Chapter 19: Falling on Deaf Ears
The Western Lord returned to the sanctuary of his home and called his daughter to him. With all gravity, he decreed, “It is time to honor your pledge, Sesshoume.”
She stiffened. “He’s human.”
“Ironic, is it not?”
Her eyes narrowed. “He is no match for me.”
“Yet he lives,” he rejoined. In gentler tones, he asked, “Sesshoume, do you want to be conquered?”
“Never!”
“Then, this man is perfect; he is someone you can protect.”
“I would rather kill him,” she retorted huskily.
“You will do no such thing,” her father countered icily. “Or I will personally avenge the man.”
