Death… And Me

Chapter 398 - No Child!

Meanwhile, Droman was trying to wrap his head around the situation in front of him. Well, both Rean and Qia were having the same problem. Just a moment ago, Qia was convincing her Master that she would resolve the misunderstanding about her relation with Rean. How come it turned into a demand for marriage all of a sudden?

Rean had indeed said all of that. But in the end, he was just trying to get back at Qia for the boyfriend thing. Still, by looking at the surprised expression on Qia's face, it was evident that she was also oblivious to this situation.

Droman then tried to calm down before saying.

"Ahem... Fellow... Errr... How should I call you?"

"You can call me Tulia."

Droman nodded.

"Lady Tulia, can you explain what is happening here?"

Tulia nodded before talking about everything that happened in the Tea Shop. Droman, of course, was taken aback when he heard that as he looked at Rean.

"Did you really do it with that girl? Wait, when did you have time for that?"

It was then that he remembered the night Rean asked to go out.

"Ah! You told me that you were going back to cultivate with your brother. I found it strange since it wouldn't be wise to waste the repository's time with it. Still, you were quite adamant, saying that you didn't want to slack in any field. So that's what's happening. You went out to see this girl! Not only that but you also... also... put your seed in her!"

Rean almost vomited blood!

'Seed? What seed? My seed hasn't been used yet, okay?! Even in my entire previous life, my seed stayed as unused as it is today!'

[Hahahaha! Why don't you just go with the flow? It's not like having a princess of the Empire as a wife would be a bad thing. If Calina succeeds in conquering Roan, both brothers would be part of the Royal Family! Isn't that perfect?]

It was then that Tulia narrowed her eyes.

"Qia, now that I think about it, you also decided to go back to the Palace earlier than normal. So that was the day when you lost your hymen, huh?"

Qia wanted to shout.

'My hymen is still here! If I could, I would even show it to you all!'

Of course, she couldn't do such a thing with so many people watching. Sure enough, Droman and Tulia's group weren't the only ones present in the repository. With the next exam so close, it was obviously packed with Formations Masters.

"Unbelievable... That boy dared to put his hand on a princess of the Empire."

"Can't you see? He's the direct disciple of the guy who invented the Communication Formation. The Imperial Family would love such a marriage."

"Indeed. Otherwise, do you think Tulia would come here and demand marriage?"

"I know, right? Considering the Imperial Family's strictness, she would have cut that boy's head once he went out. Considering that she is asking for his hand in marriage, it means they have a lot to gain."

"So, it won't be long before one more princess is married off. Well, it's quite a common thing in the Imperial Family, so I can quite understand."

Rean and Qia felt like they were falling deeper and deeper into the abyss. Even the people around them were already considering them as a married couple.

"Ahem... Senior Tulia. Qia and I were just joking when we said that in the tea shop. Right, Qia?"

Qia immediately came back to herself and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes! First of all, we had never met outside before. Sure, I left earlier that day, but I was simply tired."

The fact was that Qia indeed asked for an early leave from her Master on the same day Rean left to capture Tissan. It's just that instead of going back to the Palace, she went to one of the tea shops she liked the most in the Core Region.

Droman was taken aback as he looked at Rean and Qia suspiciously.

"You two seem quite synced with your words. Rean, can you prove that you were really just cultivating that day? Oh! We can ask your brother!"

Rean almost fainted. If Roan really heard about what was happening to him, he would DEFINITELY say that he didn't see Rean at all. Why? Because Rean would have done the same thing to him, obviously. Nothing entertained the twins more than pulling each others' legs in the worst moments!

"This... I think my brother is not at home at the moment."

Droman was more and more sure that Rean had really done it.

"Since that's the case, let me confirm it with young lady Qia. After all, Princess Qia is known by everyone. Sure, the palace guards or other people can confirm that she was somewhere else that night, right? Right?!"

Rean then looked at Qia as if he was pledging to her.

However, Qia's face went red before suddenly turning purple.

"I..."

Qia was a princess of the Empire. Not only that, but she was also the granddaughter of the fifth prince, so everyone recognized her. Because of that, she often disguised herself when she wanted to leave alone. Almost no one knew about it either, including her Master. Unfortunately, that also killed her alibi. After all, no one would remember to have seen her during that time.

