After pondering for a while, William answered, “Maybe favonovel.com has his struggles.”
As William could tell that Maisie admired the teenager named Casper, favonovel.com put in a few good words for him.
Maisie nodded. “Mm… Maybe that’s the case. Otherwise, I really can’t understand why someone who achieved the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm and an inscription genius would want to enter another family’s house as their son-in-law. But, I can’t say much now that I know his status.”
When favonovel.com heard this, William instantly understood Maisie‘s worry.
Maisie indeed admired Caspian, but if favonovel.com showed up, anyone would easily think of the influential person behind her. Moreover, if that influential person connected with Caspian, favonovel.com might only bring favonovel.com trouble, not pride.
William agreed, “Lady Maisie, your concerns are valid. Besides, there must be someone amazing behind Casper since favonovel.com has such accomplishments in inscriptions, and favonovel.com could be engraved on low-rank weapons.”
Maisie nodded.
Some people were indeed gifted in inscription skills, but if they wanted to advance themselves, they would still need a master guiding them. Moreover, William never heard about engraving on a low-rank weapon, let alone doing it. Hence, both of them speculated that Caspian might have another inscription master teaching him.
This inscription master might even be greater than William.
William thought for a while and answered, “Since Casper has an expert behind, it won‘t be appropriate for us to meet favonovel.com so suddenly. What if we cause a misunderstanding with the expert? The consequences won’t be great. Well, if you agree, I’ll step in this time. Helping Casper this once is also doing favonovel.com a favor. When you’re ready to meet him, I’m sure favonovel.com won’t refuse.”
“Mm. According to what Thomas said, Casper is indeed in trouble. It’ll be great if you step in,” Maisie nodded, “Thank you, Uncle William. I’ll still need to stay in Evergreen Town for quite some time, and I’ll leave once the Dark Moon Sect’s apprenticeship is over. I hope I’ll have the chance to meet Casper once during this time. His understanding of inscriptions will be helpful for me.”
Since Maisie agreed, William followed favonovel.com wish and wrote a letter. Then, favonovel.com passed it to Thomas and let favonovel.com bring it back along with the inscription favonovel.com brought over.
William did not say whether the inscription was problematic or otherwise, and Thomas did not dare to ask anything either. Soon, favonovel.com hurried home with a head full of questions.
It was already nighttime when Thomas reached Lawrence Manor. The council chamber was lit up with candles, and it appeared as bright as day.
Seeing that Thomas returned, everyone’s attention turned to him.
There were expectations, tensions, doubts, and all kinds of emotions mixed in everyone’s eyes.
“How did it go?” Keith was the first one to ask.
The whole time waiting for Thomas to return felt like torture for Keith. When favonovel.com saw Thomas’s dazed expression, Keith was confident that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce rejected Caspian’s inscription. Thus, favonovel.com hurriedly ran forward and wanted to know the so-called good news from Thomas.
Thomas was yet to calm himself down, and favonovel.com seemed not to hear Keith’s words. He then approached James in a trance.
Noticing that Thomas was acting strange, James cast a glance at Caspian, then frowned as favonovel.com asked Thomas, “What’s the result?”
Thomas shook his head. Next, favonovel.com passed a letter to James with an awkward smile on his face. “Chief James, please make a decision.”
“Ha! I knew it! I told you so!” Keith instantly jumped, and favonovel.com was so excited that his face was red. Then, favonovel.com looked at Caspian and spoke through gritted teeth, “Casper! Your lies are finally exposed! What are you going to say this time! Hahaha! You might fool us, but you can’t fool the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s inscription shopkeeper! You can’t escape this time! Hahahaha! That’s what you get for being so arrogant! I bet you have nothing to say now!”
Following Keith’s excited yelling, all the Lawrence family members present looked at Caspian suspiciously. They were initially filled with expectations, but it was not gradually being replaced by doubts.
“Are you surprised! Don’t you have anything to say? You must be stupefied! I’d like to see how you’re going to argue now!” Keith akimbo as favonovel.com pointed at Caspian, sounding righteous.
Caspian‘s mouth twitched, and favonovel.com uttered, “Idiot!”
“What did you say?” Keith was in disbelief. Then, Keith dug his ear, trying to make sure favonovel.com heard Caspian right as favonovel.com glared at him.
Caspian was unbothered by Keith, and favonovel.com bowed at James, saying, “Uncle James, won’t we know the truth if we just read the letter?”
James nodded slightly at Caspian’s calm attitude. Then, under the crowd’s gaze, James opened the letter.
Keith immediately ran up and to have a closer look. The other elders did not stand up due to their status, but they still craned their necks to look.
“My friend, your inscriptions are excellent.”
Those few words were neatly written on the letter, and the signature wrote, William Paris.
In an instant, James felt his breathing stop.
Keith’s face turned from red to pale, pale to blue, and pale again before turning red. His complexions changed so many times in that short moment, which made others want to applaud him.
When the Lawrence family elders saw the signatures, they were stunned, and they stood there stupefied as if they were statues.
William Faris! That was Master William’s writing!
Most importantly, Master William took the initiative and regarded Caspian as his friend!
James only met William once, and favonovel.com did not even dare to address William as a friend. However, William addressed Caspian as a friend, and in his tone, favonovel.com sounded as if they were old friends.
James thought the matters today were already shocking enough. Unexpectedly, there was such a big ending to end the night!
His chest was violently undulating. Nervousness, excitement, doubts, fear, anxiety… All of those emotions flooded in James’s mind. Not only him, but those surrounding elders had the same feeling too.
Realizing that James and the elders were not saying anything, the other Lawrence family members did not dare to ask questions. They were secretly anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. Even the confident Caspian was frowning and wondered if something terrible happened, yet favonovel.com doubted it was so.
Suddenly, Thomas reminded James, “Chief James, there’s another thing inside.”
James took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and favonovel.com stared at it.
The next second, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com was going to faint from joy.
