As Sif's words left the atmosphere tense, Vicky—who had just gotten out of bed
and washed up— strode down the spiral staircase.
Susan quickly changed the subject. "Oh, Vicky. Come here, sit—we were just
discussing your engagement with Titus."
However, Vicky was scowling and raised a hand to stop her.
"I heard what you said," Vicky said, frowning as she turned to Sif. "I'm sorry to
say this ahead of time, but my engagement to Titus Lionheart is called off with no
grounds for negotiation.”
Everyone froze at her words, none of them expecting Vicky to be so blunt.
Could there have been something they did not know?
Susan frowned as she demanded, "What are you saying, Vicky? Have you
woken up fully yet? Why would a proper engagement be called off, and how
could you decide on that alone?!"
"I know what I'm saying, Mom," Vicky said calmly. "It's a shame that Titus
Lionheart and I are just not meant for each other."
Sif rose to her feet, her tone gradually hostile. "What is the meaning of this? Has
my brother offended you in any way?"
“I mean nothing," Vicky retorted with equal pride, unflinching. "To sum it all up,
I'm annulling this engagement!”
"You're what?!"
Vicky's words left everyone present stunned.
So Vicky was the one who suggested it... but more importantly, why would Titus
agree to it?!
However, Sif glowered as she snapped, "Know your place, Vicky Turnbull! You
can annul the engagement all you want, but you must remember who you're
engaged with! You're behaving insolently to us Lionhearts!"
Susan quickly tried to mediate. "Don't jump the gun, Vicky. We can talk about this
—just tell us what happened.”
"Yeah, Vicky. You could at least let us know why, right?" Walter reasoned.
After all, the Lionhearts were one of the Four Families of Morhen.
The wind was in their sails, and they were not to be messed with, let alone
disrespected. If their revered heir had their engagement annulled, how great an
insult would that be to his family and him personally?
