Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 115: Chapter115-The Most Lavish Dowry in History



"I want you!"

The cool and slightly enchanting voice echoed throughout the small courtyard as petals danced in the sky like a bewitching scene.

A few petals drifted down and landed in front of Leslie.

It was a beautiful sight, yet it couldn't sway her gaze in the slightest.

Perhaps, at that moment, nothing in the world could make her look away.

She was intently watching Owen!

She believed she was showing her greatest sincerity!

Owen looked at Leslie, those three simple words echoing in his ears, making his heart tremble!

His mind was a blur, like a muddle of confusion, unable to think clearly.

Owen's heart was in utter chaos. He rubbed his brow and spoke with exasperation, "What... what do you mean by this?"

This was the first time he, a grown man, had been so openly confessed to by a girl...

No, this shouldn't even be called a confession! "I like you," that's a confession.

"I love you," that's expressing love.

"I want you," what does that mean?

How was he supposed to respond to that?

Leslie, hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you we needed to redefine our partnership?"

So what?

Owen didn't quite understand how what Leslie said was related to what she did today.

"What I mean is that our partnership should no longer be just a simple partnership."

"It should be upgraded to us being life partners, supporting each other and moving forward together."

"Don't you think we make a great team?"

Leslie smiled as she explained to Owen.

Put it... more simply!

Owen looked at Leslie's stunning and coldly elegant face, his brain seemingly crashing...

Um...

Leslie thought for a moment and then said seriously, "Simply put: marriage!"

Hearing this, Owen was taken aback... thinking, well, that was straightforward and direct!

Just as he was about to speak, Leslie continued, "Before I met you, I always thought that marriage was too pointless."

"It had no meaning; it felt like a child's game of playing house, which held no interest for me."

"But after meeting you, Owen, I realized it might not be so meaningless after all. It could actually be quite interesting."

At this, Leslie laughed, a very happy laugh...

Even the sight of flowers blooming for miles was far less enchanting than she was at that moment.

Hearing this, Owen nodded...

He could tell that Leslie was speaking from the heart.

Actually, the reason he was so flustered earlier wasn't that he didn't understand; he just hadn't fully processed it!

After all, in the original story, Leslie was known for scheming against the world and being ruthlessly cold!

She didn't differentiate between genders...

She flattened the Three Realms from the Azure Kingdom, pushing her way up to the Ninth Heaven!

Anyone who dared to stand in her way would die, with no exceptions!

It was precisely because of her unparalleled ruthlessness combined with her stunning beauty that made her irresistibly captivating.

Even though Owen had designed her character, he was once captivated by her charm!

"So what was that bit earlier about?" Owen asked awkwardly, rubbing his nose.

She had just let him choose cities, and he had misunderstood her intentions and actually picked some...

Now thinking back, he felt a bit embarrassed!

"I heard that when men and women get married, the bride is supposed to bring a dowry or something."

Leslie looked at Owen earnestly as she spoke.

I see!!

Owen finally understood everything...

When she asked him to choose the cities of the Azure Kingdom, she was letting him select her future dowry!

Moreover, this dowry could be considered unprecedented in its extravagance and grandeur!

Is there anyone else in the world who uses the Azure Kingdom's vast lands as a dowry?

Whew!

Owen took a deep breath and then said seriously, "Leslie, I've changed my mind..."

"What I said earlier doesn't count."

"I don't want any of those."

Hearing this, Leslie raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at Owen with

some confusion.

"None of it?"

"Aetheria, Drakenshire, Eldoria, Luminastra..."

"You don't want any of them? Why?"

Owen shook his head and smiled, "Because what you're offering isn't what I want."

Leslie lifted her delicate chin, her stunning face full of confidence.

Proudly, she said, "Owen, then tell me what you want..."

"As long as you want it, and as long as I have it."

"I'll give it all to you!"

Owen was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Leslie's puzzled yet proud face and

said in a deep voice, "You."

The simple yet deep word echoed...

This time it was Leslie's turn to be stunned!

But the good thing about Leslie was that she quickly snapped out of her daze.

She slightly curled her lips into a smile at Owen...

Her smile radiated a brilliance that seemed to convey all the beauty in the world.

She smiled and responded to Owen, "Mm! I'll give you everything!"

The scene widens...

A man and woman stood in the depths of the courtyard, both smiling happily...

Yes!

Happier than ever before!

From beginning to end, the two never said the words "love" or "like" common among ordinary couples, yet one could sense the uniqueness and closeness between them...

They were never bound by the mundane entanglements of ordinary romance.

For Leslie...

With Owen, she shared an innate, mutual understanding and tacit connection.

Being evenly matched, yet having the joy of striving together toward a common goal.

The endless joy brought by the deep connection between their souls.

So today, her decision was made after careful consideration.

To her, Owen was a one-of-a-kind existence in the world.

They didn't know how long they stood in silence among the peach blossoms.

When a gentle breeze blew a petal across their eyes...

Owen and Leslie spoke simultaneously:

"When everything is settled, I'll marry you!"

"When everything is settled, I'll marry you!"

Hearing the words, both were stunned for a moment.

Then they turned and laughed lightly...

Outside the courtyard...

Duke Charles watched the two standing among the petals, a fatherly smile spreading across

his serious face.

He sighed with emotion and then turned to leave.

Seeing the two made the impending crisis seem insignificant.

And Charlotte, clad in her fiery attire...

She looked at the two with envy...

Holding a note in her hand...

The note clearly read 2 words: "Master-tier Incoming!"
