Rise of The Fallen Son-in-law Vol. 2

Chapter 42

Dean remained silent, his thoughts whirling as he pondered his own fate. He had never meant to offend the sun goddess, but he knew that his words had been rash and disrespectful. Now, he had to face the possibility of being punished for his actions, and he wasn't sure what that punishment might entail.

In the silence of the castle, it was the sound of Dean's heart pounding that was the loudest. He looked around, his eyes darting from one person to the next, wondering who might speak up first. But no one did. The tension was thick, and no one wanted to be the one to break it.

Aviva's smile was tinged with sadness as she greeted the group, her eyes betraying the turmoil she felt inside. Markus, ever the gentleman, approached her with a warm handshake, his welcoming demeanor a much-needed comfort in that moment.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," he said, his voice full of sincerity. Aviva blushed, a bit flustered by his kindness. "The pleasure is all mine," she said, her voice a bit shaky.
