Chapter 1348

Are You Really Marrying Me

“Akiyama, why have you suddenly changed your mind about marrying my daughter? I thought you said
previously that you had no intentions of starting up a family.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Solomon knelt down in front of them. He did not deny anything.

“However, I was lying to you guys at the time. The reason I rejected the marriage back then was not
because I didn’t want to start a family. The truth was that I felt I wasn’t good enough. I did not want to
be a burden to your daughter. Besides, I’m sure you’ve seen it for yourself today.”

Finally, he chose to tell the truth.

When he raised his head and looked at Ichika’s parents, his expression was filled with sincerity and
remorse.

Ichika’s father was stunned.

Ichika’s mother was also silent for a long time as she stared at Solomon.

Seeing this, Sabrina could not help but interject. “Mr. Minamoto, my brother has messed up before.
However, he really means it this time. I hope that you can give him another chance.”

For the sake of acting as a supportive family member, Sabrina was willing to completely disregard her
title.

Solomon looked back at her.

He realized that she was not looking his way at all. Instead, she was looking expectantly ahead.



He was shocked by her actions.

After roughly an hour of waiting, Giichi Minamoto, the head of the Minamoto family, finally nodded.

“Fine, but this time, you must announce it to the entire Terrandya that you are marrying my daughter.
Furthermore, you must host your wedding for everyone to see, and it must follow my country’s culture.”

Finally, he had agreed.

However, his approval came with conditions. He would only marry Ichika off if Solomon held a grand
wedding following their culture and announced their matrimony to the entire world.

Isn’t that a given?

When Sabrina heard his requests, she still had not really understood the situation yet. She thought it
was great news.

It was not until they left Giichi’s room that one of the subordinates following Solomon explained the
reality of things to her.

“Ms. Sabrina, following our culture, if Mr. Akiyama wants to marry Ms. Minamoto, he must, firstly, honor
the Minamoto family with a generous gift. The gift has to be something that no one in Terrandya can
look down upon.

“Secondly, when he comes to propose the marriage, Mr. Akiyama’s father must be there too. It is a way
of showing respect.

“Finally, when Ichika is about to marry off, since the Minamoto family are nobles, there is a procedure
to follow that has been passed down from the royal family. From the acceptance to the blessings, and
finally the wedding, there are a total of ten steps. Every step must be followed carefully. It will be very
troublesome.”



After so much explanation, the subordinate could feel his mouth going dry.

On the other hand, Sabrina was baffled listening to all this.

It’s just a marriage. Is it really necessary to make it so complicated? From the acceptance to the
blessings… Also, what ten steps is he talking about?

Her mind was a complete mess. Looking to the man ahead of her some distance away, his expression
was not particularly pleased either. She was left with no choice. There was only one thing she could do.
Hence, she whipped out her phone and began discussing it in the group chat.

At this moment, Solomon was already at the door and was about to step out.

“Mr. Akiyama!”

Suddenly, a light, feminine voice rang.

Solomon turned to look back. He saw a girl dressed in the Jetroinian traditional outfit with her hair in a
bun come running over.

“Mr. Akiyama, d-did my father agree when you went to talk to him about our marriage? What did he
say?”

There were beads of sweat lined on her forehead from the running. When she heard that he was finally
here, she had rushed over excitedly. At the same time, she was feeling extremely shy. Her cheeks
were blushing bright pink.

Solomon was dazed.

To be honest, when he had come out earlier, he was feeling rather frustrated.



Of all the conditions that Giichi had asked for, there was not a single one that Solomon could comply
with. He had no family or friends. Although he had a sister, there was no way he could allow her to take
on such a heavy responsibility of planning such a grandeur wedding.

He was nothing but a loner.

Now, he lowered his gaze and looked at the girl who was running toward him. Her clear, bright eyes
were filled with hope and excitement.

In an instant, his heart melted.

“Don’t worry. Just wait for me at home.”

“Okay!”

Hearing that, she was over the moon.

Her big, round eyes curved into the shape of the moon. Her tiny face was overflowing with happiness.
The sun was not nearly as bright when shining next to her.

She really was just an innocent little girl.

No one knew why she insisted on marrying a man who was almost thirty years old.

When Solomon stepped out of the Minamoto residence, Sabrina was already chattering away in the
Whatsapp group chat. Notifications were sounding nonstop.

Sasha: Sab, give us more detail. What is the Minamoto family asking for? You have to let us know so
we can get ready.

Sabrina: Please! I’ve already said so much, do you still not get it?



Mr. Wand: Sab, I don’t really get it either…

Devin: Darling, can you repeat it one more time?

Sabrina felt completely helpless.

The only people that had not responded so far were Sebastian and Jonathan.

However, this was not surprising at all. Jonathan was well into his old age, so he could not stand the
chitter-chatter of the younger generation. He probably had not joined into the conversation because he
could not keep up.
