Walter had questioned Vicky many times since, but Vicky was deliberately vague—all she would say


    was that Walter did not have to worry about her engagement with Titus.


    In other words, Titus and Vicky had decided to annul their engagement in private.


    And knowing that, Walter expected the Lionhearts to send someone over eventually.


    Even if he had no idea why Titus would annul the engagement, the fact that Vicky said it meant that


    Titus had agreed to it.


    While Walter was spacing out in thought, Sif took a sip of her tea and spoke unhurriedly, "There''s


    another month until the engagement that was agreed upon, but Titus told us it has since been annulled


    without citing any reasons."


    Leveling a thoughtful look at Walter, she asked, "I wonder if you''re aware of this, Mr. Turnbull?"


    "What?" Walter did a double take, thought about it, and shook his head. "No, I don''t... But I guess it''s


    Titus and Vicky''s joint decision. We shouldn''t meddle as a third party."


    "I see." Sif nodded as she turned to Susan. "On my way here, I''ve been hearing rumors about Vicky


    having a new lover. Would you happen to know anything about that?"


    Susan stiffened—she knew all too well as her daughter had expressed her admiration toward Frank on


    more than one asion.

    If anything, she could expect the annulled engagement to be Frank''s fault too.


    However, she could not tell Sif—who knew what was going to happen if she did!


    Instead, she gave a nomittal reply. "Of course not. You really shouldn''t listen to such ignorant


    hearsay—you know how close our families are, and it''s inevitable that there are those who are jealous.


    And your brother Titus is the embodiment of talent. Is there any youth whoes close in Eastern


    Draconia?"


    While she spoke, she kept ncing at Walter.


    "That would definitely be best." Sif nodded but continued to probe them, her tone slightly threatening


    just then. "As you know, Titus values his pride more than his life. If he finds out that Vicky left him for


    another. Who knows what he''d do."


    Susan and Walter were both left scowling, and Susan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Well, I don''t know


    what got into the kids, but I''m sure any conflict can be resolved! Naturally, I personally hope that Vicky


    will stick to the engagement. So how about arranging for Titus to visit us again? Vicky will be here, and


    everyone can clear the air face to face."


    Sif frowned as she considered Susan''s suggestion and soon nodded. "True. It''s their issue, and they


    can tell us everything so as to avoid misunderstanding. But the engagement previously agreed upon


    would expire by then.


    Sif looked up with a look of hesitation between Walter and Susan, smiling in amusement. "Have you


    thought this through? This engagement concerns plenty of other affairs, and once it''s actually annulled,


    even the main Turnbull family in Morhen would suffer."
