Five days later

The days were going one after the other with the relationship of Bethany and Savarus blooming like a flower.

Bethany feeling for Savarus was becoming more clear to her as she couldn't live a day without talking to him or seeing him.

Right now, both of them were just strolling around the town with no particular place in mind to go.

After strolling and talking to each other for about an hour, Savarus suggested they should get something to eat because it was already noon.

On seeing them, the waiter quickly walked over to attend to them, he directed them to a private inn where they could eat in peace despite all the noise from the others.

"Do you think there's an improvement in my swordsmanship?" asked Bethany.

"You have drastically improved unlike before, at least you have been able to learn some tactics on how to attack and your speed has greatly increased" replied Savarus.

"Savarus I don't know if you have noticed this, but my dad seems to be having some sleepless night, it's like he is getting no sleep at all, do you know what's going on with him?" asked Bethany.

'I can't possibly tell you that your dad is finding a way to get himself killed by trying to avenge your late mom and beside he said I shouldn't let you know, I'm really sorry Bethany' said Savarus in his mind.

"I don't know but I will talk to him on your behalf" said Savarus.

"I would really appreciate it if you do, he doesn't want me to get involved in whatever he is doing" said Bethany.

After finished eating their meal, they both walked back to the Bucadox clan, on getting there, a guard informed Bethany that her dad wishes to speak with her.

On hearing this, Bethany said her goodbye to Savarus before following the guard so he could lead the way to where her father was.

"Dad, you sent for me, hope all is well and there isn't any problem" said Bethany as she approached him.

"Why would there be problem for me to want to see see my own daughter or speak with her" said Oscar.

"Okay dad" replied Bethany as she walked closer to meet him.

"Bethany there have been something I have been wanting to ask you, what do you feel for Savarus?" asked Oscar.

"Dad what do you mean?" asked Bethany.

"Bethany don't play those tricks on me, you know what I mean, what do you feel for him?" asked Oscar once again.

"I don't know dad" said Bethany in a shy way.

"Bethany you are my daughter and there is something I want you to know, I don't want you to marry someone you don't like all because you want to raise this clan, I want you to follow your happiness and not the happiness of this clan" said Oscar. "I do know I have sometimes put pressure on you and also putting you in a tight spot, like bringing suitors so you can marry, but right now I can see I was wrong, so I want you to know that I will support you no matter the person you wishes to marry" said Oscar.

"Thanks Dad, I have been wanting to tell you this but I thought you would be angry" said Bethany. "I do love Savarus and wishes to be with him, I haven't told you yet because I thought you would be angry for not marrying someone of your choice".

"Bethany I want you to know this, I'm not the type of father who would marry off my daughter because of power, I'm a father who would let his daughter marry the man of her choice" said Oscar.

"Thanks Dad, thanks for always supporting me" said Bethany while hugging her father.

"I will talk to Savarus about everything, I definitely want to carry my grandkids" said Oscar which causes Bethany face to go red.

"Dad what do you mean by you will talk to him, we are still getting to know each other" said Bethany while blushing.

"What do you mean by you are still getting to know each other, haven't tbe two of you already tell each other how you both feel, I'm talking about the marriage Bethany" said Oscar.

"Dad!!, are you really that tire of me that you are trying to marry off so quickly" said Bethany while laughing.

"This isn't quick Bethany, do you want words to get out about you two, don't you know a girl isn't supposed to have any form of contact untill she get married, you kiss him publicly and now you are saying it's too quick when you are clearly the one who want it" said Oscar.

"Dad what do you mean?" asked Bethany.

"Do you think I wouldn't be able to hear of it, almost everyone has know of you kissing a man when you are not married, but don't worry about that, I was able to take it down before it could widely spread" said Oscar.

"Thanks Dad, I can't believe that small act would be so look upon" said Bethany.

"Bethany you have to be careful with such action next time, most people are wicked and would want to find flaw in people's life, so make sure to always think twice before any action you take" said Oscar.

"I will dad, thanks a lot, you are the best, but I still think the matter about marriage is still too quick" replied Bethany.

"Like I said before there is no such thing as too quick Bethany, you are twenty two years old, although beautiful but you are not getting any younger, I want to see my grandkids" said Oscar as he hug his daughter.

"I love you Dad, I will make sure to think twice before any action I take" said Bethany while hugging him with the same affection.

"Love you too dear" replied Oscar as he walked out to attend to his matters.
