The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



That was when the youth in plain robes snorted and moved to stand in front of the young woman, blocking Ira's ogling as he snapped coolly, "I am Kairo Wal, an apprentice of Cloudnine Sect's Hall of Flowers. This is my junior Horey Lindt, and if you ogle her for another second longer, I will gouge your eyes out of their sockets!"

Ira's face fell right then, and he clicked his tongue before fleeing, blending in with the crowd.

Even if his family business had some power locally, they could not afford to mess with Cloudnine Sect, one of the South Sea Four.

In fact, Kairo could take his eyes as he threatened, and Ira would not be able to do anything in return.

"Shit, even Cloudnine Sect's apprentices are here?"

"When did Kornac's Keep become so popular?"

"Tut, tut. I guess this is their moment... But guess what? We'll be rich too!"

Kairo did not appear particularly interested in those comments, but at the next instant, he singled out a look of sympathy amid the other worshipful and fearful stares.

"What?!"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Kairo turned to find a plain-looking man staring fixedly at his junior just like Ira, although there was no lust, only sympathy and commiseration. Still, the look left Kairo bristling, and he glared at Frank in turn. "What are you looking at?!"

"Just feeling sympathy for a life lost," Frank replied, still staring at Horey's stomach.

Horey was feeling uncomfortable right then, glancing guiltily at Kairo before glaring at Frank. "Y-You scoundrel! Watch it!"

Frank did not want trouble and turned away, shaking his head.

However, Frank's words seemed to linger in Kairo's mind, and he turned to look suspiciously at Horey, who appeared nonplussed.

Things stayed awkward for a while, until the deafening ring of a gong resounded from the gates.

It caught most of the crowd off guard, and they cupped their ears in pain.

Behind him were over twentyish elders, dressed plainly but carrying the scent of fresh herbs.

Everyone turned serious right then, as they knew that the trial was beginning.

An elder in black robes stood at the center of the elders, clapping his hands to gesture for the gongman to stop.

Then, looking around at the crowd,

he announced solemnly with a nod, "Welcome to Kornac's Keep-it seems that there are more people this year, but I regret to inform you that we're only taking three apprentices just like we always have.
