Chapter 373 - Unreasonable Old Fogies
"We're here because of that. I have a way to solve this," Elda said calmly.
"I'm sorry Milady, but we can't go against the Lord's wishes," The guard at the left side of the door said.
"If my father were to find out you didn't permit me entry given the importance of what I'm about to tell him, I doubt you'd be able to keep your head," Elda threatened.
The two guards exchanged looks, they would naturally easily let Elda enter, but her family clearly told them to make sure no one disturbed them while they were in the meeting.
"Did you say it would solve the problem?" The guard on the right asked.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
They were currently in a difficult position, if what Elda said was correct, then her father would most likely punish them for not allowing her to enter. But if she were lying, then they would be in even more trouble, but there might be a chance that the girls might be able to plead on their behalf.
Elda nodded to his question.
With gritted teeth, he made way for the trio. The second guard looked at him, and with gritted teeth, he also made way for them. They've decided to place their trust in the sisters.
....
Inside the hall.
Over fifteen people could be seen in the hall, all seated with sour expressions. The people consisted of both men and women, all looked to be over fifty.
A man with a dignified look could be seen sitting on a chair in the middle, with the others sitting on the sides. The man had dark circles around his eyes, it was evident he had been going through a lot lately. He was none other than the family head of the Earl family.
"Why are you here?" The family head finally spoke up.
His question silenced the others who were about to continue scolding Elda. Surprisingly, none of them even said a word to Aldreda.
"Father, I want you to meet someone," Elda said, before looking at Grey.
"You interrupted our meeting because you wanted to show your father the boy you like?! Family head, you're being too lenient with your children, this is why they keep bringing troubles," The old lady who scolded the first time said, pointing at Elda.
Most of the reason Elda had animosity towards Grey even after he said he'd help was just because of this. After the problem started, some of the old people in the family had been blaming her for it. Since she was the eldest, she was supposed to know what to do, instead, she brought trouble to the family.
"Who's he?" The family head asked.
"Hello, I'm Zeke Hoover," Grey spoke up calmly, before taking off the hood of the robe that was hiding his face.
His bewitchingly handsome face came to view for the people who were gathered in the hall, and they all came to a single agreement, he was handsome.
"You're Zeke Hoover?" The family head asked, shocked.
"Yes, I?encountered the sisters on my way back to the city and they told me about the crisis your family was facing because of me, so I decided to come to you so you could hand me to the Smith family," Grey went straight to the point.
He didn't really have a good impression of some of the people here, so he didn't want to stay here for too long.
Most of them were at the Peak of the Origin Plane. The old lady who was scolding Elda the most had not even gotten to the Peak of the Origin Plane, she was still in the Eighth stage, just like Grey.
Grey felt he might kill her with a single strike if he stayed here for too long. He didn't see any reasons for them to be scolding Elda without even allowing her to speak.
'Tsk, such unreasonable old fogies.'
