NOVPUBChapter 325 -325 – Marriage Proposal
Seeing her serious look, my eyes become heavy.
‘She’s not joking, is she?’
I take a look at her again, accessing her wholly.
In reality, she wasn’t actually a bad candidate, she had a great body and she was the leading daughter that would become the leader of her own house.
Joining both of our houses would not only make me stronger, but it will also legitimize me, especially marrying a family known for its name at the battlefield.
If that wasn’t enough, there was also the fact about her being a member of the Pen Dragons gang as well.
Yes, Margaret Religias had a link with the Pen Dragons. Not only a link but she is a Sub-Leader, more like how I was with a position of becoming the real leader after some time.
Though I remember in the story that she rebelled against her leader after learning of how he was going to kill her and instead killed him and took his seat.
Like what happened with me and Kay Gon.
This gang part was both good and bad for me. Good being, there was a real chance of not only connecting with the Pen Dragon gang but with her becoming the leader in the future and me already one, we could join together and expand the gang in a new vision.
But the bad part was, me marrying her would could also bring trouble for our business. Not only that but it could also have trouble with the leadership and they might try to kill her much faster than the novel.
With that gone… there was that real factor. She is a villain. Not just a Villain but one of big consequence.
Because of her, Samantha’s life changes brutally and she makes choices that grows her character immensely. Marrying her could mean, I would have no choice but to throw the good towel and fight against Arthur and the ot-
“…”
‘Why am I even thinking about that anyway? I already am in cahoots with Abigail, who not only is a huge villain, but also the final boss of this kingdom.’
‘I don’t have any other choice but to fight against Arthur… just that marrying Margaret would mean I would have to do something in the future that wouldn’t be seen in a good light with Arthur and the others.’
‘Marrying her would mean, losing Samantha as well… not like she’s giving me any benefits. If I compare Samantha and Margaret, it’s easy to see that Margaret is the one to choose.’
‘Not only was she in the lead to become her family’s leader but she would also be the leader of Pen Dragons. If something problematic happens, I could help her out and make her the leader faster.’
‘And about the matter with Margaret fighting Samantha… siblings fight against each other anyway, it’s in their nature. Especially if your born in a noble family with the leadership position in line.’
‘All in all, the pros outweigh the cons with Margaret.’
After contemplating about all thinks, I look up and see that Margaret was quietly looking at me too. She was thinking like me but she was also giving me time to think about everything as well… even though she just kissed me, she’s giving me the choice to accept or deny this.
After a moment, I seriously look at her and ask, “Margaret, what do you expect from this marriage?”
Margaret blinked once before an answer formulated in her mind, “I expect a good marriage.”
“As like you, I also saw the benefits in this marriage and based mostly on that I believe this marriage would be good for both of us. We could have one or two children that would fulfill our requirements and help us build our family.”
“Added, if our sexual compatibility is good enough, we could not only have sex just for making children but also for pleasure as well. It would not only make our union happier but also make us tolerate each other for all the years to come.”
“And finally the matter with our gang.” She said, her face becoming a bit serious, “I’ve heard that you have taken the leadership state from Kay Gon, is that right?”
I nod, “Yes, some complications demanded I take action.”
“Hmm… then I would also have to change my plans.” Margaret thought, “If we join together, then with your help I could maybe do something that would change the leadership state in my gang as well and become the leader.”
I raise my brow, “You want to take the gang yourself.”
“Yes” She nodded without hesitation, “It’s not just because I like power, but it would also help us and the gang immensely if we were to step aside our differences and join together.”
“We could become something that nobody has ever done before.”
I join my hands together and smile, “Ambitious.”
She showed a smile too, this one real and filled with darkness as it twisted before me, “You are too. I saw you tweaking your brain earlier as well. I’m sure you had the same thoughts as me, maybe you even thought greater than me.”
That smile of hers would spring bells in anyone. But I saw a companion, a friend who could not only help me but join me in my ambitions.
An actual marriage partner.
“I’m not gonna lie about that, you are right. I am ambitious, I might be even more ambitious than you or anyone else for that matter.” I say, “That’s why I am taking in the Pro’s from this union and thinking about long term.”
“If you’re thinking about the pro’s, do you want me to list them out for you?”
She took my confused expression as confirmation and spoke, “First of all, unlike other wife’s who are nagging or too sticky, I won’t be like that. I would be equal and be understanding as I have the same situation as you.”
“Then comes my family. You already guessed it but let me phrase it out for you. You have a problematic family, even with you becoming a Viscount, you still have not really legitimized yourself.”
“Not in others eyes.” I say.
Margaret’s eyes glint, “By marrying me, you solve that problem. Especially when we start to have children.”
“And about children… I already looked into some specialist and they have confirmed me to be very fertile, so there won’t be any problem with children… unless you have any problems.”
“Don’t worry, I’m okay.”
She nodded, “I’ll believe you. Then there’s the matter with the gang. A problem at first, but after we smooth it out, we would only get gains from it.”
“So to sum it up, I only see a lot benefits with only few cons.”
She was right.
I was about to talk when she smiled, “And as an added bonus, you can take in other women as well.”
“Hm?” I look up at her, “Meaning?”
“Meaning, I would ignore any kind of side dishes you have… as long as I stay your main one.” Margaret smiled.
“You’re getting a beautiful wife, my biased opinion. Family Legitimacy, both gang benefits and finally a wife who won’t be angry at you for smelling like the wife, daughter or mother of one of your rich friends.”
“Now tell me, would you get such a great offer from anyone else?”
