Based on her reaction, he no longer had any doubts about what was going on. The person he had saved was definitely not the woman in white. As for the real woman in white, she could very possibly still be within the king of the ocean’s palace.
With these new revelations, Gerald felt it would be wiser not to mention where Zeus’s whereabouts was. He would keep that a secret until he found the real woman in white.
“I don’t care! I’m never going to believe you! Regardless, I’ve told you that we’re getting married tomorrow! Do you already have your answer?” asked Queena as her gaze momentarily softened as she looked at him.
“Marriage isn’t a game, and it’s not like there’s any love between us in the first place… With that in mind, how could we get married?” replied Gerald with a bitter smile.
“It’s definitely no game, I agree with that. Whatever the case is, does that mean that there really is no room for further discussion between us? Is the only one in your heart that lover of yours?” asked Queena as she raised a brow.
Hearing no reply from Gerald, Queena glared daggers at him as she added, “I see. So that’s how it’s going to be. I get where you’re coming from, but just because you don’t love me today, that doesn’t mean you won’t end up loving me in the future! I’ll make you beg me sincerely to love me one day!”
Following that, she pointed at both Gerald’s shoulder and forehead in quick succession. A split second later, Gerald felt his entire body stiffen. He couldn’t move a muscle!
Turning to look at Queena—who had the elegance of a queen—Gerald asked, “What did you do to me?”
“It’s simple, really. All I did was restrain the three largest chakras on your body. I’ve also sealed your inner strength! Due to that, you’re just a regular human being now. Tell you what, I’ll give you a bit more time to think about it. If you truly wish to recover your strength in order to get one step closer to finding the answer you seek, then beg me for marriage. You’ll have to kneel before me while doing so, of course!” replied Queena, her pretty eyes glistening coldly.
Taking in a deep breath, she then gave Gerald an emotionless stare before shouting, “Now head back and sleep on it!”
With that, she turned around to leave.
Throughout this entire time, the other Yonwicks had been standing outside, listening intently to their conversation. Linus himself was already sweating.
