It was a 1.2 meter long and about 6 cm width package, that was wrapped in a piece of red cloth. Without any hesitation she then unwrapped the item, uncovering a sword, which was in a scabbard. As such only the hilt was visible. It was of a plain design, as it was completely black with only a golden spiral winding around the grip. Ivan wasn't sure what it was made out of, since it surely wasn't iron or a simple steel.
"This looks like a good sword, but how did you get the idea to gift him a sword?"
"This was actually quite easy. The prophecy said that the gift had to include a weapon and when we were fighting on stage, I saw that he was using a simple iron sword. So I asked uncle about it and he told me that it was the only one he could afford. That's why I took out one of the swords from grandpas collection."
When Jenny heard, what her nice said she threw a accusing look towards her husband. "You knew about this?"
Carl hastily shook his head, "No, no. She only asked me about the sword Ivan used. I thought it was because of something that happend during their fight. I never would have thought that this would lead to her gifting him a sword."
Seeing him defend himself like this Ivan had to hold back his laughter. Most of the time his mentor seemed to be domineering. But seeing him like this he realized that Jenny was the real boss and his mentor could only obey her.
"Wait, you took it out of your grandpas collection?"
"Yes. Is there a problem with that?"
"A problem?", Jenny nearly screamed. "Don't you know how much dad cherishes his sword collection? He didn't even let Carl touch any of these swords. And he is after all his son in law. And now you took one and gifted it away?"
She knew that her dad liked to spoil his granddaughter, but she was sure that it wasn't to the extend of him allowing her to take something out of his collection and gift it to someone, who strictly speaking had no relationship with their family.
"Oh, I kinda forgot about it.", said Lin, without showing even the least bit of embarrassment. Ivan was sure that she neither forgot about it, nor did she care about it. After seeing her interact with her aunt he had understood, that her personality was quite different than his first impression of her.
Although she had a ice cold face, which barely showed any expression, while communicating with her family, there wasn't any cold feeling. Instead there was a warmth, he hadn't seen before, and which made him slightly envious. Even though he had Jane, which whom he too had a blood connection, they couldn't interact the same way, these two did. They had only met a short time ago, so there was still some distance between them and Lara's attitude towards him didn't help.
"You! Whatever, but I really want to see what dad is going to do to you if he finds out."
She then laid the sword onto the table. "It would be better if you don't accept this until dad has voiced his opinion. After all we don't want him not torture you, because you laid your hands onto one of his valued swords."
Hearing this Ivan could only nod. He didn't know how obsessed the Grand Elder was with his sword collection, but judging by Jenny's reaction it should be a lot. There was no way he would risk offending him, just for a sword.
Seeing Ivan being so understand, while showing no greed towards the sword, Jenny felt very satisfied with the student her husband had picked up. Maybe she should ask him to take him as an official disciple. Because then he would be like their son and she would be able to spoil him however she wanted. She had long since wished to have a child, but because of something that had happened during one of their adventures, all of them had become infertile and until now they hadn't found a way to cure the problem.
Determined to talk about it later, when the guests were gone, she moved back her focus towards the chest. There was only one item left, which was a black folder. When she pulled it out, she saw out of the corner of her eye, that her niece had become fidgety. Seeing this she knew that there was something up with the content of the folder.
"Girl, do you want to tell me something before I open this folder?"
Lin hesitated for a bit, before saying, "Um, just that this is only in there because of the prophecy."
These words didn't make Jenny happy, but instead gave her a dark foreboding. There surely wasn't something good in it, or her little niece wouldn't have reacted this way. With a apprehensive feeling she then carefully opened the folder.
Inside there was only one document, which was made of the heavy thick paper, that was typically used for important official documents. She looked at it and then wordlessly put it down on the table. Her face completely expressionless, something Ivan hadn't seen before, she then looked at her niece, waiting for her to explain.
Seeing her weird behavior the others tried to check out the document, but Jenny shot them a glare, stopping them from satisfying their curiosity.
"I am waiting.", she then told her niece in a voice, devoid of any emotion, which made it only scarier, than if there was anger in it.
Lin tried to play stupid, but under the stare of her aunt she finally cracked. "I told you that this is in it because of the prophecy.", she tried to defend herself, fully knowing that there was no way that her aunt would accept it.
"Oh, so it is only because of the prophecy.", she then paused before shouting at her, "Are you f**king stupid? Just because of some stupid prophecy you are willing to sign something like this? Don't you know how important a marriage is?"