Tulia only wanted to force this marriage to get a good relationship with the Dalamu Sect, especially Droman. She was sure that the Fifth Prince would love to know that his granddaughter got such a good deal. However, she still believed that Qia hasn't done anything with Rean... or so she thought. However, after seeing Qia's face when she was asked that question, she began to think that perhaps Qia and Rean had really gone that far.

"Ahem... Do you know anyone who can prove that you weren't with Rean that night?"

Qia suddenly went silent, much for Rean's despair!

Seeing that scene, both Droman and Tulia looked at each other with awkward expressions.

"It seems like their joke wasn't really a joke. Do you agree with me?"

Droman nodded.

"I do. It's way too suspicious that the two of them just so happened to disappear at the same time."

Rean then gritted his teeth and shouted what Qia couldn't do.

"There is a way to prove that we didn't have anything. Just bring two representatives of each side and check her hymen! She should still be a virgin!"

Qia felt like breaking Rean's neck for shouting such embarrassing words in front of everyone. It was one thing for her Master to touch that topic since she was a woman, but it looked much worse when Rean did that. However, she had to admit that their only escaping route now was to prove that she was still a virgin.

Rean told her that he could even restore a woman's hymen if he wanted to. However, there will be no need for him to use that as a threat anymore since they didn't want to go ahead with this marriage thing. In the end, they could prove that nothing happened. However...

*Pah!*

Droman suddenly slapped the back of Rean's head.

"How could you ask such a thing from a princess of the Empire? Are you looking to die? First of all, don't forget that I know your healing abilities very well. Even a recently torn hymen wouldn't be anything hard for you to fix."

Rean was already crying.

'Why do you have to open your mouth at this point? Couldn't you just stay quiet?'

Those words initiated another uproar, though.

"What?! He can repair a woman's hymen?!"

"Holy shit! Just wait until a few certain people hear that."

"That boy will make a fortune!"

Rean wanted nothing more than to break those people's heads. Who would work as a hymen restorer? He didn't need that type of money at all! No, first of all, he didn't even want it in the first place!

Tulia nodded, satisfied.

"Rean and Qia seem quite unwilling to go ahead with it. However, they should have thought about it before doing the deed. Now it's too late. I'll go ahead and talk with Qia's parents. Droman, do you have any objections?"

Droman immediately shook his head. Are you kidding? Even if that was a rumor, that was the Imperial Family they were talking about. Besides, deep inside, he was jumping in happiness. His disciple's marriage with the Imperial Family would bring a ton of benefits to him and the Dalamu Sect. Why would he do such a thing as refusing that?

"None. Rean, a man should bear the consequences. Now that you have done it, you have to take it to the end."

"But we really didn't do anything!"

Qia agreed with Rean.

"Yes! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Tulia narrowed her eyes.

"You still dare to deny? Who the hell would kiss each other in front of everyone, say that one is her boyfriend while the other is his woman, just to go back on their words later? Are you taking Droman and me for fools?"

Droman nodded.

"Enough with it already. Lady Tulia, I'll bother you to prepare the arrangements."

Tulia smiled.

"No problem. I hope Sir Droman will also do the same on your side."

It was then that an idea popped into Rean's mind.

"Wait!"

Tulia and Droman narrowed their eyes as they looked at him.

"What now?"

Rean ignored it and then explained.

"Ahem... The Formation Master Guild exam is just around the corner. Both me and Qia can't think about marriage at the moment. Let's at least wait until it is over."

Qia's eyes lit up after hearing that.

"Right, Master! I also want to focus on the exam so that I can get a slot. Rean and I only denied our relationship because we wanted to focus. After the exam is over, we can take our time to talk about it."

"This..."

Droman and Tulia had to admit that their words made sense.

"What do you think, Droman?"

Droman pondered a bit before nodding.

"I think it's a good idea. In any case, those two had finally confirmed that they are in a relationship. I can also understand why they wanted to hide it. After all, I'm pretty confident in Rean's ability to pass the exam. We should indeed not put more burden on them before the exam is over."

Tulia sighed but agreed with the idea. After all, she also put a lot of effort into Qia so she could pass the exam.

"Very well. Then, I'll see you again after the exam, Sir Droman."

Droman agreed with Tulia.

"I'm looking forward to it. Make sure to treat lady Qia well since she might be carrying Rean's child."

Qia and Rean almost fainted from those words. When will they understand that there's no child!!!
