Bab 107: Linsley: I'll Always Protect You, Evangeline

The room was enveloped in silence, the weight of Linsley's words and his overwhelming presence pressing into every corner.

The patriarch, still reeling from the shock of what he had just witnessed, took a moment to compose himself. His gaze shifted to Evangeline, who stood firmly by Linsley's side, her expression calm and resolute. 

She had already made her choice in previous timelines, and now the decision rested with her father.

But even if her father refused, the worst-case scenario would simply be Linsley and Evangeline eloping. She had made her commitment clear.

After what felt like an eternity, the patriarch finally nodded. His voice, steady but carrying a tone of newfound respect, broke the silence. "Yes... you are worthy."

With the patriarch's acceptance, the tension in the room began to dissipate.

Linsley gave a small nod, satisfied with the outcome.
