Chapter 112
Dark Sky Village
“Marry her?!”
I was genuinely taken aback by the thunderous declaration that struck me like a bolt from the blue. It’s not like every father with a daughter was a total softy who was overly attached, right? Seo Mun-hye was blushing but looking pleased, while Miho just stared disinterestedly. Struggling to regain my composure, I managed to say,
“I’m sorry, but… I have no intention of doing that.”
“Why?”
That simple retort was surprisingly difficult to answer.
‘Why, you ask? What kind of “why” is that?’
Why was I rejecting a proposal to marry the most exceptional lady of the Shadowless Gate? Fumbling for an adequate response, I feared that a wrong answer might anger a top-tier master of the martial arts and potentially lead to my untimely demise. The fear of death loomed over me. Still, I managed to fight through my anxiety and answered calmly.
“I have things to do, and I’m not particularly close to Seo Mun-hye. We don’t know each other that well. Rushing into a marriage under such circumstances would only lead to misfortune for everyone involved.”
