The Medallion novel Chapter 1723

"Father, what is the matter? I did not do anything wrong," Gloria said in a defensive tone.

"How dare you feign ignorance? Gilbert has sent someone to give me a message. He said that you maliciously destroyed the engagement ceremony between the Godly Geniuses of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief. You signed your name on the engagement covenant and even stole it! What were you thinking?! Damn it. It's my fault that I spoiled you too much." Adrian knew that what his daughter did this time was something that could not be easily forgiven. In fact, if he did not do anything right away, it might cause an inevitable dispute between their fief and the other two fiefs.

"Why are you scolding me? I was just trying to secure the benefits of our fief through my own methods!" Gloria retorted as she pursed her lips.

"Is that what you think? But I think you just brought trouble instead! Fortunately, you were able to escape. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would have said to Gilbert to let him release you," Adrian answered coldly.

"About that... I did not escape by myself," Gloria mumbled as she let out a sly smile.

"What do you mean? How did you get out of their territory?" Adrian asked hesitantly as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Odin helped me."

"Odin? The Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief? Why would he do that? Didn't you steal his engagement covenant? That doesn't make any sense." Of course, Adrian was confused. He didn't know Rocky's motive, so he didn't understand why the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief would help his daughter escape.

"Humph! Didn't you say that I brought trouble this time? Then, no matter what I say, I'm sure that you will just blame me anyway. What's the point of telling you everything?" Gloria said provokingly.

"Fine. Fine. I take it back. Are we cool now? Can you continue what you're saying earlier? Tell me what exactly happened." As Adrian sighed, his tone eventually softened.

"Well, I actually can't explain everything in detail right now. But to put it simply, Odin doesn't want to be married to Valeria. At the same time, Valeria feels the same way. So, in other words, the two of them just get engaged to strengthen the alliance of their fiefs," Gloria summarized.

"But that's understandable. Most of the time, that is what happens. So, I still don't understand why he deliberately helped you," Adrian said with furrowed brows.

"It's because he wants to cooperate with me," Gloria quickly replied.

"Cooperate with you? How can you be sure about that?"

"Well, I don't know his entire plan, but if there is one thing that I'm sure of, it's that he doesn't want an enemy out of the Genie Fief. Hence, although informally, he and I are now allied," Gloria reiterated.

"I see. That does sound good. Right now, the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief are officially allied, so Odin can already mobilize the power of the two fiefs. With this secret alliance of yours, it means that we can also cooperate with them..." Adrian nodded repeatedly as he commented.

"Yes, exactly. So, do you think that I still made trouble for you and the fief?" Gloria said with a snort.

"But it doesn't erase the fact that you destroyed their engagement ceremony. Everyone has heard about that! What do you think will be your image now?" Adrian retorted fairly.

"I need to make a sacrifice! If I did not make a fuss back then, then I wouldn't have known what Odin really wanted! Because of that, I now have the chance to win him over," Gloria argued as her eyes flashed with mischief.

"What do you mean? What are you planning to do?" Just from the look at her daughter's eyes, Adrian knew that she must have some cunning ideas.

"Father, I want you to go to the Ghost Fief and talk with Leader Gilbert. I want to get married to Odin," Gloria said without hesitation. It seemed that she was not satisfied with her secret alliance with Rocky. After all, she could not hold anything concrete just from it. Hence, she thought that it would be much better if she was officially married to him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? He and the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief are engaged! Do you think Gilbert will just let the two of you get married? That is such a disgraceful thing to do!" Adrian almost jumped up from his seat as he heard the ridiculous ploy of his daughter.
