The scene was deathly silent as everyone waited for Dainsleif to make a decision. It was obvious that Azaria had agreed to marry him to get him out of the punishment.
Most of their classmates were confused as to why Azaria would want to protect him if she was indeed assaulted by Dainsleif. Was their moment really an assault or was it truly consensual like Hestia had declared earlier?
After a long silence, Dainsleif finally opened his mouth saying something that shocked everyone.
"Your highness. If I had to choose between Dying in a humiliating way and marrying Azaria, I would choose to be tortured by a female lesser widowed ghost. Hope that answers your curiosity…"
The scene now just becomes extra weird. The Blessed didn't know anything about widowed ghosts, but the three girls and the Empire officials knew it very well.
