Chapter 162 Decision
"Is there something, Miss Rin?" asked Princess Yasmin. "If you have come to challenge me, I'm afraid there is no chance for me."
"Of course, no..." Rin laughed.
"I am here as a messenger," she said.
"Messenger?" Rin's words were so surprising that even Yasmin raised her eyebrows.
The question was who could make a woman like Rin send a message?
The Ice Goddess?
It seemed that the Goddess would not ask Rin to send a message to a junior either.
Plus, it was impossible for the Ice Goddess to send a message to a junior.
"You know, I have a little brother, who I'm sure you've heard of, the Ice Prince," Rin continued.
"I'm here as a messenger for him because he wants to propose to you to be his wife. If you are willing, we can have the wedding ceremony immediately. Don't worry about the dowry, I'll make sure we give you more than you ask for."
Rin's voice echoed through the field, making every mouth open in surprise.
The locals looked at each other strangely before discussing in rapid voices.
"The Ice Prince wants to propose to Princess Yasmin, what do you think?"
"This is interesting, will Princess Yasmin accept hin?"
"It's hard to say, but indeed the Ice Prince has many advantages. He is supported by two Supreme Gods, and I heard he has a very handsome face."
"But I heard he's only a Spiritual King?"
"Well, that's the thing, Princess Yasmin must also look at strengths other than background and appearance."
People then looked at the woman, wanting to see her reaction even though all they could see were her eyes and forehead.
At the moment, she seemed frozen, clearly shocked as well.
Rin did not wait for her to recover from her shock, she said again, "so what do you think? Are you willing?"
Rin's two questions restored Princess Yasmin's expression.
She then replied, "please give me time to discuss!"
"Wow!" Princess Yasmin's answer created more excitement as it practically stated that she was considering the Ice Prince's proposal.
Rin smiled at that and nodded.
"Well, we'll wait for you," she said.
She disappeared after saying that.
Princess Yasmin, on the other hand, flew into the air and then towards a certain area of the city.
There was a luxurious desert-style mansion with a large courtyard.
It was surrounded by a magnificent wall, and guarded by desert warriors.
Of course, it was the residence of Princess Yasmin.
Rumor has it that some Demigods from the Eternal Desert Continent live there to support Yasmin.
Princess Yasmin landed in front of the mansion before walking into it.
Apparently the people inside were already because they were also watching, so when Princess Yasmin came, they appeared one by one.
Most of them were over 40 years old, consisting of both men and women.
"Yasmin, you came to discuss, does that mean you are interested in the Ice Prince?" asked one of them, a woman wearing a long white dress, having long black hair that reached her thighs.
She was the most conspicuous among them because besides her aura being the deepest, she was also the most beautiful.
"Aunt Hala, I won't argue with that. I've seen pictures of him, I think I'm comfortable with his looks. What is most important to me is his background, no one has a stronger background than him in the Realm of Life," Yasmin replied in a calm tone.
It's a deeply embedded culture and it's only right for a woman from this continent to speak about the men who propose to them honestly.
Yasmin lives with that culture, so she won't be the same as women from elsewhere.
"Then what do you think of his cultivation?" asked Hala, reminding Yasmin that Ciel was not strong as an individual.
"If you marry a man who is much weaker than you, you might not be able to respect him sincerely. A woman who does not honor her husband after receiving a dowry and tying the holy knot is a despicable woman."
This is also the culture of women on this continent. When married, they will regard their husbands as leaders whom they must respect and obey.
None of them should act as if they are superior.
Although it does seem like there is gender inequality, but they did not agree to that from the beginning.
No matter how great they are and how rebellious their minds are, they will still assume that men are the leaders.
Hala's question made Yasmin pause for a while before she answered, "I have no problem having a weaker husband as long as he can show the attitude of a leader. As far as I know, the Ice Prince has always been able to make everyone obey him. And I don't think that he will be weak forever."
Yasmin's last words made the others narrow their eyes as they recalled the news about Ciel getting the treasure from the Mountain King.
Actually, Ciel was now watching them as he wanted to see what they were discussing.
Yasmin's words were enough to make him shocked. The woman had never even met him in person, only seen his image out of nowhere, but she had such an opinion.
This confirmed that she had no objection to marrying him.
Hala nodded after hearing Yasmin's answer and said, "since it's your decision, then I will support you, after all, you should be married at your age now. After this, I will meet the Ice Palace people and tell them that you accepted the Ice Prince's proposal. However, when do you want to hold the wedding."
"Tomorrow is fine too," Yasmin replied.
Here, when a decision has already been made, the sooner it is done the better, slowing down is not considered a good action as it shows hesitation and could cause the marriage to fail.
"Okay!" Hala then looked at the others.
"Tonight, prepare the ceremonial immediately," she told them.
Only, right after she said that, there was suddenly a voice echoing from outside.
"I am the messenger of the Divine Light Young Master, come to deliver the message of the young master who wants to marry Princess Yasmin," said the voice.
