Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

"Hmmm… not my business? Well, I am making it my business. After all, Francesca is now my friend. Why, as a father, would you force your daughter to marry a man who can not even bathe himself?" Kana asked with a raised eyebrow. She wanted to know the reasons for such a thing.

Francesca looked at Kana as if she was an angel. She also wanted to know the full truth. She didn't even know what item she was being sold for. Fancesca's father had a complicated look on his face as he said: "It's an orb that has infinite amounts of divinity. It will allow me to grow in power and maybe even reach…."

*Bang!*

The table in front of Kana turned to dust as she slammed her fist off it. The teacups and dishes also turned to dust along with the table. "To gain power, you would sell your own daughter!?"

This was something Kana could never forgive. No matter how much power she could gain. She would never sell her child off for such power. "You are not fit to be her father. From this moment on, I will announce it now. Francesca Grandle is under my care. If you even think of trying to force her to marry into that family, I will make it so that you will never be able to walk again, never mind being able to gain the power you so crave. A family should never sell their young for benefits.

"I have reached the stage of power I am at now without ever doing such a thing. I have many sons and daughters all over the multiverse who I watch very closely. I even secretly help them from time to time. But I have never ever thought about selling any of them for power. A family is formed on a bond of trust, not as objects to be pawned off by the parents. Love the young, and the young will love the old. Old man, your daughter may still love you, but the feelings you are returning to her by not even allowing her to marry a person she loves is already enough for one to break off family ties." Kana stood up and was about to leave when a servant walked through the door and bowed their head.

"Sir, The head of the Flask family is here to talk about the engagement. The young master is with him. He had heard that the Young Miss would be here today and hoped to have the two officially meet." The servant reported with her head bowed.

"Oh? Then bring this family here right this instant. We will deal with this engagement here and now." Kana wanted to meet this daily who was so willing to try to pay whatever they could to make their son happy. She was not angry at the young man's family for trying to support their son but this did not mean she approved of how they went about things. But she was more angry at Francesca's father for trying to sell his daughter off. One family knew what it meant to be a family, while the other did not.

The servant was not sure if she should follow Kana's words or not, so she looked at her master, who could only helplessly nod his head. He already knew that this engagement was no longer going to happen.

"Haha! Brother Grandle!" A middle aged man walked in with a big smile on his face. Behind him, a young man who had dirt patches on him and long scraggly hair followed behind him. His eyes did not even land on Francesca but on Kana. They showed a lustful light that Kana immediately picked up on.

"What are you looking at? Do you want me to dig your eyes out?" Kana asked with a snort. This caused the middle aged man from the Flask family to frown as he asked: "Who is this rude girl? How dare she talk to my son like this!"

"Shut up!" Francesca's father yelled out. He did not wish for his entire clan to be wiped out due to this stupid man.

"What!? Brother Grandle, are you really siding with an outsider!?" the middle age man from the flask family asked coldly.

"I think he said shut up, so shut it and sit!" Kana's voice boomed through the room. The middle aged man from the flask family's mouth closed, and he was forced to sit without any control over his own body. He looked at Kana in pure horror. He now understood why his brother yelled at him.

Kana snorted as she looked at the young man. "As soon as you walked into this room, instead of looking at the girl you are supposed to woo, you were staring at me with lust filled eyes. It seems you don't like living!"

"I…." The young man wanted to defend himself, but with one glare from Kana, he quickly closed his mouth.

Kana snorted once more before turning to the two men to her side and said: "I will say this now. Francesca is under my protection. If you want to form some kind of marriage alliance for benefits, then the two of you can marry each other. Do not bring my friends into your friends with benefits crap! And as for you!" Kana turned back to the young man. "Go take a daman shower and clean up. Maybe you can find a girl who will like you for you. By running around as you are now, not a single girl will want to get close to you. You smell and look disgusting. It's a shame, too, since if you did clean up, maybe you could be worthy of Francesca, but it's already too late for that."

With these words, she grabbed Franceca's hand and pulled her along as they left the room and the Grandle estate. As soon as they exited the gate, Francesca broke down in tears and hugged Kana. "Thank you! Thank you!"

Kana smiled helplessly as she patted Francesca's back. "From now on, try to find someone you love who will love you wholeheartedly. You do not need to rush. Love is something that will come naturally sooner or later."
