Chapter 6: Contractual Marriage.
Aria asked him "how are you? Does it hurt?"
Aaron Aurora replied, "I'm fine! How about you? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
"Thanks to you, I am fine; if you didn't protect me, I would die," said Aria.
''No need to thank me, it's my duty to protect the woman I love'' said Aaron.
Hearing his straightforward answer, Aria's face turned red.
"You! Just wait for a minute. I will go and call my sister," said Aria.
"Your sister? Do you have a sister?" asked Aaron Aurora.
"Yes, I do! She is the Queen of the Frost Kingdom; her Majesty Arumi," said Aria.
"Oh! Huh? Arumi?" asked Aaron Aurora.
''Yes! Arumi, Arumi Black Hawk'' replied Aria.
''Wait! Then what is your name?'' asked Aaron.
''Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am called Aria, Aria Black Hawk, How about you? What is your name?''
''What? Wait, just give me a second, Aria and Arumi?'' asked Aaron.
''Yes!''
''How is that possible?'' Aaron asked in a shocked voice.
'WTF Is happening here? My love Aria Arumi Black Hawk was born as two different personas? Aria and Arumi? I need to see Arumi immediately to confirm my doubts' thought, Aaron.
Aria felt puzzled by his weird behavior.
She ignored him and said loudly "Someone, go and inform Her Majesty that the person who saved me has woken up."
"Yes, princess!" the bodyguards outside the door obeyed her words and went to tell Arumi.
After that Aria inquired Aaron Aurora about his identity.
"I don't have an identity! As far as I know, I lived in an orphanage. I came from the other side of the neverending forest."Said Aaron Aurora.
"You came from the other side of the neverending forest? Please don't lie, there is no way that someone can come from the other side of the forest alive," Aria said without believing him.
"It's true! And I can't do anything if you don't believe me, it's your own choice whether you believe me or not," said Aaron Aurora.
They continued chatting with each other and inquired about each other.
Aaron asked Aria about Arumi.
When they were busy talking, they heard the footsteps of someone entering the room.
"Sister you came?" said Aria.
Arumi nodded her head.
When Aaron Aurora saw Arumi, his heart started to beat again.
He thought everything would be fine if he proposed to Aria Arumi Black Hawk before they die but now? A new problem arrived; his love Aria Arumi was born as two personas, Aria and Arumi, Twins.
Aaron Aurora was perplexed. While he was feeling troubled. Arumi Introduced herself.
"I am called Arumi Black Hawk, Queen of the Frost Kingdom," said Arumi.
Aaron Aurora said, "I am called Aaron Aurora, Her Majesty?"
"Please don't address me as Her Majesty just call me by my name, " said Arumi.
Aaron Aurora nodded his head then turned towards Aria and asked "The person I saved is you? Or your sister?"
"It's me! Why did you ask?" Aria asked Aaron Aurora.
"I'm sorry, but my heart began to beat faster again when I saw your sister, it reacted for the both of you, so I was a little confused," said Aaron Aurora.
Hearing his words Aria stood up and asked: "are you serious?"
Aaron Aurora nodded his head.
"Pervert" Aria lashed out at him.
"For how many women did, your heart reacts? You pervert," said Aria in an angry tone.
"Aria! Don't be disrespectful," said Arumi.
"Sorry" Aria apologized to Aaron Aurora.
Aaron felt ashamed. He was not an idiot. He understood the reason for her anger, but he was unable to tell her about his past.
There is no way for him to tell that; she and Arumi were one in both body and soul in the other worlds or how she was born as twins with two bodies, souls in this world? Even he didn't understand anything, how would they react or think about him?
So, he replied, "it's ok."
'Damn it! I thought too much, he is just a pervert, he and his damn heart, it's too misleading' thought Aria after hearing his ''it's ok.''
...
Arumi honestly asked Aaron without hiding anything "Aaron, from where did you come? I sent people to inquire about you, but they weren't able to find anything about you."
"He said, he came from the other side of the neverending forest," Aria said with a mockery tone.
"Oh! The people I sent to find about your identity also said something similar to it" said Arumi.
"What did they say?" asked Aria.
"They said, some people saw him coming out of the neverending forest, there is also proof that he sold the monster corpses in the guild," said Arumi.
"Just a coincidence," said Aria.
"Let's not talk about it now" saying this Arumi turned towards Aaron Aurora and asked, "I heard that you proposed to my sister is that true."
"Yes," said Aaron Aurora.
"Then will you marry her?" asked Arumi.
Both Arumi and Aaron were caught off-guard.
'Didn't you said: you would marry him?' Thought Arumi.
"Sorry, I reject!" said Aaron Aurora.
This time Arumi was caught off-guard.
Aria was stunned too.
'He rejected to marry me?' Thought Aria.
"Why, can you tell me the reason?" asked Arumi.
"When I first saw her, my heart started to beat loudly as if it would explode at any moment so I immediately proposed her but now when I saw you I had the same reaction, so I am confused," said Aaron Aurora.
