#orv novel chapter 388

[pttucker]

Yup, the match-making system of had definitely lost a lot of its marbles, hadn't it? Before the face of the third candidate could appear, I summoned up all my courage and shouted out. "No, hang on a minute! I don't have any thoughts of marriage yet!" The Judge lowered his head as if he wanted to apologise and backed off. [If the esteemed Prince isn't ready yet, then the introduction of the next candidate can be delayed until the next time…] [Hmm… I wonder who'll be able to tame this stubborn Prince of ours.]

*SCREAMING*

We all agree on who was about to show up as the third option, right? We all know who it was gonna be? Right?

Oh man, I just about fell out of my chair and rolled around on the floor when the Candidates started to appear. I know everyone in the entire Star Stream seems to love their shipping, Uriel and Persephone in particular, but I WAS NOT PREPARED.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, I was maybe a little prepared for some teasing since Persephone loves to tease him about his (so far nonexistent) love life but this whole little matchmaking presentation from a Judge of the Underworld was more than I could have ever imagined. The Judge literally saying that maybe Sangah is out of Dokja's league adakjfldjfskfs.

And let's not forget, we're literally right in the middle of a massive battle that's about to go sideways due to the meddling of a certain archangel. But, you know, priorities.

I swear...what even is this novel? How am I ever gonna explain any of this to anyone?

Oh man, and then after teasing him all this time about Sangah and Joonghyuk (…and then Joonghyuk again…) Persephone just casually drops Bihyung into the conversation.

Bihyung.

Which… not a ship I’ve ever considered... even if they do have a baby together. (Wow, this story is weird isn’t it?)

But, you know what? You do you, Dokja! I support your strange but unique life choices!

(Dokja does not want this. Dokja does not want any of this.)

[Nebula, < Underworld >, has opened a portal that will summon you.] Tsu-chuchuchuchut! Now originally, it was not easy to leave beyond the scenario's boundaries when a massive scenario was already underway. However, the had willingly spent an enormous amount of Probability for my sake. I was really grateful for that. I might be called their successor, but, I haven't even paid them a proper visit to say hello after getting their help the last time… Now that I thought about it, I was kind of apprehensive, too; what if the reason for them permitting my entry without any issues was to beat me up for not visiting the until now?

Dokja, why is your first response to anyone attempting to help you “they're angry at me and want to get close to me so they can beat me up.”

Actually, no, scratch that, why is your first response to someone who cares about you attempting to help you “they're angry at me and want to get close to me so they can beat me up.”

Because I have seen you accept the help from random strangers without anything even remotely close to this crossing your mind but the instant you’ve formed even the teeniest bond with someone you immediately assume they have ulterior motives for wanting to help you. Either to better themselves, to trick or manipulate you, to outright hurt you, or all of the above.

I mean, I know why, this is a rhetorical question after all, but still.

Ughhhhhh and the way he reads the Judges' and army's intention as violent because he assumes they're there to be violent when in fact they're literally moved to tears by the fact that their beloved Prince has finally come back to the Underworld.

And the way he says that he's never had such a warm reception and how it's making the inside of his brain go all soft and mushy. 😭

Which, on that topic...Dokja, my guy, you have absolutely had receptions just as warm, you just mentally refuse to acknowledge them because you think everyone is secretly barely tolerating your presence because you're sometimes useful and this is the first time it's become so obvious that literally even you can't deny it.

The conversation we shared had this festive holiday vibe to it. Since I didn't have any experience in things like this, I couldn't figure out at all on how to carry on with the conversation.

You’re breaking my heart. 😭😭😭
