< Wouldn't it be efficient if the majority could benefit from the sacrifice of a few? >

If she were to marry Max, a cold-blooded man who only sees people as a chess pieces, Juvellian's future was obvious.

Regis raised his sharp eyes and looked at his disciple.

'He's a fool, his arrogance knows no bound and he would use any means in order to accomplish his objectives, even if they're only meant to be a pawn.'

Over the years, Regis had witnessed many situations that could act as evidences.

Max was a man of poor character, but distinguished himself in his resourcefulness.

Even if they look ordinary without being outstanding, Max has leadership and that is what encourages the morale of the group.

In Regis' opinion, if his daughter turned into a pawn and managed to reach the end of the rank and was promoted to queen, the end result will not be good.

'If you marry a man who doesn't know his people are precious, it will only lead to a thorny path.'

Regis was staring at his foolish disciple with a angry eye.

"I'm not asking for permission right away, Father. It will take a while, so that is why I'm asking you to watch."

A sharp but strong voice, eyes that were a harmony of blue and violet.

Juvellian seemed determined to have a relationship with Max.

'Even if I don't allow it, she will continue due to her stubbornness.'

Wasn't it widely known that there were no parents who could win over their children?

It was the same with Regis.

He couldn't resist his daughter's stubbornness.

'Like what happened with Mikhail, you'll break up.'

Regis was going to slowly let his daughter know about who Max truly was.

"All right."

"Thank you, father." Said Juvellian with a bright smile, not knowing the dark thoughts her father had in his mind.

Seeing her innocent face, Regis felt his heart throbbing.

'I'm sorry, but everything is to protect you.'

"Well, Father. I have something I have to talk about with Max. Can we go up to my room?"

He said he would wait and see it, but was it because he didn't outright give us permission?

My father stared at us coldly and only nodded once.

'Well, actually, getting permission is not the only purpose.'

My purpose is to make my father give up my on marriage proposal with the Crown Prince.

Even if my father fiercely opposes our relationship, I hope it is enough to make him give up on the idea of the marriage proposal.

"Then I'll go." My father still didn't respond.

'Yes, you must be disappointed in me with all of this.'

A sigh came out. Now, instead of inheriting his property, I'm in a situation where I can't even get married.

'Now the only solution is independence. Until then, let's try to hold on somehow.'

I walked to my room with Max.
