The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 998

Westville? Felix thought about what Barry had mentioned. The Xavier family's Battle for the Bride was happening in a few days.

"Are you going to Westville for the Xavier family's tournament, Madam Goddard?"

Deborah's expression turned strange. "So, you do have romantic interests! Here I thought your mind was filled with nothing but martial arts and alchemy. I didn't think you'd know about the tournament. You're not going to try your luck, are you?"

Felix rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed. "Stop teasing me."

Deborah laughed. "Janet Xavier isn't quite good enough for you, though her sister Nerissa is remarkable. Too bad she's already engaged, or I might have played the matchmaker."

Taking advantage of the opening, Felix quickly asked, "Really? Do you think highly of Nerissa as well, Madam Goddard?"

Deborah nodded. "Of course! That woman has strong principles and excellent character. Among the Top Ten Menaces, she's one of the few who meet my standards. Whoever that mysterious fiancé is, he's quite lucky."

Felix found it interesting that even Deborah thought so highly of Nerissa. His instincts had not been wrong. "Then, I'll join you tomorrow, Madam Goddard. It'll be good to lift my spirits."
