New law of Beast Taming

The divine guild took over the Official Protected and endangered beast council meeting and its members could only swallow their complaints as they watched it happen.

Even those who had ambitions could only fold their claws and wait for a chance to strike back.

"Helios, do a good job of taking care of this place. I will be leaving all the responsibilities of this place to you."

Everyone watched as the divine leader, Charlie Suzuki handed the control of the council over to her son. Those who had complained swallowed them and clapped for Helios.

Helios was someone who had the clearest reputation among the Divine guild after the guild master herself. So, no one could say anything bad about him either.

"I promise to do my best to make this council more successful. I hope the people will offer me their support in return."

Helios's speech continued and it broke many people's ambitions.

The one who was left speechless the most was Elder Clent. He had spent years forging relationships with Chairman Frank and planting his members in the council. All he wanted was for his grandson to become the chairman, but it all failed.

"Don't worry grandson. You will get your chance to reign over everyone soon. I will see how long that kid would be able to hold on to his throne."

Elder Clent was already planning to take over the council somehow. He had a lot of plans in place and he also had his trump card.

"But grandfather, where is sis Bambi? I don't want to take the council head's seat if it makes her sad."

Elder Clent looked at his grandson with a look of disgust and disbelief. He could not believe that such an indecisive person had been born in his bloodline.

His grandson was weak, but he was the only man to possess his direct bloodline. So, he would shape his grandson to be his successor no matter what.

"Forget your sister. From today onwards, Bambi is no longer your sister or a part of our household. She does not have anything to do with us."

Elder Clent made this very clear to his grandson. He watched as panic surged in his grandson's eyes and he tried to break free from the tight hold Elder Clent had on his arm.

But Elder Clent did not give up his control. Instead, he tightened his fist around that arm and held on tight.

"Stop moving and thrashing kid. You will listen to me."

He threatened, not even noticing how everyone else was looking at him.

"Looks like someone abuses the kids in their family without any reason. No wonder my fiancé wanted to run away from her family and came to me for protection. It turned out you were not kind to her at all."

Elder Clent stopped what he was doing in the middle and looked at Yoko Tsurugi's smug face. He also noticed how everyone else was looking at him as well.

His grandson was shaking in his place while looking up at him with a terrified look on his face.

*Cough*

"My grandson is too tired to continue today. We shall take our leave now."

Elder Clent picked up the small child he had brought with him, but the kid resisted. He reached out toward Bambi with his small arms.

"S-Sister, help me. I don't want to be the family head. I want to stay with you."

Everyone heard the kid speak and Elder Clent could do nothing but get angry.

"You don't know what you are saying, kid. Being family head is the biggest honor you can have in your life. Once you get old enough to understand, you will surely change your mind about this."

Elder Clent assured the kid in his arms but his grandson was insistent.

"No, I will not regret it. I want to be with my sister no matter what. L-Let me go."

The kid struggled in his grandfather's grasp until he was let down. Then, he instantly rushed toward Bambi and burrowed himself into her arms.

"Sister, you will stay with me, right?"

The child asked in front of everyone. They all looked at Elder Clent for his decision and he had to clench his fist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Fine, our sister can come back to the family. She can even be the next family head. Are you happy now?"

Elder Clent was not going to keep his word. In a matter of days, everyone would forget about what happened here and they would go back to their matters.

Then, Elder Clent could have Bambi secretly killed off and hold a funeral. It would be the best course of action he could take.

"I don't believe you Elder Clent. People like you do not easily change your mind about things. The fact that you decided to change your mind so easily worries me a lot. So how about we make things a little more official?"

Elder Clent had not hated anyone in his life as much as he was coming to hate Yoko Tsurugi.

Just when he thought he had gotten rid of her, she managed to spring back like a cockroach.

"I don't need to hear any words from the one who killed off Chairman Frank. You are the least qualified one to speak on anything."

Elder Clent's words were loud and clear. But they did not affect Yoko Tsurugi.

"Elder Clent, be careful about what you speak. You are accusing me of something I did not do. All I did was liberate a dangerous beast and sent it back to its wild habitat. Whatever happened after that was not my fault. Don't the guards agree?"

The guards were still not clear about what happened but they did remember who Yoko had tried to save the previous Chairman (given the orders).

Plus, they were also afraid of her powers and her potential so they did not want to go against her.

"Y-Yoko Tsurugi is right. She did nothing wrong."

The guards were quick to take her side.

"I hope you are not accusing my *dear* friend of something she did not do, Elder Clent. You would not want to make an enemy out of the divine guild, right?"

The elder clenched his fist as soon as he heard the divine leader speak. She was one person he did not want to get on the bad side of.

"Of course not. Yoko Tsurugi did help a lot. But still, she should have told us she found… never mind."

Elder Clent quickly buried his sentence before he could finish speaking it. He did not want to hurt himself by speaking nonsense again.

"Hmm, and about that contract we spoke of. Shall we get it sighed now? We should not delay our contract any longer."

Elder Clent was targeted from all sides. He could only sigh and sign the contract he was presented with.

He looked up at Yoko Tsurugi with hate-filled eyes but she refused to feel intimidated by him.

"Thank you for your assistance. You are free to leave this place now."

Elder Clent felt humiliated but he did not want to stay in this setting any longer. He needed to gather his wits and regroup his thoughts.

"Well, that went well. I guess it's safe for us to break off our engagement now that you are free, Bambi."

Everyone looked at Yoko Tsurugi with a look of understanding. They all had guessed that this marriage arrangement had not been normal since the beginning.

Now it made sense why both sides had agreed to keep this arrangement.

Bambi looked at Yoko and she noticed how people behaved around her. She was not surprised to see even the divine leader be in love with Yoko. somehow, she just seemed like the kind of person to make everyone like her regardless of rhyme and reason.

'I don't stand a chance here. I guess it will be better for me to give up now than to get hurt later. But I can still mess with everyone, right?'

"Hmm, I don't know Yoko. Should we break off our engagement? I know we got engaged because of personal benefits, but I like you now. How about we continue this engagement…"

"Absolutely not. No way is this happening. First, Yoko is too young to get married. And, she needs someone who can be by her side and support our family. Having another family head as her partner is out of the question."

Sakura refuted Bambi with facts and logic but Bambi only smiled back again.

"In that case, my younger brother can be our family head. I don't need this title if I can be with Yoko and…"

"That will be enough. I don't think this discussion needs to go any further. I would rather have your two households as separate units for now. And it's not like you both are in love with each other…."

Charlie began to say but she was cut off by Bambi.

"Yoko is not but I am certainly in love with her. So, allow me a chance to court you, Yoko Tsurugi."
