Chapter Fifteen: The Broken Bear Clan.
Sila chose a girl with the Golden Lion bloodline, a girl with lion ears, a lion tail, golden hair, and golden eyes. She is from the Golden Lion clan. This is strange; the Golden Lion clan is supposed to be a special clan, so how did one of its members become a Shadow? Even in the original work, this girl never appeared; Sila's Shadow in the novel was a male, not a female.
Well, this is good for me, and it's further confirmation that I can twist the story and play with it. This means that killing Lin Feng is possible.
As for Irina, she chose a human girl with black hair and red eyes—it's the same Shadow as in the original work.
Then the twins—Lina chose a girl with black hair; she looks very cute.
As for Lisa, she chose a demonic girl with black hair, budding horns, and red eyes with black edges.
After the ritual ended, I went straight to my room and started planning the next phase of my life. My father had already agreed to my request and betrothed me to several girls, just as I had asked him. Now, it's time to meet one of them, and she is a very unique person.
I decided that my first destination would be one of the powerful clans known for its members' solid physiques and immense strength. And since my fiancée is from there, it was necessary for me to go personally to see her with a specially prepared gift for her.
So, without much thought, I lifted the communication device and contacted the Black Tiger.
After a few minutes, I ended the conversation with the Black Tiger.
The next day, after a full-day journey of walking through mountains and forests, I arrived. The place was covered in dense forests, and towering mountains loomed on the horizon. At the clan's gate, I was greeted by a group of warriors, all of them massive in build and with serious expressions.
Some might wonder why I traveled on foot instead of using a plane or another vehicle. In truth, the reason is that this clan has a special status. And since I am from the Silver family, I fear no one—not even this clan. However, I did this purely out of respect for them.
The second reason is physical training, and the third reason is that this clan will not allow anyone to enter unless they arrive on foot, even if it leads to the clan's destruction. They will uphold their traditions and will not change them no matter the reason.
Anyway, I am now standing in front of the guard.
Hello.
The guard said: Who are you? And what do you want?
I gave a slight smile and replie
I am Ryan Silver from the Silver family.
The guards exchanged glances before one of them stared at me, as if assessing me.
The guard said: "You are the fiancée of the young lady?
I nodded. There was only one girl who had been betrothed to me in this clan, and she was the youngest daughter of the clan leader.
The guard said: Alright, but don't think it's that easy!
I was escorted to the main hall of the clan's palace, where the leader was sitting on his throne made of massive beast bones. Beside him stood a girl with dark brown hair and golden eyes that radiated strength. She wore combat attire that revealed her strong muscular build, but she didn't lose her femininity.
The girl spoke confidently as she looked me up and down: So, you're Ryan?
I smiled.
Yes, and it looks like you're the eldest daughter, right?
The girl said with a bold smile: Exactly. But don't think I'll accept you easily. We don't acknowledge anything that hasn't been earned through strength.
I raised an eyebrow and looked into her eyes.
Does this mean you want to test me? Are you challenging your clan's authority over the Silver family? Or are you tired of life and seeking collective extinction?
Her facial expression changed slightly, but she maintained her calm.
The girl said: "No, we are not challenging your authority. But we believe that power is what determines an individual's status. If you want our respect and acceptance, you must prove your worth."
I understand. And what kind of test do you suggest?
She smiled confidently.
The girl said: A duel. If you manage to defeat me, we will recognize you as a person worthy of respect.
Defeat you in a fight? You want to fight me?
The girl said: "That's right. I want to fight you.
I looked at the clan leader, who nodded with a smile, as if enjoying the situation.
Are you serious? Look at yourself. You've truly grown strong, and you are one of the strongest people in the Third Continent.
I'm just a child who hasn't grown hair yet. Do you want me to show you that I haven't grown hair yet?
Are you mocking me, or what? I'm just a person who is slightly stronger than regular people, and you're someone who can destroy a mountain. This isn't fair to me, I'm just a child.
However, if you don't mind, my father will fight this battle instead of me.
The girl said: I refuse that. Your father is much stronger than me, you are right, it wouldn't be fair to you. So, what do you think about having this battle once you become stronger? That means we will postpone this matter until you are as strong as I am. Do you agree?
Alright, I agree. However, what will I get if I win?
قالت الفتاة: سوف نتعرف عليك في عشيرة الدب.
"This is useless to me. What will I gain from your clan's recognition? Nothing, so I refuse. However, if your clan is willing to fulfill three requests of mine, I will accept.
The girl said: "You really are from the Silver family. This is my condition. Alright, if you lose, you will leave my sister, and your family will not interfere in the affairs of my Bear Clan. And if I lose to you, my clan will fulfill three of your requests.
Alright, it's a deal between us.
Leader of the clan, she has come today just for me to meet my fiancée. I heard she's around my age. I want to see her.
The bear clan leader said: Alright, Ryan Silver, you may.
one of the servants came and started directing me to my fiancée's room.
I silently followed the servant, while the sound of our soft footsteps echoed in the long corridor. I didn't know what to expect. I had never met her before, but curiosity was filling me. A girl from the Bear Clan… what would she be like? And one of the main heroines?
The servant stopped in front of a wooden door intricately decorated in a honeycomb pattern, then knocked gently. After a moment, the servant slowly opened the door, and I entered the room. There was a young girl sitting on the edge of her bed, her amber eyes glowing with the reflection of sunlight coming through the window.
She looked… very cute. Her short brown hair gently framed her small face, and her bear-like ears twitched slightly as if she were nervous. The small, round brown tail behind her moved lightly. She looked at me with anticipation, then stood up, holding the edges of her loose shirt as if trying to calm herself.
I took a deep breath, then smiled at her.
Hello, I'm Ryan Silver. Nice to meet you.
Her ears twitched slightly, then she nodded shyly.
Kayla said in a soft voice: "I'm Kayla… Hello.
Her voice was delicate, closer to a shy whisper. I took a step forward, trying to make the atmosphere less tense, and asked gently:
May I sit?
She hesitated for a moment, then gestured to a chair beside her. I sat down while she sat again on the edge of the bed, avoiding direct eye contact.
I tried to break the silence
I heard you're around my age… Is that true?
She nodded quietly.
Kayla said: Yes… I'm ten.
And so am I.
I smiled.
It seems like we'll get to know each other quite well, since we're engaged.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't say anything, just moved her tail lightly. She seemed very shy… and that made me even more curious to know more about her.
Fiancée, you're really cute. I really like you.
Her cheeks flushed, and a soft red spread across her neck and face. She placed her hand on her face out of embarrassment, trying to avoid my gaze.
I sat closer to her.
Fiancée, I brought you a very special gift. I think you'll really like it.
Then I took out a large jar filled with honey and handed it to her.
She took it and hugged it gently.
She hugged the large jar filled with honey enthusiastically, with a happy smile on her face.
Well, I love the gift.
Kayla said: Thank you.
No need to thank me, you're my fiancée. If you want more, you can tell me or come to me anytime, okay?
Then I gently patted her head.
She nodded.
After that, we continued talking about many things.
Kayla, in the original work, because she was such a shy girl, her life wasn't easy. However, because she possessed the bloodline of the ancient bear, this granted her the status of heir and the next leader of the Brown Bear Clan.
She is one of the main heroines in the novel, a very important character in Lin Feng's journey.
However, I am someone who has read the novel and knows how to win her heart. Anyway, I have plenty of time to do that.
