Seeing Ema's determination Marco felt lost, he wanted to protect her but seeing her determination he could only let her try.
He stopped releasing his power and sighed, gently holding Ema's face he turned it towards his, while gently gazing into her eyes.
His gentle gaze made Ema's determination grow further, seeing that her eyes were firm he asked the obvious. Asking in a pained voice "My dear…, are you sure this is what you want?"
She held his hands with hers, flashing a dazzling smile slowly nodding. At this moment no words were needed it was all too clear to see her determination.
Though Marco was happy with how determined Ema was to do something, he couldn't help but worry.
Seeing the atmosphere calming down Aphrodite took the chance to jump in. "That's why I will be accompanying her, I will personally ensure that Takemikazuchi will not take things too far."
Hearing Aphrodite's support, Marco reluctantly nodded and gave his consent. "Please be safe my dear, if you are in trouble just shout my name and I will rush to you no matter where you are."
Stroking Ema's head he continued "Just promise me that you will be safe please." Hearing Marco's earnest request Ema nodded and spoke "I will return stronger, and this time I will protect you my darling."
Hearing those word Marco's heart melted as he took her into his embrace.
Taking full advantage of this situation Ema also fully embraced her husband. They stayed like this for a while until Diya coughed.
Diya pointed at Aphrodite while speaking "I know that this bitch's word were extremely misleading an all but don't ignore me. Ema is not the only one that will be training you know."
Marco heart completely melted seeing the furious pouting Diya, he glanced at Ema separating them. He then disappeared, reappearing behind Diya while she was still pouting.
The moment he disappeared she was confused with where Marco went off to but the next second she felt bliss.
Marco scoped her up like a princess tightly embracing her. He slowly brought his face to the flushed face of Diya "I'm worried about you too you know."
He rubbed his face on Diya's while emphasising "If it were up to me you guys wouldn't need to fight but this world is not ideal…"
Before Marco could finish his sentence Diya kissed him passionately. Marco was surprised with Diya's sudden boldness.
Usually she was more reserved she perfectly fit the archetype of a shy girlfriend.
With her sudden bold action only a stunned Marco was left, she separated her lips from his. Her eyes became excessively loving as she held his face.
"I know, I know. You don't need to say anything, we your wives understand how you are."
She stepped off her husbands embrace, a perfect picture of a queen determined to protect her people. "Darling we want to protect you too."
She hugged him and continued "I was painful to watch you fight Lucifer you know. I understand how if you could both Ema and I wouldn't need to fight. It is the exact same from our point of view you dummy."
Hearing his wife's words, he simply looked at Ema only to see her nodding softly. Realising that his wives were also extremely worried about him he felt sweet yet sour.
All he could do now was to except that they were too weak and desperately needed strength.
