He had chosen personal gain over his own son.
'But Victor Rhodes is still the Young Sect Master of the Falling Snow Sect, at least in name. If he were to marry into a Demonic Sect, how could the Falling Snow Sect ever show its face again? No, that's absolutely out of the question.'
'Victor Rhodes cannot go to the Demonic Sects.'
His mind raced, and he decided to take a step back for now. 'I can pretend to agree to let that Enchantress marry into our sect, and then figure out a plan later.'
With this in mind, he spoke. "Marrying into your sect is out of the question. Victor is the Young Sect Master of my Falling Snow Sect; how could he possibly do such a thing? However, seeing as the two youngsters are so deeply in love, I can make a one-time exception and form a marriage alliance with your Demonic Sects. Your niece may marry into the Falling Snow Sect."
"Marry *in*?"
Elder Sawyer chuckled.
