24: Gracious Rewards

"Why are you so persistent?"

"What'd you mean?" Tengen tilts his head innocently.

"About making me your fourth wife?" You couldn't help but ask.

At this, Tengen smiles, "simple. It's because I want you♡." he says in a matter of factly.

Your cheeks burned at that statement as you started caressing your long (h/c) hair, shyly.

"A-are you sure? I mean.. I'm not sure I'd make a great wife. Especially, to a man like you.." You blushed, sharing at the hard wooden floor.

Tengen smirks, "can you cook?" He asks outta the blue.

"Eh?!" You snapped your gaze back to him.

"Can you cook?" He repeated.

"Uh..a little bit. I-I know how to make rice and beef stew." You tell him.

"Do you have love in your heart?" He ask.

You blinked, finding his questions odd. But, you still answered regardless.

"Of course I do! What kind of idiotic question is that?" You pouted cutely.

"Heh~ works for me!♡" Tengen grins in delight, "you'll make a wonderful fourth wife!"

You tried not to get carried away by his flattery. It was good knowing you had made enough of a great impression for him to want you, of all people, as a wife.

Tengen, himself, is a bit of an enigma. But you have admittedly appreciated the fact that he was indeed aesthetically pleasing.

Breathtaking even!

"But...." He started, "I can't guarantee I'm husband material. Despite being so handsome, flamboyant, great, and─"

"And big-headed.. (¬､¬)" You say, nonchalantly.

"Err...t-that too. But that's beside the point! What I mean is I'm no perfect man." He says.

"Of course you're not! No man in the world is perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect human being." You tell him.

For a brief moment, Tengen thought of a certain flame-haired male, who's name rhymes with "Rangaku."

If there's such a perfect man, it would definitely be him and Tengen couldn't even compare himself to the flame pillar, let alone compete with him as he quickly shook his head.

"Then, how would you describe a perfect man?" Tengen asked you.

You stared at the floor, at loss on how to reply. Disoriented, you only shrugged.

"I don't know.. Good looking, smart, worksout, kind, loving, loyal, and able to hold a woman... Etc."

Tengen couldn't help but laugh, "Bwahaha~ that's asking a lot, my sweet peach."

Sweet Peach? (ಠヮಠ')

"C'mere." He suddenly motioned you to come closer, which you didn't hesitate to do.
