Selma Payne's POV:
He didn't immediately answer, nor did he refuse.
My father didn't speak and just stared at him. I didn't know what was going on, so my eyes moved between the two of them.
Sir Aldrich was like a completely different person. He was a lively, lovely big boy who tried to flirt with me. Now his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked at my father without fear. He finally made me feel that he was a brave warrior.
My father was also very scary now. His eyes are full of nobility, seriousness, and many other things I couldn't describe. Although he was usually very kind and liked to joke with me, I couldn't look him in the eye at the moment. I didn't have the courage.
Just as I thought the atmosphere had reached a stalemate, Aldrich took a step back.
"This is my honor, Your Majesty."
