The Medallion

"Quiet, gentlemen! That's enough. I really can't do anything about this matter. If Sabina refuses to come out and see you, then I can't force her to do so even if I am her father," Elvis said as his eyes gleamed with annoyance. In fact, it was not because he didn't want to, but because of his daughter's stubborn temper. If she didn't want it, then there was nothing the family could do to reach an agreement with her, especially when it was about match-making.

"You need to do something about this, Chief Elvis. Please, there must be something you can do. All of us have traveled such long distances just to meet Miss Sabina. Please, at least let us see her. Let us show her our appreciation!" Leonard suggested immediately. They thought they might still get a chance to show Sabina how much they appreciate her despite Sabina not showing up. Moreover, they thought they could at least leave her an impression in case she changed her mind in future. But as the clock ticked and without any sign of Sabina, it seemed that they were just pouring water into a sieve and would leave the area empty-handed.

Upon hearing Leonard's proposition, the people echoed their thoughts and nodded their heads.

"Well..." Elvis said, as soon as the crowd quieted down. "Okay, I'll try once more. I'll send someone to ask her opinion about the matter. But if she refuses again, then I'll be at the end of my rope! No more bothering her!" He heaved a deep sigh after gesturing his hands into a cross.

Not long after, Elvis waved at a servant, who came up to him immediately and whispered into the servant's ear. Immediately, the servant went out to Sabina.

Meanwhile, Elvis served all the guests with various teas and desserts while waiting for news from his daughter. A few moments later, the servant returned and bowed his head at his Chief. Then, he reported, "My Chief, Miss Sabina said she will only see one of the gentlemen this time. But under one condition—he must be able to catch her Duchess Silver first! Miss Sabina has let Duchess Silver out, and it's in the courtyard as we speak."

Hearing this exciting news made the crowd immediately noisy as they exchanged their thoughts.

"Oh, what is she trying to do?" Elvis smiled bitterly and said, "Pardon me, but I think my daughter is just kidding. Please don't take it seriously. You are all seniors after all, even if you're here for her today. Such a behavior offends against good taste, anyway. So, please don't!"

Amidst the sea of voices, Leonard loudly replied, "I have no objection to her request, sir! I'd like to try!" His voice sounded confident, despite knowing that Sabina's Duchess Silver was a rare kind of spiritual beast. After all, he felt that with his current strength, it would not be too hard for him to catch the beast.

Meanwhile, Elvis sighed again because he remembered why Sabina ran away from home that year. He couldn't forget it easily as it lingered in his heart and tortured him. There was never a day when he felt not guilty,
