"Aren't you taking me in as your woman?"
Wait a minute! What is she talking about? What's wrong with her? Did I clearly imply that I would marry her? What on earth is she talking about? How did she get to that thinking? I thought that she was quirky... but I wasn't expecting anything like that at all.
"W-w-what are you talking about, Zenith?" I tried to force myself to smile since even I had no idea what was going on. As for Natalia, well, let's just say that she was utterly speechless. I can't blame her though. I've never seen anyone open and aggressively claim someone like that.
"Isn't that why you wanted me to be your disciple? To make me your betrothed?" Zenith asked.
I mean... she's not wrong, but I'm not that kind of a Sect Master. I acknowledged her talents and skills, that's all there is to it. If there's more, then why would I openly admit it? Wouldn't that be crazy?
