The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

As Frank looked up to meet Silverbell's eyes, he said quietly, "No, Lady Silverbell. It's our first encounter, just as this is my first time hearing about the Martial Alliance.”

"The Martial Alliance." Silverbell spaced out for a moment and started explaining for some reason, "The South Sea Four founded the alliance, and only notable sects or factions in Draconia are offered a place...”

It was only at the end that she came to her senses, frowning as she wondered why she would explain the Martial Alliance to some punk she did not know.

Swish!

She whipped her sword, speaking quietly, "Less talking. Since you're representing Sage Lake Sect for their trial, you must be prepared. Show me what you have and whether the Sage Lake Sect is worth the alliance’s time!"

"Go, go, Frankie!" Maron cheered for Frank with fake enthusiasm, waving his phone at Frank at the same time to warn him against pulling anything funny.

Frank was not actually going to do it—if he were to be honest, he would like to see how much Silverbell had improved, as he had not met the brat for a decade.

Turning toward one of the Sage Lake Sect apprentices nearby, he held out his hand. "Lend me your sword.”

"Sir..." The apprentice was taken aback and turned toward Maron.
