It was then time to fulfil her marriage quest. I was ready. Gellia wanted to settle a score with another noble family. She was insulted for their low status as a noble. I could go as her champion and beat up the champion of the enemy family. That was something that I was willing to do. The match was set up. I would fight him in the arena along with the other gladiator fights. I made sure Cassius and Caelus were safe in the crowds. Noble feuds can be really deadly. When the day came, I made my way to the arena. She was there with her father. Appius Florius Vopiscus was a middle aged man. He was the one that insulted Gellia and her father. Because he was the one challenged, it was on him to pay for a gladiator or some other man to fight as their family champion. Apparently, he settled on a gang leader from the streets. He was not a man to be messed with. It remained to be seen if that meant he could hang with me in the arena. He could not. There was nothing that he could do. I ran circles around him before killing him. That was one gang leader off their streets. I got cheered for it.
Personally, it was way too easy. I won, and that was it. Gellia was wooed and ready to marry me. I asked her right away. I had already paid her father for her head. She said yes and I took her to the temple. The goddess of love was the deity who presided over marriages. They wanted a large fee. I paid it. A priestess came and gave us a pair of rings that were blessed. After repeating the words of the rite and giving our eternal vows, we were married. I was happy. She was happy. That was good for me. It meant that our children together would be nobles. She was not going to want to live in a small house. She was a woman of means. Nobles had a high standard for living conditions. Luckily, I had a nice manor in Ainon Province waiting for me. She would be the lady of the manor. My home in Irab City was left to be managed by Cassius. If I was leaving the province, my property still needed to be maintained. He was the older brother of the twins. He was cohabiting with Peigi. She could stay with him. The house in Utinum City could be managed by Caelus. Artoria could stay with him there.
Quickly, we made our way to Mazaca Village. It took a boat and then riding on horseback to get there. Gellia was a better rider than me, so she took the reigns. Smiling, I relaxed as she cuddled against me. When we got there, I gave her the full tour of the grounds. It was clear that she really liked it. This was her home now. Now that we were married, it was time for me to get an heir. Aelia and Tadia were already pregnant with my children. I did not need to tell her that. It was my business. Aelia, Kaeso and Tadia would serve us in the manor. They were comfort slaves, but they did not have no prohibitions against working. They had a decent work ethic. Kaeso was male, so he could not get pregnant. That would not be good. I would have to get a pretty slave for him to breed. His genetics needed to be passed down to the next generation so that I could profit off of it. Gellia was down to fuck every night. Being the representative of her father was great for her. However, it meant that she had to keep herself held up to a very high standard. Gellia could not play around like her other six sisters.
