'I f**king knew it. Spending time with this Core Formation old man and getting closer to him was a bad idea,'
Aksai cursed in his heart. He had never been lax when it came to hiding his secrets. And yet, the old man had managed to see through much of the smokescreen.
As those last words settled in the room, Aksai let go of his prejudice and thought about the Blackblood Lord's reasoning. He had to admit—it made a lot of sense.
It wasn't just a simple arrangement. The old man had thought through every detail.
He slowly turned to look at Humeyin. She kept her head low, her long lashes covering her eyes. She seemed deep in thought, unmoving.
Then he turned to Haitin, who grinned and stepped forward.
"Hahaha. What my father says is true," Haitin said, clapping a hand on Aksai's shoulder. "Don't doubt the Blackblood Clan's matchmaking skills, brother-in-law."
He gave him a teasing smile. "I'll do everything I can to help you—as long as you keep my sister happy after the marriage."
