Cough!

Cough!

The moment Leo regained his consciousness, he immediately started coughing out the water that he had intake when he was drowned inside that small underground room. If only this person didn't arrive and saved him, then he would have certainly died inside. Now that he mentioned it, who was the one that saved him?

Quickly turning to look at the person in front of him, Leo immediately realized that it was actually that little girl that slapped him yesterday.

"You...!" Leo was stunned, seeing that it was actually his fiancée Elizabeth that had saved him from the brink of sure death.

"Hmph!" Elizabeth coldly harrumphs at Leo.

Suddenly, Leo immediately noticed something strange. The man who was pumping his chest was definitely not the person that had given him the mouth-to-mouth recitation, just by basing on his position of being unable to reach his mouth. Therefore.....

"You kissed me?!" Leo exclaimed while pointing in disbelief at Elizabeth.

"Wha... what ki... kiss? It wasn't a ki... kiss, I was only giving you some air to save you!" Elizabeth replied while feeling flustered. Of course, she knew of the importance of a kiss despite being young, since just like Leo, she was also born from a family of a Mage, and a much more powerful that the Heart Noble Household on top of that too, and not to mention she was the future Heir of the Snow Noble Household as well, hence she was, of course, taught a much stricter training and knowledge compared to the majority others. This includes the knowledge that a kiss is something that should only be given to people she loves, and a kiss to the lips of another person, specifically of the opposite gender, excluding her father, of course, means that she loves that person and is willing to be with him for her entire lifetime. Simply put, becoming that person's wife. And since she had given her kiss to Leo, then that means she has now become his wife.

Without any hesitation, Leo pulled Elizabeth towards him and exclaimed in irritation, "Give me back my kiss!"

Elizabeth was clueless about what Leo meant, so she asked, "Huh? What do you mean about giving you back your kiss?"

"My kiss, that thing you did to me was a kiss, and my mother has said to me that it means we are now married. But I don't want to be married yet, so give me that kiss!" Leo said while shaking Elizabeth's shoulder. Just like Elizabeth, he also long knew about the meaning of a kiss. His mother has said to him a year ago that if a woman kissed him, it means the both of them have become husband and wife. In layman's term, he and Elizabeth are now married. But he's still 5 years old, still too young to even consider marriage, so he naturally doesn't want that yet.

Hearing Leo's words, Elizabeth immediately felt enraged and exclaimed, "Who said that I also want to be married?! If it wasn't for the sake of saving you, then I wouldn't even get close to you, not to mention kiss you!"

"Then return my kiss!" Leo said before forcefully kissing Elizabeth's lips. Half a second later, he parted his lips from hers as he said, "Good, now we are no longer married, pweh~!"

Seeing Leo showing how grateful he was that he wouldn't be married to her, Elizabeth immediately forgets about that kiss just now as she became even angrier, "I also don't want to become your wife, so you need to kiss me again!"

"What?!" Leo was immediately dumbfounded. What was this girl even talking about? Him kissing her has already invalidated their marriage, which also means she's no longer his wife. If he indeed gave her another kiss, then that means they are married again.

Elizabeth quickly explained, "It was me that had kissed you first, which means that I have turned from being a fiancée into your wife. But that kiss just now was your kiss and not mine, which means that you have now turned from being a fiancé into my husband!"

"No way I would do that! That's not even the meaning behind a kiss!" Leo finally understood why Elizabeth wanted him to kiss her again. For her, once she kissed him then that means she's now his wife, on the other hand, unless he kissed her back, then he wouldn't be her husband yet. But now that he has also kissed her, then she now believes that he's her husband. As a result, they are now husband and wife, compared to what they were before, which was wife and fiancé.

"Since you won't do it and you also believe that I'm wrong, then I will kiss you instead!" Elizabeth said before suddenly pulling Leo and forcefully kissing his lips. She then parted her lips from his and said, "Now I'm no longer your wife!"

"Now I understand, you, Elizabeth, are an insane person!" Leo, who was still dumbfounded with that kiss, just now fully believes that Elizabeth wasn't normal, but rather an insane girl. Just when did becoming a husband and wife became who kiss and who doesn't kiss? That's just an absurd way of thinking things! He believes one hundred percent that there is no such thing in existence that if a person kissed another person with the opposite gender, then the former would become married to the latter, but if that latter doesn't kiss back the former then it would stay as only the former being married to the latter and the latter isn't yet married to the former. Just how stupid is that kind of logic? Then doesn't that mean he can have multiple wives but at the same time only having one wife as long as he only kisses one girl back while he wouldn't kiss back the other girls? Such kind of logic is only the logic of insane people!

