"It's time to complete the promise we made."
He said, patting my shoulder with a smile.
"My grandson-in-law."
I removed his hand from the shoulder as I stared at him.
"…What did you just call me?"
Edwin didn't blink.
"Grandson-in-law," he said again, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "You didn't forget, did you?"
Of course I didn't, you fucking old ass shit.
How can I forget my mother selling me to the vampires.
How can I fucking forget the first condition that I got to arrive in Akasha.
How am I supposed to forget how you threatened me on my first day here.
I drew in a deep breath as I kept my emotions in check.
There is no need to make a scene right now and it didn't come out as a shocker anyway.
I was sure Edwin would play his game sooner or later.
"Lady Mariam." Edwin said, as he looked back at the elf. "It's time to make it public."
He raised his hand as he smiled brightly. "The starting of the strong relationship between vampires and Elves."
