Marriage

Jay was so touched by her story . That he brushed McElroy aside and accepted the duel .

Ragnar :

You are truly a man for not hiding behind your escort .

Jay took his stance .

Ragnar rushed towards him . Using his speed as advantage he tossed him behind him. But Ragnar planned this .

Just as he fell he grabbed Jays leg and pulled him . Jay fell on his face flat . While Ragnar recovered and he took advantage of the situation. When he tried to body slam Jay .

And he took advantage of that . Jay dodged the blow and Ragnar caused a slight tremor with his blow . Jay locked him using a move but Ragnar was so flexible that using his legs he grabbed Jay and tossed him behind .

Ragnar used drop kick but Jay layed in the ground and kicked him in the air instead . And he used an overhead kick to drop him down damaging the wooden floor .

Jay : (Turning towards Livia)

Let me say this once again . I Jay Garrick will acc---

(Sudden realisation and pain the chest )

Jay suddenly started sweating profusely and his breathing increased as a possibility came to his mind .

' What if '

' This is another trick set up by X '

' I don't get to leave if I accept now '

' This is just a ruse , just to backstab me '

' No I won't fall once again into X's plot '

' I never get out '

' This sounds too good to be true '

In a tone of desperation Jay shouted .

Jay :

I ah I III refuse to accept the marriage .

Lilia and McElroy who were suporting Jay were shocked by the reveal .

Jay :

Hahahaha so that's how it is . I knew something was off . But this is just one of X's dirty tricks .

Hahahah how could I be soo foolish .

Everything is fake here . There is nothing real . Oh my I should have doubted everything. This event And that events coming one after another.

Jay had taken a turn towards insanity .

The mere thought of X affected his mentality .

The same thing happened once when he thought of accepting the path of a hero.

The warrior monks were enraged by Jay's action . They readied their weapons . For insulting their saintess .

Lilia :

What is happening to Jay .

McElroy,:

This happened a few times in the past but when he faces a life changing situation it reminds him of someone and he spirals .

This is bad we need to control him . Or he'll end doing something.

Jay made much more rash comments until he collapsed.

Livia was shocked by the many things Jay said . And she felt very heart broken .

All of the warrior poured onto Jay until Livia stopped them .

Livia : Stop .

Livia :

As your saintess I order you to stop .

These are my guest and no.harm should come to them .

The warriors stopped at her command . Still they held their grudge .

Ragnar was also enraged at Jay but he was also confused why he acted this way .

As Jay was in poor health they were offered stay . This was a time of great friction between McElroy and Lilia as they were living under scrutiny that time .

They tried to talk things over with Livia but she wouldn't even heed their call .

They tried to talk with the monks but they were shunned away .

Their last hope was Ragnar but even he refused .

Jay please wake up now .

Meanwhile he was running a internal battle .

X : So how everything going .
