Chapter 134: Confessions
134- Confessions
So, the reason I called you here is related to your marriage. I just wanted to ask both of you, do you want to proceed with the marriage or not? Both of you should be honest as this is an important decision related to your life. And making a wrong choice can be harmful to both of you. I just want to know if you are happy to be tied with this marriage knot?
The surroundings went silent for few seconds,
Both Bertha and Sheela were watching us (Armelia and me), while Armelia kept her head low and not daring to look or answer anyone.
I dont understand whether she is hesitant about accepting the marriage or she is shy about it or something else.
If it was any normal time, I would never get involved in matters related to marriage but since I have promised two conditions to Sheela and Bertha each and am bound by Vishwa sakshi Oath, and since Sheela has used the first condition as a marriage between Armelia and I, then I have to accept the marriage.
It seems that Armelia doesnt know that this marriage is just a deal between Sheela and I, and by exposing it to Armelia would make things worse for me [Like Armelia might disagree with marriage]. Since the first condition has already been issued, so I just have to complete the first condition quickly.
Since Armelia is reluctant to answer, I took the lead in answering,
Of course, I dont have any problem. I am just waiting for the day of the marriage. But, Armelia if you have any problem with the marriage, then please tell me, I promise that even if you disagree with the marriage then our friendship will still remain because even if I love you, that doesnt mean I should ignore your happiness.
Just as I finished speaking, Armelia quickly replied,
NONONO... you have misunderstood me. I have no problem with the marriage and I am also looking forward to it, but I would like to ask you something. And promise me that you will honestly answer me.
I know where this is going...
Of course, I promise you.
Armelia took a deep breath and then spoke,
Did my mother put forward a condition where in exchange for the treatment, you have to marry me?
But luckily, I found I possess a special physique with innate strength, so I was barely able to defend myself in the forest and I stumbled upon some injured guy who after seeing me attacked and I managed to kill him. It was my first kill and I felt very awful. And when I was trying to find some food, the subordinates of the man whom I killed, came after me and I had to escape them from outer area to inner area.
After I reached the inner area, I hid and when they could not find me, they scattered around. So, I took the chance and killed a few of them. Coincidentally, one of the guards was fighting you and I ambushed him.
There I met you.
In the beginning, I did not want to help you, even if it was just a small task to escort you out of the forest, as I have already gone through so many betrayals and hardships that I could not even trust my shadow. But I dont know why I finally agreed to take you out of the forest.
When we were being chased by the [White Fang wolf and its pack], I jumped along with you from a waterfall, for that you accidentally hit me and I received internal injury. At that time, I felt that I was once again made mistake by trusting and helping you. And I was extremely angry at my stupidity.
But when you risked your life to get me the [Purple dome mushroom], that anger was all gone. And when I fainted because of the poison, you looked after me without any rest, I was touched. Maybe, it was only a small action from you or maybe you did it out from the guilt, but for me, that action was like a lit candle that brought small light, in a room full of darkness.
