Walter also reasoned, "That's right, Vicky. You should talk to us about something
like this."
After all, Titus was the gem of his family's younger generation and a prodigy even
among all the rich kids in Morhen. Not only did he reach Birthright rank before
thirty, but he had also already secured a strong position in Volsung Sect.
Heiresses worshiped his good looks and tremendous potential and would go
crazy for him.
And yet, Walter's own daughter did not seem to care, even demanding to have
their engagement annulled?!
No matter how impressive Frank was, he would never measure up to Titus or any
of the strength and influence he boasted.
Even so, Vicky remained impassive as she retorted, "I alone will decide who I
marry, not anyone else. And I'm not about to sacrifice myself for the sake of
family."
Before this, she would have been able to accept the engagement and
arrangement for the sake of her family's gains and prosperity. After all, she stood
to profit in every way if she married Titus anyway.
He was a suitable partner for marriage for her—looks, competence, a
straightforward personality and a bright future? The man was almost flawless...
But that was the past.
Ever since Vicky started to spend time with Frank, her heart had no space for
another man.
Why suffer a loveless marriage to someone she did not know instead of the
strong, decisive, and blunt man before her?
However, Susan could choke from Vicky's stubborn attitude and screamed at her,
"How old do you think you are?! What's the point of love?! Does it put food on the
table?! Take your time and find love for Titus Lionheart—you're my child, and
you'll listen to me! You're marrying no one else, because it's the only way you'll
be happy and not find any regrets while the rest of us will live in peace! Get it
through your thick skull: the family would suffer if you annul the engagement!"
"That's right!" Walter agreed. "I know you love Frank, but does he even hold a
candle to Titus? Don't forget that the South Sea Crow is after us—a time bomb
that would blow us all up at any moment! We'd be dead without the Lionhearts'
protection!"
"I'll deal with the South Sea Crow." Vicky frowned, perfectly aware of that issue
as well.
Her words left Susan hacking violently. "You'll deal with her?! How?! It's been
three years, but members of the South Sea Four are found assassinated at every
turn! Our own family has been living on edge and just waiting for the day she
pays us a visit. Do you think we'd be living in comfort like we do now without the
Lionhearts' protection?!"

Vicky fell silent at her father's words.
A month—that was all she had.
