Chapter 29: The Family Is Now Unbalanced (2)

If you ask me to. I could manage food and other expenses for the time being. I don't mind having to pay for some of my own stuff. It would cut into brothel money. Sacrifices have to be made at times. If worst comes to worst I could just live with Luna. Dead beat man living with a girl that wants to marry him and refuses too. Would not look good in the public eye.

People of influence would also look down on my family's name if I did that. At that point before I die socially I would have to marry. Even though face culture is a pain in the ass at times. You have to do what you have to do.

Face culture is what people of influence like to perfect. It is mainly people who have money and political leverage that care about how others view themselves. Doesn't mean a commoner can be a fool in the public sphere. They are just allowed to get away with some social aspects.

I tried to leave the conversation, but my dad dragged me back. This is so boring. Just tell me if I get free money or not. I can and will manage on my own somehow. Is what I said in my head. It seems like I won't be able to escape this family meeting.

'"Now, Sephker needs to explain how and why you summoned that demonic beast." My dad said angrily. Can't be mad at him for being angry. I did summon a huge thing that caused trouble for us.

I decided to go and explain how the monster first appeared. I then explained the reasoning on why I summoned the monster. My reason was because my brother forced me to fight. This was not well liked by my eldest brother. He had quite a few things to say.

"You bitch ass punk. Getting rid of my skills is not acceptable. You could have run away with your tail between your legs. Do you know the consequences of your actions?!" Ferin said with a straight face.

What the hell? The consequences of my actions? What about your actions? If you didn't fight me we wouldn't be in this mess. He has been aggressive to me since I was born. Today he just felt extra aggressive and decided to fight me.

"The hell do you mean my consequences? The consequences of my actions were this. I was unable to appear strong enough to scare off the immature, mentally challenged, deranged brother. He then just had to fight me to show off his strength. Now, he is angry that my actions were in self defense." I was surprised that I unleashed anger by calling out to my brother.

I usually don't say anything negative. I don't like saying negative things. It causes problems for everyone, especially for me. To no one's surprise this pissed off Ferin. To my surprise Lafker backed me up.

"The gall to blame it on anyone, but yourself Ferin, It amazes me to see how immature you are." Lafker said.

With more pickering between us. The meeting ended. My father was to mentally tired to further the meeting. That is good for me. I am also tired. I just want to go to bed.
