"It's her father's asking, and as for why..." Frank paused, quickly smiling as he cup with an idea. "She and I were engaged as children, and I'm fulfilling that promise." "What?" Chet did a double take, narrowing his eyes in thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe chief of the Martial Alliance was engaged?! He had no idea... No, no one in the Martial Alliance even mentioned anything about that! Was Frank bullshitting?! For Frank's part, he needed a reasonable excuse for his search for the chief of the Martial Alliance, or he would look like he had no business getting involved.
Still, he had one-even if Silverbell was the chief of the Martial Alliance, was there a problem with him looking for his own fiancee? Naturally, the engagement was bullshit, though Frank could argue it was an innocent vow he and Silverbell made while they were children, and it did not count.
However, he mentioned it righteously now just to shut these people up.

Frank smiled and nodded instead of getting standoffish.
"You fought Jaden, didn't you?" Edon demanded. "And the audience toldthat you were poisoned too, just like him!" Chet stood by, not stopping Edon since he was curious too.
"Indeed." Frank nodded.
"Then why are you standing here like you're perfectly fine, talking to us?" Edon asked impatiently.
Frank chuckled and shot back in amusement, "Why should I tell you?" "Guh..." Edon was actually left stumped.
Frank simply shrugged. "The Bearsons poisoned Jaden, even iret your boy insisted I did it. Shouldn't you be asking them instead of me? Or perhaps you think I did it?" Content belongs to en.swhovels"Shut up!" Edon's cheeks flushed even as he barked, "We've already interrogated the Bearsons, but they don't have the antidote! But you? You're lstanding here like it's none of your business! So tell us-what did you do?!" Content belongs to en.swswn Frank's expression cooled as Edon was basically forcing him to answer.
