Hearing about how Renni would constantly mess with Brenden, let alone the betrayal he suffered at her hands, was all news to me, mainly due in part to my lack of communication with my Brother and his wife but also because I couldn't really be bothered to check in on him constantly and what was going on with Vesaragon.
"All I can say is suck it up and don't let Emilia do anything rash; remember, she is completely under my control now." Taking a moment to analyze any potential fallout that could be caused by my bringing Xilia into the household, I eventually decided it didn't matter.
The leash I had around the girl's neck could become a noose at a moment's notice, and contract or not, I wouldn't hesitate to kill her if the situation called for it.
"Right…." Brenden said while looking down at his hands.
