Chapter 168: Blackmailed
"I'll give you the most precious thing I own, my daughter."
Those words grated on Jack's ears. It was unexpected and Jack couldn't even take back the sword because Argyle had already stored it away.
"HUH?!"
"My daughter will be in your care, Jack, so make sure to treat her right," stated Argyle, oblivious to Jack's response. "I still feel like I'm the one losing out in this deal, but I can make an exception this one time."
"What are you talking about? I can't marry your daughter, I've got way too many things to do!"
"You will marry my daughter, whether you like it or not. I've already accepted your gift, so you must accept mine. If you can't accept my kindness, then I'll be forced to act in anger and take everything you have, including your life!"
"Really? What makes you think you can pull that off?"

I've gotten a lot of backlash about this and just wanted to say something. Isn't this the exact same as a betrothal, something that's been happening for thousands of years? Does it not make sense for Argyle to do this, following the logic of the world? Just food for thought. If you still disagree, feel free to let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading and following the story!
