my friends house on the ground.
Yi chen heard a murmur.
Next question, Did anyone gave you the book while being there?
No, i found it, while searching for a hiding spot.
Yi chen heard a murmur.
Next question, Do you object to our engagement?
N-No.
The darkness began to dissipate and the golden eyes began to disappear one after the other.
So, you truly weren't lying.
Yi chen looked away feeling embarrassed of accusing adam of such crimes that he didn't commit.
Heh, It's not a big deal since i already know i was gonna survive the ordeal.
Adam chuckled, while Yi chen kept staring away to not look at his face because of still feeling embarrassed.
Will you forgive me? she asked.
Yeah, of course, its not like you were gonna kill me or anything.
If one can see Yi chens expression at that moment, they would see a curled up smile with red rosy cheeks making them believe she had made her decision.
