1803 Really?

"Yes!"

The words almost spilled out of Cherie's mouth, she didn't even bother to look toward her fellow head elders. Even after all of this time, she still worried that Leonel would turn around and slaughter their family after he got what he needed out of them. So, the moment she heard this, she didn't allow anyone to be foolish enough to hesitate.

Seaward and Rosellia looked toward Cheri with surprise, but at this point, they didn't dare to detract even if they had such a thought. If they did, the result would be even worse than outright rejection.

Leonel swept a gaze through the head elders and then to Cherie and back. And then, he suddenly smiled.

There didn't seem to be anything special about the smile, but for some reason it made them feel ice cold. If Leonel had said some stern words just now, maybe they could have handled it well enough. But seeing that smile, that casual confidence, any sign of resistance they had crumbled to ash.
