Chapter 157: An Orc Instead of an Ogre (1)
When Keter said he was married, Taragon burst out laughing.
“Come on, that’s a joke, right? You don’t seem married at all.”
The others chimed in, denying Keter’s claim.
“Maybe he means it like how our archery instructors say to treat your bow like a lover. Perhaps Lord Keter is saying he married his bow?”
“Keter, I was the first one you sought out after joining our family. If I remember correctly, you weren’t wearing a ring back then. And even now, you’re not. If you were married, there would at least be a mark on your left ring finger, but you don’t have one.”
“If you had a spouse, I would expect you to have brought them to Sefira. You’re not the type to abandon family.”
Keter, who had been lying down, sat up and hesitated.
“Hm...”
“Oh, what is it?! Was that a lie or not? I mean, yeah, you don’t have to be an adult to get married, but it’s still strange, Keter!” Taragon shouted.
“If you really are married and have a spouse, it’s a serious matter. You should bring them to Sefira as soon as possible. Even if it’s a lot of pressure, we still need to know,” Anis added.
Though Katherine and Myle didn’t press him verbally, their gaze bore into him, clearly demanding answers.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to say anything. I was just thinking.”
