The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 94 Temporary Marriage

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Dimas. I am Nomia, the mother of Khan. They used to call Eej, which means Mother in our language. I'm sorry, I'm late to introduce myself, but it's better to be late than not." Nomia reached out her hand to shake hands. Dimas returned the greeting while smiling faintly.

Nomia cleared her throat. "Mrs. Dimas, I don't think I need to mince words anymore. About your daughter, you must decide right now. Rescue him with the help of my son, or find someone who has the power of another Poison Absorber that is certainly not certain."

It seemed that the woman had seen the anger in Shanum's father's expression towards her son, so she tried to recall. The man should have realized that only one quick option was available at this time, which was to allow Khan to treat Shanum.

The woman reflexively helped her son because she was sure that he would fall deeply if he lost Shanum. "Remember Mr. Dimas, your daughter's condition can get worse at times." Eej's insistence was simple and calm, but firm.

Dimas raised both eyebrows suspiciously, obviously still doubtful with the treatment technique that must be done against his daughter.

"You sure that's the only option I have? Is there no other way that is not intimate, however my daughter is still single?"

"none. You heard Chinua's explanation yourself," replied Eej quickly. The woman stared intensely but remained with a friendly expression.

While Dimas did not reply, the gaze of the pair of black eyes shifted to observe Khan's face fixedly, perhaps looking for the hidden intent within. "How can I be sure that after you've done that, my daughter will be completely healed?"

Khan stared back at Dimas with a calm face. And Khan fell silent, because indeed he did not know if the process would work. He had never tested his strength.

Right now Khan is trying to put his trust in Chinua, as it's the closest anchor of rescue from despair that begins to eat away at his heart. To be honest, it was painful to finally give Shanum the thing that would tarnish his good name.

But there was no other choice, the insistence on the girl's recovery was more important at this time. Khan did not want to regret losing the girl.

"Sorry sir, I honestly don't know either. Because I never did that process. But if for Shanum's sake I have to do it, I have to give it a try." He paused for a moment, staring with a serious attitude towards Dimas.

"I love your daughter, sir. If I had to marry him before I could do that, I would. So that there are no discordant voices out there, who dare to stigmatize him."

Dimas. "I don't understand. How could you love my daughter but it's always been hurting her heart. And-"

Khan interrupted Dimas' protest by saying, "I'm so sorry, sir. All of that is beyond my power. Who knew I was going to have Amnesia, and suddenly forget our relationship."

"Then why are you forcing me to marry her if you don't remember her?" Dimas crossed both arms with a defensive stance.

Khan is putting his hair back on. "Because," he said, "I've remembered everything now."

Eej leapt up from his seat, the great excitement aroused by his son's words had just propelled him from the chair and toward Khan. "Gosh, Son. Your whole memory has recovered?"

Khan smiled warmly at his mother. Eej hugged his son. "Thank God, son. I'm so glad you're all of you."

Khan hugged his mother back, and said, "Yes, me too." He was indeed a little relieved, his memories had already returned. Although the impact of the new memories made him grimace in pain, especially his attitude towards Shanum during his memory loss. It made the feeling of guilt even worse in his soul.

Then the woman stretched out her arms, looking at the face of the only son. "I totally agree with this marriage, son. Wasn't that also your wish before the wretched event happened. We have even prepared for it in the second stage of the Selection, where Shanum will be the chosen candidate. Regardless that the marriage had to be accelerated as a way to save his life right now."

Khan smiled sadly, then he turned his head towards Shanum wryly. Eej who saw this understood, his son was not sure he would be able to convince Shanum's father.

The woman patted her son on the shoulder then when Khan turned his head, he smiled as he blinked his eyes. Khan smiled back while nodding. They gave each other a special gesture, which of course was only understood by the two.

"So, Mr. Dimas. How'd you decide?" ask Eej. "Can we start planning a second wedding."

Dimas stared at Nomia long enough for the man's fingers, who was holding his partner's fingers, slightly twitching nervously. "I think I'm very forced to agree to it."

Dimas let out an exaggerated sigh, slowly pushed his chair slightly back, crossed, then stared intently at Khan.

"But I want the wedding to be temporary. After my daughter is completely healed you have to split up, and I'll take her home." Dimas' voice sounded calm even though it was already somewhat elevated.

The mood became quiet. The entire room that was initially relieved had now turned out to be difficult to accept the additional words from the man.

Sounded******* disagreed from Eej, and he muttered: "no, I disagree. Wouldn't it be better to leave that to both. Let them decide what they both want."

"What if I want that? My daughter has been pretty much let down by him" replied Dimas with raised eyebrows.

Dimas' confident attitude left Khan and Eej stunned.

Shanum's mother suddenly grabbed her husband's cheek, pointing that face at him. "That's enough, Mom. Now all we have to think about is the safety of our daughter. No need to argue the coachman. Our daughter is still in danger, you can't possibly leave her like that right?"

Dimas exhaled. "alright. I'll give up for now." The man then turned his head towards Eej. "You can arrange their wedding, Mam. My wife and I fully believe in you."

Dimas then turned his gaze to Khan. His eyes flashed with annoyance, but he continued speaking calmly. "As I was saying, ever since I found out you hurt my daughter, my trust in you is gone. So now that I'm back to giving that little bit of confidence, do it right. Just 'skin to skin'. There is no other process."

