Bab 174: Chapter 174: Ravier’s Deal

---

The grand dining hall was heavy with silence after Ravier's bombshell proposal.

Dabi stared at his grandfather, his mind racing with indignation.

The idea of being used as a pawn in yet another royal game made his blood boil.

Ravier leaned back in his chair, his face calm but resolute.

"This is not a demand, Dabi. It is an opportunity an arrangement that will benefit you and this family immensely.

Securing your Aunt Nazu's return to you will require it. A marriage alliance strengthens our position and ensures our influence against those who oppose us."

"Influence?" Dabi's voice was sharp, cutting through the quiet. "You mean control. You're asking me to sacrifice my future for your politics."

"Ravier said. Does family mean nothing to you?" It will benefit you Dabi.

I didn't even make decision yet, will I join your family or not. My siblings and I were alone since Dad and Mom's death.
