章 8: Chapter 8

"You really expect me to marry someone this early for a dog?" Azarel questioned haughtily while crossing his arms in front of him. It was as if he just heard the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard in his entire life

"I believe so. Your answer?" Azael asked back boredly and his son gave him a middle finger

"You son of a bitch, I will do it but if you dare to harm my lovely Duke, I'll snap your neck myself!"

In the end, Azarel can only give up. Between this pair of father and son, there is no need for a long talk

Both of them are completely aware of what each other could do and talking was merely a waste of time

"Language!" Azael muttered with a frown. This son of his was really disrespectful. He wondered how such a person become his son

"Not you minding manners after threatening to harm my beloved!" Azarel replied sarcastically

"I am still your father, you freaking freak!"

"Hah! What father? More like the Demon King!"

"Just because I tolerate you even if you are gay doesn't mean you can just do or say whatever you want!"

"What do you want? The father of the year award?"

And just like that, the usual screaming and throwing insult scene appeared in the Manor again just in the first night that the only son returned

"Guys! Guys! Calm down! Azarel, just listen to father. Didn't he let you marry anyone you want? That's a big compromise on his part!" For the nth time, Hessy tried to mediate between the two but Azarel just glared at her

"Shut up, Hessy! You are the middle child, no one cares about your opinion!"

"What did you say?!"

Hessy immediately stood up from her seat, ready to hit her brother with all her might when Navier hugged her in the waist to stop her

"Just let him be. Nothing good would happen when dealing with that bastard" Navier said while holding her sister back that is trying to reach his brother with her sharp nails

"Oh please, as if dealing with you is the dream!" Azarel retorted and the atmosphere instantly turned hostile on all sides

No one knows who started what but they all screamed at each other as if they are in a war

"You're smiling sir. In truth you miss being with the whole family, right?" Landers whispered to Azael that immediately cough to remove the smile that unconsciously formed on his face

"Who would miss such a dysfunctional family?" Azael feigned ignorance and Landers can only shake his head as the former is not being completely honest with himself

The catfight continued until Azarel slammed his palm into the table. "Argh, whatever! I don't like hearing any of you. I'm out of here!"

With that, Azarel immediately marched back to that ridiculously large door

"Where the hell are you going?" Azael questioned angrily and Azarel didn't even look back. He merely raised his hand while showing his middle finger

"I'm going to search for a husband you will surely like! Take care of my Duke while I am gone!" Azarel answered sarcastically

———-

Azarel rode his car and hit the road before putting one wireless earphone in his ear as he dialed a number

"Hello, sir" a woman's voice answered from the other end of the phone

This woman is Glynn Rize, Landers's daughter

If Landers is loyal to Azarel's father, Glynn on the other hand is loyal to Azarel

Let's just say that Azael is an old misogynistic and old-fashioned man as such, Glynn doesn't really like him and she would rather follow that man's son

"Where are you?"

"In my loft, reviewing our papers for the launch of your business"

Glynn is a workaholic woman much to Azarel's advantage. Even on Christmas Eve, she would rather spend it reviewing paperwork rather than celebrating the holiday

"Stop that. For now, I want you to create a list of candidates that could be my husband. Choose the ones that my father would surely hate to the bones!"

"I'm sorry, sir, I think there is something wrong with the connection. Can you repeat what you have said?"

"I said, compile a list of husband candidates!"

"Hah, that's weird. This is the second time I heard sir saying you want a list of husband candidates"

Azarel rolled his eyes at that. He was sure that Glynn in just in disbelief resulting in this scene

"You heard me right, stop acting dumb!"

"Sir, are you going to die soon?"

Azarel groaned at that. This is the reaction he and his siblings had for his father and now, he was receiving the same reaction. He really hates how his father and he are too alike

"No, but you soon might!" Azarel replied. "My stupid father is threatening me using my lovely Duke. He told me I can marry anyone from peasants to billionaires but we both know our father. He surely has a reason for wanting my marriage this early"

"Filter all the candidates well! Make sure that their background is clean and that they don't have any connections with my father. My guess is that he would slip in a candidate he already chose to make more connections!"

Others would merely think that Azael just wants his son to get married but certainly not people that know that old man

Everyone knows that Azael is not the type of person to make a big decision for nothing. It always has a reason that would benefit him

Azarel knows his father well and that man is surely playing some tricks behind the scene

For now, Azarel's only guess is that a 'mole' would enter his candidate list. That mole surely comes from another filthy rich family and his father might be using him to build rapport

That was basically Azael selling his own son but that thinking is not a stretch at all. With Azael's personality, he could definitely do something that despicable

"Understood sir. Do you have any preference or something?"

"That isn't necessary, it's not like it would be in a real marriage. I just want someone that don't have connections with my father and is someone that he would hate to death. Preferably a person that could give my father a heart attack or something. And oh, choose one that is at least not ugly. Even if I were to have a fake marriage, it would not be with someone ugly!"
