The two elders looked at Severin's appearance, which belied his considerable level of attainment. After all, he was the one controlling the flying sword. By their estimation, Severin had reached the attainment level of a warrior emperor.
Before Sofia could say anything, Sheila was one step ahead of her in introducing Severin. "He is Severin Feuillet, husband to Miss Sofia. You could consider him your nephew-in-law. I'm Sheila, his second wife. This is his first wife, Diane, and this is his apprentice, Elsa..."
"Nephew-in-law? Miss Sofia's husband?" The two elders were so taken aback that they began to question their hearing.
Several seconds passed before Wyatt finally reacted. He turned to Sheila and said, "Are you playing a prank on us? Our eldest lady has never mentioned a boyfriend before, and now you're saying that she has a husband?"
Jeanluc chimed in and said, "This isn't a joking matter, young lady. You might be in for some serious trouble if her father were to learn of this."
To their surprise, Sofia covered her mouth and giggled. She later said to them, "She's telling the truth, you guys. He is my husband. I've returned so I can introduce him to Dad."
Under the two elders' astonished gazes, he said, "My father has known about Severin and me for quite some time. He probably just never mentioned it to you."
"Goodness me! You have a husband?" Jeanluc exclaimed in disbelief.
Wyatt was also taken aback. "Couldn't you have chosen one of the many talented young men in this sect? Is he the son of another secluded sect's master? Or a distinguished scion of a secluded sect?"
