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.
"| heard what you said," Vicky said, frowning as she turned to Sif. "I'm sorry to say this ahead of time, but my engagement toTitus 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 engagementbe called off, and how could you decide on that alone?!"
"| know what I'm saying, Mom," Vicky said calmly. "It's a shame that Titus Lionheart and | 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?"
"| mean nothing," Vicky retorted with equal pride, unflinching. "To sum it all up, I'm annulling this engagement!"
