His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God?

Surrounded by towering and young trees, fireflies, and nightbirds, Amami and Cina stand in front of each other, holding each other's hands. He keeps gazing at her with a goofy smile. She avoids his gaze awkwardly and shyly. 

"With my children, the stars, the moons, and every other creature who is witnessing this union," Cina bends down his head and vows, "I, Cina, take you as my wife and my mate for the end of the time and beyond without any conditions."

Amami raises her head and looks into his green eyes. "Without any conditions?"

"Yes." He grins at her. "Eternity is a long time. I am sure that a lot will happen to us. That's why I don't want to put any conditions. Whatever happens, I will always be on your side. I won't look away from you."

Why does he like her so much? Amami bites her inner cheek. What's good about her? "Don't you know the meaning of a god's promise? Even if we are getting married, you shouldn't say these words carelessly."

"I mean each word." Cina tells her with a steady voice, "If I put conditions, do I really like you?"

"But why do you like me?" Amami creases her forehead. "We only met once before."

Cina thinks about it for a moment. He knits his brows. "Our first meeting was bad but… I really liked hugging you."

"..." He's talking about her fat body, isn't he?

"And when I met you for the second time..." Cina stares into her dark eyes. "I still liked hugging you."

Is he a simpleton? Something's wrong with his head? Is he truly a god? If he likes hugging so much, he should get an oversized teddy bear.

Amami lets out a short breath. But she already promised him.

"I want to do things that only happen between husband and wife." Cina blurts out with widened eyes, "I know that we can do it even before we get married but I don't want to make the same mistake that the dark god made. We should do it step-by-step. After we get married, we will get to know each other more. I will love you every day and, when the time is right, let's have a lot of children."

"..." He has made a plan already.

"When are you going to say the vow?" Cina whines. "I want to have a wedding night."

"We can't have a wedding night." Amami snaps at him, "Let's get to know each other before we get married."

Cina gawks at her. "What are you saying? That will take too long. Let's get married and know each other in bed first. I want to hug your body. If we aren't married, I will feel insecure. What if someone else comes and takes you away? Do you know how huggable you are? We must do it."

It seems that he plans to attack her the moment she says the words. Amami shakes her head. "We can't do it that fast."

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "My bride is shy."

Amami nods her head. Who wouldn't be shy? This shameless man is talking about a wedding night like this.

"Even if you lost weight, I am sure that you have an amazing body," Cina assures her, nodding his head lightly. "I know that it's your first time but it's also my first time. I have never been with a woman before. Let's explore this together."

Isn't this like an arranged marriage? Amami scowls at him darkly when he smiles at her. She knows fully what he wants to explore. "You never had a woman before?"

Cina blinks his eyes, thinking hard. He can��t remember. However, he heard about his life from Rilyah. He did have children: trees, plants, and spirits. But he created them. As far as he knows, there's been no woman in his life. "Of course, how could I have someone else? I was meant to come to this world and find you."

She wrinkles her nose. However, his words tug the cords of her heart. "Alright, I already promised myself to you."

"You did." Cina gives her a warm smile.

"In front of all the witnesses, I…" She meets his gaze. "Amami, the main face of the rain, take you, Cina, a god of Iravan, as my life partner in front of"

"That's all?" He chuckles. "Ama, you should put some conditions on me. I forced you to promise yourself to me. I will allow you to put some conditions on me."

"Really?" She raises her brow. "What if I make you my slave?"

"Would you?" He places his hands on her narrow waist, pulling her close to him. Wind rustles the leaves. Long vines of flowers descend around them, shielding them from anyone's views. He scans her blushing face as he feels his heart pulsing loudly. "What do you want me to do to you as a slave?"

"T-That…" Amami looks down, turning red. "I am not that kind of goddess. I won't bind you like this. Since you trust me, I also have faith in you."

That's a beginning. Cina lifts her face to meet his eyes. When his wife bites her lower lip nervously, he lets out a chuckle. "I am going to hug you to sleep tonight."

She blinks his eyes, surprised. Didn't he say… he would do it?

"Surely, I want to do other things." He plants a kiss on the corner of her eye. "However, I want to make love to you when both of us can't keep it inside our heart anymore."

Amami clenches her hands nervously. He wants her to love him first? But aren't they already husband and wife? Does it matter?

"Rilyah told me." Cina divulges, "Children are smarter and more powerful if they are born out of passionate love."

"..." What kind of…

"She said that she and her sisters were born as moons of Iravan because their parents are really passionate." Cina continues solemnly, "She also said that sex is a lot better if you do it with the person you love."

"Husband, I don't think --"

"I don't want to feel nervous." He grabs her shoulders. "Besides, you lost too much weight. I am sure that you also lost strength. Let's get you fat again."

Amami lowers her brows and sighs. He just wants her to become fat again.

"We can't sleep at this place." He holds her wrist and drags her along with him. "I have to stay at Renasir's house. You should leave your juniors to work at the shrine. For the time being, rest at Renasir's house with me."

Leaving high and dry… Amami glances at their joined hands, feeling disappointed. He's truly only going to hug her to sleep, isn't he? 

Cina takes her to Ari's house. "Actually, I have to wait here for Renasir."

He keeps talking about Renasir. Amami pouts. It's supposed to be their wedding night. It's her right to be shy and he should be doing a lot more than talking about other unimportant things. "Who is this Renasir?"

"You don't know much about me." Cina halts in his track. He turns around and looks at her. "Why am I making you walk?"

They are already on the road. The city rarely sleeps. There are vehicles running on the road. But no one can see them at the moment. Both of them have turned themselves invisible to ordinary people.

"I am fine with walking," Amami replies with a meek voice. "I can walk around the earth without getting tired."

"I shouldn't be making you walk." Cina mumbles as he looks around, "I can't use my powers here. It will attract too much attention."

She shakes her head. When he was turning the shrine into a forest, did he think that it wouldn't attract attention? Her shrine is on the national channel. 

"Alright then." Cina lifts her up in his arms. "Wife, think of me as a palanquin." 

"Ah, you!" Amami places her hand on her mouth. "I can walk!"

"I don't want you to walk." Cina jumps ahead, flying straight in the air before landing on the roof of a house. Honestly, it's not hard to use his power here. But he wants to carry her like this. The shy look in her eyes, her vain denials, and the way she is holding him tightly are enough reasons to take a long way home. 

He can't wait to know her more.
