"Vienna, why didn't you leave?" Belial asked upon noticing her presence.
Vienna smiled as she moved closer. "Because I want to join in your family discussion as well. I've taken care of Bella like my own child, so I will complete the duty in her mother's absence," she said, gently holding Bella's hand in support.
"And, my lord husband, you can't refuse," she added with a resolute look, her wings straightening in defiance.
Bella glanced gratefully at Vienna.
"Bella, why don't you introduce me to our son-in-law?" Vienna asked with a teasing smile.
Bella smiled, but Belial furrowed his brows.
"Hey, who is our son-in-law? I haven't approved anything yet!"
Ignoring her father's protest, Bella intertwined her hand with Aengus's. "Of course, Mother. His name is Aengus, and we've already completed our marriage vows," she said with a smile, watching her father to gauge his reaction.
