NovelEnglish"Good boy," I praised him while I stood up and patted Walric on his head.
At this point Walric was sitting on his knees, his face was covered with sweat and his eyes were widened to their limit like they will come out any moment now; he was terrified down to his core.
Was this because he never expected me to act this way? Or because he is scared of his father finding out what he did?
I'm pretty sure he will be kicked out of his family if his father finds out about *that*, but then again, it can be both reasons.
"Here, come on, we have to go back," I said, offering him my hand so he can stand up, at the same time the grin I had on my face turned into a kind and wholesome smile.
He looked in my direction; his eyes carried a look of suspicion. Then slowly he reached out to my hand and grabbed it, using it as the support he stood up on his feet.

"Y-You…I-I will leave your sister alone, t-then you will not talk to my father about that right? I mean, you really won't right?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Geez, how silly someone can be!
"Of course not, I may have been a little rude to you but that was all to protect my sister, and…I'm not the type to break a promise," I replied, patting him on his back.
I am sure he was a little relieved after hearing that as his expression changed to normal and he calmed down.
I was able to tell that because his breathing has gone back to normal now.
Then we both went back to where my and Walric's parents were, he joined his father who seemed to have finished the argument with Ron.
Before leaving I stood near Ainge and asked her for the details. Then she told me about why Walric and his father were here, of course, she was whispering so others can't hear.
The situation was like this, last night a letter reached was delivered to Walric; informing him that Anya has gotten a seat in the magic academy and thus their marriage won't be possible now.
After that, this morning Walric's father was informed by the officers that their family's nobility has been taken away and all the money they had in their bank account had been transferred to our bank account.
He tried to ask for details but the officers refused, saying they are have been ordered to not leak any information to anyone.
But they did tell him where the money has been transferred to he came running to our house in order to talk with Ron about it, but it turns out that even Ron doesn't know anything about it.
That was all. In the end, he left our house but gave Ron a warning that he won't stop till he finds out what caused their fall; obviously, he was thinking that Ron was lying about not knowing anything.
"Seems like a lot of trouble huh," I muttered. Then I left and headed upstairs to my room, after all, I have someone waiting for an explanation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEntering my room I caught sight of that person, Anya I mean. She was still waiting for me.
"Still here?"
"Didn't I say before? I won't be letting you go till you explain everything you did and how?"
Ah well, talk about being desperate. Her acting this way is not usual, hence this behavior looked cute to me. I even laughed a little over this fact.
Then I walked a few steps and stood on a wooden chair that was placed in front of a desk.
"Okay, but you better take a seat since this will be a long talk," I said while I held a pen in my hand and placed a paper on the desk.
Following my advice, Anya sat on my bed and waited for me to start talking.
'Sigh~ from where should I start? Hmm, it's better to tell her everything or it can cause trust issues in the future. If that happens then it will be a problem.'
I took a deep breath as I prepared myself to talk for a long period. Then I spoke up.
"I started moving after you told me about this whole marriage thing…"
