Marry me?
The absurd words made Robin's expression dazed, wondering if she had heard wrong.
She was a woman the World Government had specifically ordered to be eliminated. Marrying her would only bring endless trouble.
"Are you crazy?"
"It's the world that's gone mad."
Eric responded to her with words full of philosophical meaning.
“I know your past, I accept everything about you. If you're willing, we'll get married as soon as possible.”
He was serious…
Robin stared silently at Eric, her beautiful pupils reflecting various emotions of incomprehension.
Eric returned a polite smile.
Robin's gaze was deep, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she remained silent for about ten seconds.
"If I don't agree, will you arrest me and hand me over to the government?"
"No."
Robin obviously didn't believe him. She knew she had asked a meaningless question. In her current situation, she had no choice but to agree.
"I agree to you." She spoke softly, "But I want to know why you want to marry me?"
Of course, it's to survive!
Eric answered in his heart, but this truthful answer could not be told to the other party.
He had to marry the woman in front of him as soon as possible, whether by coercion or other means.
Of course, it would be better if she cooperated.
The marriage had to be quick. He was afraid that he might die at any time. As for feelings, they could be cultivated after marriage.
As for the World Government?
The World Government, who the hell cares!
"I'll tell you about that slowly. Come with me now."
Eric took Robin's small hand and then shouted to the people not far away: "Calvin, gather up!"
His subordinates were carrying the bodies of the Black Hand members. They all worked together to throw a dozen bodies off the sea cliff.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
A large splash of water was created by the continuous sounds of the bodies hitting the water.
Calvin, who had just finished his work, looked back and his eyes widened.
How come, in the blink of an eye, the Commander was holding the woman's hand?
So, the Commander actually knew this woman and chose to protect her?
But something wasn't right. Nicole Robin's reaction earlier didn't seem like they knew each other…
Faced with such a strange situation, Calvin pretended not to see it.
"Yes, Colonel!"
He called for the Marines to gather and followed Eric away from the scene of the murder.
Back in Xi Hong Town, Eric first bought a beautiful silk face mask for Robin, so she could temporarily cover her face to prevent anyone from recognizing her.
Then, he found a resort hotel and booked the entire hotel for a month.
During this process, Robin was held by the hand the entire time, never letting go, as if afraid she would run away.
The most luxurious room in the hotel was naturally chosen by Eric.
At this moment, in the living room of the room.
Eric led Robin to sit down and said to his loyal confidant:
"Calvin, I've decided to get married soon. You take some people to buy some essential wedding supplies, then notify the hotel manager. We'll have the wedding here in three days."
Get married?!
Calvin was stunned, what's going on?
Three days? Robin's crimson lips opened slightly, her heart filled with unease.
"Colonel, are you serious?" Calvin couldn't help but speak. Normally, he shouldn't do this, but he had to speak up now: "You're not here for a vacation, you have an important mission!"
Building a Marine branch from scratch!
"Important mission?"
Eric scoffed. Who would tell him how to build a Marine base with a mere 10 million Berries?
Of course, he didn't need to tell the other party about these dark dealings of the Marine high command for now.
"I've been demoted to the West Sea. Do you think I've been promoted?" Eric shook his head. "I've been having bad luck lately. I should get married to bring good luck. As for the mission, it's something I'll have to do step by step."
"... Alright, you're the Commander, I'll only follow your orders."
Seeing that the Colonel was set on this, Calvin didn't persuade him further. He glanced subtly at Nicole Robin.
Could she be the bride?
Oh dear! This is a major wanted criminal of the World Government… what is the Colonel thinking?
"Go." Eric thought of something else and instructed, "Also, have the bridal shop people bring a few wedding dresses to the hotel."
It wouldn't be convenient for Robin to go to the shop to choose a wedding dress. There was a chance of exposing her identity.
"Understood, I'll go do it now!"
Calvin nodded in agreement and left immediately.
Eric turned to the person beside him and asked softly, "Your hand has been sweating since just now, are you nervous?"
"It's my first time getting married..." Robin's lips parted, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
The development of things was always unexpected, leaving her overwhelmed.
"It's my first time too, don't be nervous. Your identity is not suitable for a big wedding, so the wedding will be low-key. Don't mind it."
Being a person twice, Eric had truly never been married before, and he hadn't even had a girlfriend.
He never imagined that he would be calmly discussing their wedding with a woman he had just met.
Indeed, people are forced to do things.
"…"
Robin just remained silent, thinking about how to escape.
Maybe she could sneak away while this man was asleep, but the Marines outside were a problem. If she were caught, she didn't think Eric would give her another chance.
Just then, click.
Robin was slightly startled, she lowered her head and looked at the hands they were holding.
Both their wrists were shackled, the chains connecting each other.
"You... what are you doing?" Robin was dumbfounded.
"I was afraid you would run away," Eric seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled, "I'll have to inconvenience you before the wedding."
How annoying…!
Robin's delicate face behind the veil turned red.
From being angry!
Now how could she escape?
"What about sleeping?"
"We'll sleep together."
"... What about showering?"
"We'll shower together?"
"…" Robin sighed dejectedly.
She had already clearly understood that this man really wanted to marry her.
At the same time, she was extremely confused.
Marrying her would be very, very troublesome, she would be hunted down by the World Government until death. Even if she ran to the ends of the earth, she would be pursued.
"You're paying such a high price to marry me. Why?" Robin just wanted to know why.
Love at first sight?
She knew she was beautiful, but no man would be foolish enough to marry her. It's impossible for such a fool to exist in the world.
"Then let's have a good chat."
Eric thought that since he was free, he might as well get to know each other better and cultivate some feelings before the wedding.
He told her about his "demotion to the West Sea," and he didn't hide his malice towards the World Government.
With a common enemy, their conversation suddenly opened up.
…
…
Three days later.
The day of the wedding.
The resort hotel was brightly decorated, but there were few guests.
Due to the bride's sensitive identity, the wedding was held very low-key.
There were no relatives or friends of the bride, and only Calvin and others from the groom's side.
Similarly, there was no officiant for the wedding.
Without an officiant, Eric would be the officiant himself.
"Ms. Robin, are you willing to be with me for life, never to be separated, and spend our lives together? Are you willing?" Eric recited his lines and asked.
Robin was speechless. Now that she had actually come to this point of getting married, she didn't even know what she should do.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Eric saw that she didn't respond and asked helplessly.
After thinking for a moment, Robin looked at him intently and asked back:
"Mr. Proudmoore Eric, are you willing to bear the heavy 800-year history that I carry, no matter what dangers you encounter in the future, will you protect me, respect me, and take care of me?"
"Of course, I am."
Seeing that he answered without any hesitation, Robin showed a faint smile.
"Then I'm willing too. I hope you remember today's sacred vows!"
She never thought that someone like her would have the chance to get married, it was truly a novel experience.
From now on, she has a husband?
The ceremony was over.
The moment Robin said "yes", the system's prompt appeared as promised.
【Congratulations to the host for marrying his first wife, rewarded with +5 years of lifespan.】
In an instant, Eric's body trembled, his dry soul seemed to be nourished again.
Nice!
Eric only felt a warm feeling all over his body, a warm current flowed through his body, gradually reaching his abdomen.
Little Eric was getting excited.
The simple wedding ceremony ended, and next came the wedding night.
