Chapter 88
"Luceria?!" Arsia, shocked by the ancient god's sudden appearance, is instantly on guard.
"Harold?! That's different from what we heard earlier?!!" Erina also displays a bewildered mood, but it's fleeting; she soon reveals an overt hostility.
"And what did Arsia just say?" Aris, mulling over Luceria's words, darkens in expression, "Definitely..."
"She said 'husband'..." The others catch the ominous mood, staring at me with an overwhelming intensity.
I can feel their hostility without even looking back. I shiver involuntarily and break into a cold sweat.
"Harold?"
"Did the ancient god just call you her husband?"
"Surely we didn't hear that wrong...?" They corner me with suspicion, hoping perhaps they misunderstood, but...
"It's not a mistake, Harold willingly agreed to become my partner in exchange for his wishes." Luceria's declaration escalates the tension, leading to an even worse scenario than I anticipated.
