Female Novel
Chapter 848
Sif immediately realized what she had actually said right after she said it.She could well have admitted to aiding Yed in assassinating Ciril!
Not only would that lead to a diplomatic crisis between the Lionhearts and the Jankos, but her actions and her family would alsobe quickly condemned far and wide if word spread.
Also, there was no doubt that the Lionhearts were as influential as they were powerful enough to not fear the Jankos. But if theyreally pushed the Jankos too far, they would definitely retaliate and perhaps succeed in taking their two pounds of flesh from theLionhearts before they went down.
In short, it was completely unnecessary heat.
With that in mind, Sif quickly switched gears, her tone cool as she said, "I'm a close friend of Yed's, and | won't sit idly by whenhe's being abused. | couldn't care less about any family dispute that happened here."
“Well, what happens in the family stays in the family," Ned said pointedly. "And since I'm sure you weren't conspiring with Yed,feel free to see yourself out, Ms. Lionheart."
Sif was stumped—at this point, defending Yed would only mean that he was in league with Yed, and that she had provided thepoison and conspired against Ciril.
However, she refused to leave empty-handed!
Snorting, she wheeled on Frank and snapped coolly, "I'll refrain from meddling against your rotten affair, but this man is myenemy. Or are the Jankos going to stop me from taking him with me, even if it means invoking the wrath of the Lionhearts?!"novelbin
"Huh?"
Ned turned to Frank in confusion, but he soon snorted as he turned back to Sif. "Watch it! My family owes this man a debt. If youinsist on taking him, we will declare war on you!"
"Who do you think you are?!" Sif bellowed, staring straight at Ned with a look of contempt. "You were next in line to succeed Ciril
Janko, but you're still a loser and a eunuch? And you think you speak for the Jankos now?! Don't make me laugh!That was when a rich voice boomed, saying, "Ned doesn't speak for the family, you say? Then what about me?!"
Both Ned and Lothar were immediately overjoyed when they heard the voice, whereas Frank appeared nonchalant, as if he hadexpected this.
And it was no exaggeration to say that Sif was the most shocked person in the room, as everyone watched Ciril himself appearbefore them in golden robes!
The man had a lion-like appearance, and his rich voice was just as resounding as a lion's roar!"What?!" Sif blurted. "Didn't Yed say they poisoned him already?! How is he still—"
Even as she was left shocked and uncertain, Ciril slowly strode toward her, asking quietly, "What's the matter, Ms. Lionheart? Itseems you're really surprised that I'm appearing before you alive and well."
"N-No..." Sif replied stiffly, even as she cursed Yed inwardly for his incompetence."Hmph!"
Ciril snorted, his voice booming like abolt from the blue and almostknocking Sif off his.f ety MEO mMwrense (ete ee important guestot the Janko family, and a manwhom we're indebted to—hisenemies are my enemies! Rememberthat!" The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
"Y-Yes, Mr. Janko..." Sif replied sheepishly, afraid to speak too loudly in the presence of a peak Ascendant rank.