Khan's face was heated up in embarrassment. Didn't expect Shanum's father to be able to read his deepest desires that he was desperately dimming. Khan knew he would be in big trouble if he did not hold back the pair's overflow.

Self-control. He should be able to control it later when the process of absorption of toxins from Shanum's body runs. Now all he wanted first was to marry the girl.

"I'm not going to violate your trust this time." Khan gave his promise with a special Klan movement to Dimas. And Dimas seemed to be able to guess the symbol of the promise Khan revealed, he nodded his head in response.

After that, everyone simultaneously left the room. Eej glanced at Khan and smiled widely, he seemed pleased to hear Dimas' decision to marry Khan to his daughter. He then approached Shanum's mother and invited her into a conversation. They are as familiar as old friends who have just met.

The room was suddenly quiet, only Khan was still in the room. He did not follow the others to get out of the room, as he was used to watching Shanum every day.

Khan approached his lover and pulled a bench to sit beside the bed. The man smiled softly.

"I'm finally getting married to you, Shasha. Although this isn't the kind of wedding I want to present to you. What I want is a great wedding among the people of the Altan Clan. With a happy smile that emanates from your face, not a marriage that you will not realize" he said.

Khan rubbed his face with both hands. He looked at Shanum with a bitter look. If he doesn't have amnesia. But there's no point in regretting that now. The only thing to do is keep moving. Facing error after error and correcting it, if possible. Reduce the impact of failure, if not possible.

And about this temporary marriage, the best solution, he said after living it, is not to contemplate it too deeply. He'll think about it. At least he can try to keep Shanum alive.

***

Today he will begin the treatment process of Shanum with his strength. For three days, Eej took care of the entire preparation. Including contacting the elders and the noble council. There was a long debate between them.

But upon hearing Chinua's bullying with her sinister face, that Shanum is a descendant of her brother. And he'll demand revenge against the Altan Clan for the life of his family, if Shanum is not helped. Hearing that the elders and the noble council fell silent, then stopped all their protests.

They are quite afraid of Chinua, because the woman is already very famous for sadism in radical football. And if Shanum is a descendant of the ruler of the Batbayar Clan, then the girl should be very suitable if juxtaposed with the Khan as the leader of the Altan Clan.

Eventually the two respected higher-ups in the Clan relented, and approved of this impromptu marriage. The preparation process is carried out marathon. The wedding was certainly done in Khan's mansion, because Shanum should not be moved to another place according to his condition.

This morning, they had already undergone a closed marriage process that was only attended by the closest family, representatives of clan elders and noble councils. The wedding procession went smoothly without any obstacles. Khan only needed to swipe the marriage vows and then fuse his energy with the marriage-specific spell.

They missed the bride's appointment, because Shanum couldn't do it. But it can be represented by Shanum's parents, and done by Dimas as his father. Afterwards, she and Shanum have been officially bonded as a legitimate couple in the marriage.

They left her alone inside Shanum's nursery. Everyone switched to enjoying the food and drinks served in the dining room. Khan did not come, he asked to eat in his room only. And waiting inside his room, the night came with a tense feeling.

And the time that awaited arrived. He has to start that process tonight. Khan started to cross the room with slow and careful steps. He approached Shanum's bed.

The man was nervous. But he continued to take off his clothes and neatly arranged them on the table next to the bed. Medical aids on Shanum have been removed all. Now the girl depends entirely on Khan and his strength.

The man pulled off the blanket from Shanum's body and gasped. Her girl is so beautiful. Khan could not describe his current feelings, seeing Shanum naked and helpless in bed. Shanum's mother took off her daughter's clothes and covered her body with a blanket.

The woman told Khan with a shy face. Khan responded with a nod and followed the wrong behavior in front of his mother-in-law. Then Raisa, Shanum's mother immediately walked out of the room, not wanting to linger in a situation that was enough to make her careless.

Khan swallowed with great difficulty. He was silent, looking tormented. Passion runs through Khan's veins. He tried to hold it back until he gritted his jaws tightly. He is a normal guy, however. Of course, it will react if you see your partner in the current condition.

"I'm sorry" Khan whispered. Then the man began to climb onto the bed, lying down and tilting his body carefully. Khan slowly pulled Shanum leaning towards him, he hugged Shanum gently, but remained tight.

Khan felt the meeting of their bodies instantly electrocute him. He tried to keep his hands on Shanum's waist. And do not try to caress and touch the skin that is as soft as velvet.

Oh, how hard he was to curb his current passion. How much he wanted to complete the actual unification ritual. His body was screaming in protest, wanting to continue any physical contact with his partner. Khan wanted to channel his frustration. This situation made it difficult to breathe and his knees trembled weakly.

Relax Khan. You have to start focusing and concentrating. Think about Shanum's recovery. You promised. Khan set his breath slowly. He closed his eyes and placed his lips on Shanum's forehead. Khan began to channel his power into Shanum's body.

As the energy from that power began to pour out from his body, Khan felt a jolt on Shanum's body, as well as a painful stab all over his body. The prick was excruciating, like thousands of needles were thrust simultaneously into his skin. Khan's trying to hold him back, he should be able to get through this. He can definitely finish it off.
