Chapter 298 - 184 Maximus Gets Married_2
"Nexia reminded me correctly, I made a mistake when discussing today’s matchmaking event, I was only thinking of you all and forgot about myself. Now I’m correcting this mistake by including myself!" After saying this, he stepped into the venue.
The women cheered.
Nexia didn’t sit down and loudly declared, "Sisters, I’ve decided to choose Leader Maximus as my husband and I hope to have your support! Sisters..."
Nexia is one of the few female leaders in the rebel army, but unlike Acronis and Karina, as the head nurse of the medical camp, she has helped many women eliminate their illnesses. She has always been kind to people and sociable, earning a good impression among the women.
At this moment, she announced her choice first. Many women immediately showed their support, dispelling the fantasies of some who were not as well-suited as her. Of course, a few watched with the thought, "If she fails, I’ll have a go."
Amidst the noise, Nexia boldly walked into the center. Yet when she saw Maximus gazing at her, her heart tightened with nerves, "Lea... Leader, I... I wish to become your wife. Do... do... do you agree?"
Maximus looked calmly at the woman before him, though his mind was abuzz: Nexia, born in Greece, should be close in age to me. Her family’s business went bankrupt, leading her to become a slave, and she was sold to Italy, becoming a female slave on a large farm in Campania, often abused by the overseer... truly a woman with a hard life!
Among all the women in the tribe, Nexia’s looks and figure are quite good, her abilities are commendable, and she can read and write... Now, as Maximus recalls: every time he interacted with Nexia, she would express her affection for him, albeit subtly. At the time, he was solely focused on escaping the grasp of the Romans and not considering anything else. Now, since he had to choose a wife, it seemed unnecessary to stand around wasting time like a fool. The talented and affectionate Nexia was undisputedly the best choice being presented to him.
Maximus nodded and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to choose you as my wife!"
Maximus’s words were like music to Nexia’s ears, so beautiful that she could hardly believe her bold proposal had succeeded. It wasn’t until Maximus reached out and held her hand that a smile blossomed on her face, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes...
