Chapter 164 Contradiction and Marriage Part 3

Even though the woman smiled in front of the crowd, only Lucas knew that the smile was just a show for everyone. In silence, both of them had committed themselves to playing the role of the perfect couple for their respective goals. The last time Lucas had come to the Corvus residence to talk about speeding up their marriage, Ravenia had calmly and firmly agreed to speed up the marriage. Of course, this made Lucas wonder.

But his daydreaming had to stop for the time being. An old priest began the ceremony with a deep, solemn voice. The voice barely reached Lucas' ears. He felt isolated in this crowd, as if he were in a golden cage made by his own family.

It was Lucas' turn to say the vows, his voice calm, almost even.

"I, Lucas Granville, promise to guard and protect Ravenia Corvus as my companion for life." The words were clear, but devoid of any emotion they should have had.