He said it like that to them, but his thoughts are totally different 'marry her? Then what about you? For everyone, you twins are two, but for me; both of you are one person.'
"Why don't you just say that you want to marry the both of us?" said Aria.
Hearing her, Aaron Aurora subconscious nodded his head.
"See? He nodded his head, just as I said, he is a pervert." Aria told to Arumi.
"What? No, nono. I just nodded my head subconsciously," said Aaron Aurora.
"Aria, you just wait! Let me talk," said Arumi.
"Are you sure? You don't want to marry Aria?" once again asked Arumi.
Aaron Aurora nodded his head in agreement.
"What about me? Do you want to marry me?" Said Arumi.
"Ha?" Aaron Aurora was confused.
He asked, "Why does it look like you want me to marry one of you?"
To his question, Arumi nodded her head and said "Because the Frost Kingdom is on the verge of collapse and we sister are being suppressed in all directions to the point where we need to marry some random court official sons or they will rebel,"
Aaron was enraged when he heard that they were being suppressed, he decided to kill those who were causing trouble to his women.
"So, you want to marry me?" asked Aaron.
"Yes," said Arumi.
"Why me?" asked Aaron Aurora.
"Because you survived even after getting pierced by the God Slaying Spear," said Arumi.
"God Slaying Spear? What is that?" asked Aaron Aurora.
Arumi explained to him about the God Slaying Spear.
"Oh, Ok then, I agree to marry her, but what would you do if I am a scum?" asked Aaron Aurora.
"Humph, who would marry a pervert like you?" said Aria.
Arumi: Aria!
"I'm not going to marry him," said Aria.
Arumi tried to convince Aria, but she rejected.
"Fine! Don't regret it later" saying this to Aria, Arumi told to Aaron "please marry me."
"Ok, anyone is fine with me," said Aaron Aurora.
Aria clenched her fists and thought 'ok? Anyone is fine? My ass, pervert! Didn't you propose to me? What happened to it?'
"Ok, let us get married immediately," said Arumi.
Aaron Aurora nodded his head.
Arumi brought out two contract sheets and said "One is for marriage, and the other is for contractual marriage" (personal and for public)
''What? A contractual marriage? No one said this to me'' asked Aaron.
Arumi felt embarrassed, Aria said ''what did you expect? A real marriage? Without knowing anything about you?''
Aaron nodded his head shamelessly.
"When did you, prepare them?" Aria asked Arumi ignoring Aaron.
"After I had a serious talk with you," said Arumi.
"Sis, are you sure about this?" asked Aria.
"Yes, I am."
Aria turned towards Aaron Aurora and said: "If you harm her or made her cry then I will kill you."
"Then, why don't you marry me?" asked Aaron Aurora.
"I hate perverts!" replied Aria.
''But I love you'' said Aaron.
After having their talk, both Arumi and Aaron Aurora signed the contract sheets becoming husband and wife.
"With just a simple sign, we became husband and wife," said Aaron Aurora.
Contract: something like no relationship until their problem is solved, both of them would continue their relationship as husband and wife if the like each other; if they don't like then the contract is nullified,...
Arumi brought out another two of the same contracts and gave one to Aaron Aurora.
One is a marriage; another is a contract.
After that, they went towards the Emperor's Throne.
Arumi sat on the throne then made a decree and let the eunuch spread it all over the Frost Kingdom.
The Drums,… stuff in the Royal Palace played.
The guards went to each and every street while drumming and announced the marriage between Her Majesty and His Majesty.
Everyone in the Frost Kingdom got shocked!
All the court official, ministers, commoners,... All of them were stunned!
A few officials and ministers started to cause trouble at the Royal Palace, protesting against Her Majesty Arumi.
Arumi ignored everyone and started to explain everything to Aaron Aurora.
She explained everything about the current situation; monsters sudden invasion which started 3 years ago, about her father's capture when he went to suppress the monsters invasion,… she told everything without leaving a single detail.
Aarons' face twitched when he heard about the monster invasion because he is the one responsible for it.
"From now onwards you are the Emperor of the Frost Kingdom, even though our marriage is fake and you will be a fake Emperor; but still, in the view of the others you are my husband and the current Emperor, so be careful, there are many people who would try to assassinate the both of us."
"Since I am married, they will try to assassinate you and me to use Aria as a chip/tool," said Arumi.
''Use Aria as a tool? They must be dreaming! Answer me one question, can I kill those who oppose me?" asked Aaron.
"If you have enough strength then you can" Aria gave him the answer.
"Yes, if you are strong then, you can" Arumi agreed to Aria.
"Ok, leave everything to me, I may not look like I'm strong but I am the strongest person in the entire world."
"I don't know about your strength, but you are definitely strong at boasting, 1st you came from the other side of the neverending forest and now you are the strongest in the entire world," said Aria.
Arumi nodded her head in Agreement with Aria.
"Good, good, good, both of you just wait and watch," said Aaron Aurora.
