She gave the girl a moment to process what she said, but it looked she had been slapped in the face at just hearing those words.
"I'm so sorry for the mix up. I hope you understand that he cannot keep his pro-"
"IS THIS A JOKE?!" Chi-Chi exploded, her eyes blazing with fury. "HOW COULD YOU MAKE SUCH A PROMISE TO ME?! WERE YOU JUST BEING CRUEL?!" She yelled directly at Kakarot, who backed away fearfully.
Gine knew Chi-Chi was just a weak human, but her motherly instincts caused her to raise her guard for her son. She figured the girl would take this news poorly with what her son told her of the princess's temper but was taken aback by seeing just how fearsome she was.
"I-I'm sorry Chi-Chi. I wasn't being mean, I swear!" Kakarot tried to explain. "I-I just thought marriage was some kind of food or something!"
"SOME... SOME KIND OF FOOD?!" Chi-Chi repeated, sounding aghast. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHO THINKS MARRIAGE MEANS FOOD?!"
Kakarot fumbled for something to say. "Really, I mean it! I-I just didn't know what that word meant until I asked my mom about it, that's all! But she's right, I can't... marry you yet."
His explanation only made her angrier "OH?! AND WHY IS THAT?! YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT MARRIAGE MEANS NOW, SO WHY CAN'T YOU MARRY ME?! DON'T YOU LIKE ME?! OR IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT?!"
"NO!" Kakarot said indignantly. "I-I do like you! It's just that...I-uh...we're-"
"THEN WHAT?!" She shouted, too enraged to wait for an answer. "ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID?!"
Gine stepped forward. "HEY!" She shouted back, startling Chi-Chi. "Don't you dare speak to my son like that!" She chastised her. Gine wasn't going to interrupt Kakarot trying to sort this mess out with Chi-Chi, but she had to put her foot down when the girl started disparaging him.
Chi-Chi regained her wits, and her gaze hardened at Gine. "WELL, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO DUMB AS TO NOT KNOW SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES! AND PLAY TRICKS ON MY HEART!"
Gine was highly offended by her outburst, as if this little brat hadn't even listened to what she just said about not insulting her child. Both the Saiyan and motherly parts of her wanted to pound Chi-Chi into the ground, but she channeled whatever restraint she had left and addressed her calmly.
"My son is many things, but he is not stupid, nor the kind of person who would play tricks. He is the kindest soul you would ever meet. After all, didn't he save your kingdom?" She reminded her.
Chi-Chi's expression softened a little, but still unbelieving.
"Yes, he did." She said, at least acknowledging the truth of his good deeds. Then she looked back towards Kakarot. "But... you really didn't know what marriage meant?"
"No, I didn't" Kakarot said with as much honesty as he could.
Gine relaxed a little but remained stern. "I'm not sure if he told you but we live in a rather isolated place. He was born and raised there his whole life, and I home schooled him as best I could, but there are some customs in normal human society he has not yet learned about. And the concept of matrimony was one of them."
Chi-Chi's anger completely faded, she finally believed Gine and the anger was replaced with guilt and shame at what she had just said.
"Now I ask that you apologize to him." Gine ordered. "No one who is truly getting married should ever speak to a spouse the way you did."
That one sentence nearly crushed Chi-Chi's spirit, as all her features sagged and looked down. Shame overwhelmed her as she chewed on Gine's words. She was right. A loving wife would never even dare to dream of acting so horribly mean to her handsome husband.
She turned to Kakarot, but she couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye. Her face hidden and tears threatening to fall.
"Kakarot... I'm..." She tried to force the words out, her throat choking up. "..I'm sorry I yelled at you. You didn't do anything wrong for not knowing what I wanted from you, and... y-you don't have to marry me if you don't want to." Saying that last part made the tears fall. She was so looking forward to finally taking this young and handsome savior of her home as her future husband. But now...it was all for not.
Through this entire exchange, the villagers and the Ox-king stayed deathly quiet. He was ready to step in to defend Chi-Chi, if need be, but now disappointment took over his features as his daughter apologized to the boy who saved them. He was very sad she won't be marrying him after all, but having known his daughter better than anybody, he did agree that her temper did get the better of her sometimes. A fiery young woman, just like her mother.