"Who are you calling inside?! I'm still a very sane person! It is you on the other hand that is insane!" Elizabeth exclaimed in anger.

"No, you are insane! Even if you go ahead and ask everyone about who's insane between the both of us, I assure you that all of them would certainly be pointing at you after hearing that kind of logic behind kissing and being a husband and wife!" Leo shook his head while sneering inwardly.

"Then how about you go ahead and explain to me what's the meaning behind a kiss!" Elizabeth said while crossing both her hands together.

Leo heaves a long sigh before calmly starting to explain, "The meaning behind a kiss is, no matter who kissed who first, both of them would still become each other's husband and wife, or otherwise more commonly called as they are now both married with each other. That also means that, if one of them wanted to divorce the other, then either one of them can kiss the other and they would then be considered as off."

"Tch!" Elizabeth rolled her eyes after hearing Leo's explanation. For her, his explanation was unfair. Why? Well...

"Then what do you do if only the other one loves the other while that latter doesn't love back? That's so unfair for the former, right? The former should still be given the equal rights to become husband or wife to the latter, even if the latter doesn't love the former!" Elizabeth replied, seemingly sounding very reasonable.

Leo's brain seemingly experienced an explosion of Magic bombs the moment Elizabeth finished her words.

It wasn't only Leo experiencing that, even Vismot and everyone else whom were just watching Leo and Elizabeth having an interesting and pure argument between innocent kids were speechless at her words. Though unlike Leo, it only took them half a second too easily understood why Elizabeth was thinking that way. On the other hand, Leo was only finally able to understand the reason why after a minute and a half of analyzing Elizabeth's reply.

"Now I completely understand you. Let me guess, you have a lot of mothers, am I correct?" Leo asked in confirmation.

Contrary to Leo's expectations, Elizabeth shook her head and said, "No, I only have one mother."

Leo was stunned for a second before quickly recollecting his thoughts as he finally realized that his question was wrong, "No, what I mean is, does your father have a lot of wives?"

Hearing Leo's new question, Elizabeth nodded her head repeatedly and replied, "Yes, and that's what I meant about my explanation to you. My father only loves my mother, but because there are other women that also love him, he decided to let them kiss him while he won't kiss back so that they will have equal rights to become his wife."

"Now I know, your Snow Noble Household is encouraging harem, that's why you're thinking like that, and I'm definitely sure that your mother only used to explain that to you so that you won't be able to see the complicated aspect of harems. Allow me to inform you this in the shortest way possible, what your mother really meant to say to you is, harems are the epitome of trouble, and to explain and make you understand the reason behind such a troublesome thing is even more troublesome. That's why your mother explained it in such an absurd way." Leo explained. He then added, "Your mother is now one of the people I admire as she is one of the smartest people I have ever know in my entire life."

Deep in Elizabeth's mind, she only understands the last thing that Leo had said, specifically about he admires her mother. She puffed up her plywood breast and said proudly, "Hmph! Of course, my mother is the smartest. If you want, I can also make you her husband, I think she would agree to let you kiss her lips."

Leo can't help sneering inwardly as he was able to quickly understand just by basing on Elizabeth's reply that she didn't understand any of his words at all except for the last part.

"No?" Elizabeth asked in confirmation.

Hearing Elizabeth's question, Leo simply shook his head to refuse Elizabeth's 'stupid,' suggestion before he slowly stood up from the ground and patting off the dirt from his clothes while silently thinking in his mind, "I can't help thinking whether the Snow Noble Household is perhaps scamming my father by arranging a marriage between me and a fake Heir. I believe that no one in the entire Celestial World would think of giving the highest position of their Noble Household to such a stupid person like Elizabeth, not to mention one of the Silver Kingdom's Five Major Noble Households like the Snow Noble Household."

"You're really stupid, you didn't even realize just how much benefits you could have gotten if you have only accepted my proposal on becoming my mother's husband." Elizabeth shook her head to express her disappointment at Leo's reply.

"Yep, she's indeed a blockhead..." Leo rolled his eyes.
