It was a major event that he was rising to the position of the leader and it would be inappropriate for his daughter

leader!” Gilbert grinned confidently as though he already had Harold wrapped in the palm of his hand.

“I see! I will trust you one last time and if it turns out that you are lying to me, I’ll resent you for the rest of my life!”
Iris smiled gleefully, feeling relieved that her father did not betray her for his own gain.
