"Lord Odin, why? Why are you giving me away?"
Rossweisse wailed at Odin, her face streaked with tears.
Everyone around her exchanged bewildered glances. This was the finest Valkyrie of Norse? Really?
With Rossweisse making such a scene, Odin's composure faltered. Seriously? I just called you the best, and now you're crying?
"Rossweisse, this is a contribution for the Norse. Besides, up until now, you haven't even managed to find a single hero, right? This is a good match for you."
"Just because I haven't found a single hero all these years, and my lack of a boyfriend matches my age, doesn't mean I don't want one! I do want a boyfriend, but I just can't find one! What am I supposed to do?"
"Exactly, and now you have one," Odin continued. "Look, he's a young, powerful fighter, who has tamed Fenrir and is the sole heir of the House of Demon. Talk about a perfect catch!"
"Perfect catch... high, rich, and handsome~ hehe~"
In just a few words, Odin had completely swayed Rossweisse.
And he wasn't wrong. August was indeed a rare catch—handsome, wealthy, powerful, with a significant position and influence. He was the epitome of perfection.
In the end, Rossweisse gazed at August with a mix of shyness and burning desire, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
What's wrong with this woman?
"Hey, old man, can we possibly reconsider?"
"Huh? Why? Isn't Rossweisse a good choice? Just look at her figure and her physique! And I can assure you, she's never been with any man. Her first kiss, her first night—everything is untouched!"
August was at a loss for words. Was this really the chief god of Norse mythology? He sounded more like a brothel madam trying to sell off her best asset.
Hearing August's hesitation, Rossweisse looked at him with eyes like a small animal about to be abandoned by its owner, ready to burst into tears at any moment. Was this really the same woman who had just been wailing at Odin?
"What, are you not satisfied with her?"
"I just feel like this woman might be too easily led astray. It's not very reassuring," August replied.
Odin glanced at Rossweisse and then, surprisingly, nodded.
This left August speechless. You're trying to matchmake, yet even you don't have faith in your own choice?
"Listen, kid," Odin said. "Despite Rossweisse's many flaws, she's the ideal candidate for marriage. If you marry her, I guarantee you won't have to lift a finger—she'll take care of everything."
After leaving the scene, August returned to his room, eager to open the system and start drawing gacha.
It had been a long time since his last draw, and August was thrilled at the opportunity.
Six advanced gacha draws—this was an unexpected delight.
Opening the draw panel, he took a moment to compose himself, washing his hands thoroughly before beginning the process.
As the gacha wheel began to spin, August's heart pounded with anticipation.
