Chapter 639 Why Now?
Chapter 639 Why Now?
Reva couldn\'t help but have her icy face soften subtly upon hearing his sweet words, though she knew what he was trying to do. Still, which woman wouldn\'t like to hear such words from their man?
Damien then remembered something as he leaned forward to whisper something in her ears, making Reva\'s eyes blink incessantly.
She couldn\'t believe what Damien had just said to her. Her glimmering blue eyes slowly looked at his face in an endearing way as she asked in a low voice, "Do you really mean that? At this time?"
Damien slowly nodded with a soft smile as he cupped her face, "I know…right now is not the best time for this, especially when our enemies are still alive and regrouping. But…at the same time, don\'t you think this will be a source of strength for us? Our marriage can only do good things for us. But nevertheless, we will still hold a grand event to mark our marriage when all this is over. Ha…I am getting ahead of myself here when I didn\'t even hear your answer yet. So I will ask again…Will you marry me? But even if you said no…I will marry you anyway," Damien said with a teasing smile.
Reva firmly pressed together her lips as she felt her heart hammering in her chest. In her life, she always hated the concept of marriage since princesses like her were usually wed off to strangers who they might not even like. However, as she grew up, Ruthren surprisingly never discussed her marriage, making her always wonder why such a cruel man wouldn\'t take advantage of his daughter to gain more power. He couldn\'t possibly have been considerate about such an important matter.
Only when she learned the truth from Yohr did she realize that Ruthren and Yohr were raising her like a pig for slaughter.
Nevertheless, never in her dreams did she think that she would have the desire to marry…until she met this charming and domineering man before her.
The more she became intimate and closer to him in body and heart, the more she never wanted to leave this side. Now, she was more curious than ever about marriage. And seeing how he had the bad tendency to go running off to dangerous situations on his own, she felt that there was only one way to make sure that he would stay beside her.
Reva hid her face by planting her face on his chest as she said in a feathery voice, "If you already made up your mind to marry me, why do you ask? Just…do it already…" Reva\'s face turned a beautiful shade of red despite saying such confident words. She could feel a fluttering in her stomach and a feeling of fulfillment in her heart, wishing that she could freeze this moment for a little while.
Damien couldn\'t help but feel the same sensation as he lifted her face by her chin before lowering his head to kiss and suck her juicy red lips.
"Mmnn~..." Reva closed her eyes as she embraced his kiss with her lips and began to share a hot intimate moment with him, conveying how happy she was at this moment.
Damien hugged her tight as he enjoyed the feeling of her supple body pressing against his. Reva was the most voluptuous woman among the others. Despite being 21 years old, her body gave off a tempting mature charm, and Damien\'s sword was already getting bigger and poking her sacred region, making Reva let out a soft whimper.
Damien decided to hold back for now since he still had to discuss some details and broke the kiss before asking, "So…we have been thinking of holding a quick marriage ceremony here itself before regrouping with the others. What do you think?"
Reva\'s expression became a bit hesitant, and after a few moments of silence, she asked, "What if…we held our marriage on the other island where my grandparents and the rest of the Forsaken are present?"
Damien was surprised as he asked in a tone of confusion, "You want the marriage ceremony to be held before everybody? But your identity…"
Damien had no problems in marrying with the Forsaken including Reva\'s grandparents as the audience. But other than her grandparents and a select few, the rest of Forsaken has no idea that Triton was Reva in disguise.
That was why he never thought to hold a marriage in front of them.
"That is what I was about to tell you. While you were gone, I held a meeting with my people and…I told them everything," Reva said with a fixed gaze while wondering about Damien\'s opinion on it.
"Everything? You mean you revealed your true identity and even told them the truth about the god they had been worshiping all this while?" Damien knew Irene wanted to do this before, but she held off since she didn\'t want to dump more bad news on them at this time. Thus, he found it surprising that Reva suddenly went ahead and did it.
Reva sighed as she nodded, "Yes. As expected, they didn\'t take well to the news, and in fact, they found it hard to believe. But I swore on my ancestors and told them about myself…about how I was being raised to be a vessel for Yohr to take over and why I received so many benefits from him."
Damien caressed her head as he said, "That must have been hard for you…to tell these things in the open."
"It\'s fine. This was the only way to convince them and break thousands of years of belief and faith. Besides, with everything that had happened, even they could put two and two together and realize that what I told them was the bare truth, even if it was a cruel one. Just like me, they must have had their hearts broken upon realizing that their divine protector was actually killing their family and friends and exploiting them for his own selfish needs," Reva said as her eyes became even colder, feeling resentment for Yohr even though he was long gone.
"But…why did you suddenly decide to do this now instead of waiting as your grandmother said?"
