Chapter 93
Epilogueville’s Favorites
I’ve been busy with a lot of things since I got back from Ruziaro to Mistria.
Go to the Wang capital to report to Lord Sunnig on what happened in Ruziaro, to meet Rain and Mocha, and to accompany Nefra’s research. Even after returning to Kruge, he was entangled in a feast hosted by the Phantoms, consoling Unica, who had been left behind to persevere, and giving souvenirs to Raz, who remained in the Aspinel family.
After an incident that would shape the future of the country, it might not be enough to take. But it’s all important to me right now.
The Royal Family of Luziaro had received a letter of thanks once again. There were times when a crow came to deliver a suspicious letter. Roselint and Tiga look fine.
After three months of doing so, my neighborhood finally settled down.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on a date with Sonia.
I have a luxuriously discreet, happy time of tea overlooking the stars in the nearby meadows.
… I’m the one who invited you.
I’m here tonight with a certain determination. I’m nervous and I don’t really understand the taste of tea, but isn’t Sonia distracting me?
“Hehe, Unika and Kohaku are totally close.”
“… right”
If you look, Unica was running lazily through the meadows. I’m worried that the tense caught kohaku wouldn’t blow up, but it was certainly a smiling sight. Those two are strangely close. As much as I think you’re discussing something about us, I’m talking to “Hin” and “Nyan”.
As the wind passed for a while at night, Kushun, and Sonia’s shoulders swayed. I rush off my jacket.
“Fine.”
“You might catch a cold”
Forced to wear it, Sonia laughed like a prank and hugged me in the arm. Warm.
“Right. Sometimes you can catch a cold already. I’ll be careful.”
“Oh, you’re hurt.”
“Ville, that’s all. I made a fuss just by cutting my finger a little before, and it’s been a little overprotective lately.”
It’s natural to worry.
Sonia’s body is no different from normal people anymore. The effect of rose spiritual water also disappears, and rose jewels are letting go. It’s obvious when it comes to the obvious, but injuries and illnesses don’t heal instantly.
Thanks to a deal with an angel, I didn’t have to worry about the afterlife that was declared to Ambert.
That in itself is something to be pleased with. I can live as a normal witch without feeling hindered by anyone. All the abominable causes of the past have been cut off.
Because I gave up, if I wanted, it would come true. Sonia and I are delighted from the bottom of our hearts about that.
… If I had used rose jewels, I would have promised Sonia I would have gotten them when I had to. I’m honestly relieved.
But I was in pain.
Human beings are not strange whenever and wherever they die.
One day suddenly, the fear of losing one’s beloved. Everyone lives with that possibility.
It would be impossible for me to be overprotective against Sonia.
I can’t stand mourning Sonia. Just imagine it darkens in front of you.
The desire to protect was on the other hand stronger. I know Sonia doesn’t want me to protect her.
But still.
…………
I made sure the Kohakus were far away and took a deep breath.
Sonia releases her body and tilts her neck.
“Ville? What’s going on?
I’ve been really busy these past three months.
I’ve been preparing Sonia not to notice. Talk to Rain to get through the muscles or get what you need.
… Well, as far as Sonia’s laughing just a little bit, I guess it was a prospect.
“Sonia. We need to talk about something important…. I’m going to stop being your squire tonight.”
“Yes. Stop. What do you do?
“I’m by your side unchanged. I’ll continue to dedicate my life’s loyalty, and externally, I don’t mind staying in the lead. But I…”
I panicked when I realized I was wearing it to Sonia, trying to get my hands in my jacket pocket. Sonia shrugged and laughed, hugging me and turning away. I managed to explore my pockets in that gap and retrieve the bumps, but I fell for my stupidity.
No, that’ll be enough. You can’t beat Sonia anyway, and she won’t abandon me where I hit her somewhat poorly.
It’s all right.
“Sonia, I want you to take this”
Refresh your mind, raise your face, open the little box and show Sonia.
“Marry me.”
I want to be a husband, not a squire. That’s what I mean.
Instead of three months, I’ve been thinking about it since the day I was married to Sonia.
Lovers are not enough. I can’t move when I have to.
I want to be a relationship where we can interfere with each other and respect each other. I want to be a real family with Sonia.
Ask for the fearful Sonia reaction. It was different from any reaction I expected.
He opened his red copper eyes and solidified. I thought you were guessing tonight’s proposal, didn’t you?
“Why?”
“Hmm?”
“Why did you make it a ring?
In Mistria, when applying for marriage, she is taught to give her vows. Show love and readiness by sharing a portion of your wealth.
What you give varies according to class, region, personal taste, etc. I may give you land, houses, flowers and vegetables that I have grown again, but accessories that I can wear will be common.
Items often include necklaces, bracelets, brooches, etc. It’s a gift with a lifetime of temper. There are often luxurious gems scattered all over the place.
But what I chose was a simple metal ring.
It doesn’t even have one of the gems on it, but the material itself is very expensive. In addition to the Chivalry paycheck, finding gaps every day is a crystal of wealth that has been stored hunting harmful warcraft.
It glows in a strange golden colour in the light of the moon because it contains high purity magic.
Sonia would know how rarely this ring is worth. You must be telling me how I really am.
I ordered bespoke from the decorator who introduced me to Theo. It has been confirmed many times that such a plain design is okay.
I had a lot to worry about, too.
It was good what Sonia would wear instead of rose jewels.
But I don’t like necklaces and bracelets in association with restraints. I got lost with the brooch, but it was hard to think about the design and I declined. Depending on the fashion, I wasn’t sure about the taste.
In that regard, a simple ring would not interfere with coordination either. Most importantly, I’m happy every time I get into my sight.
But has Sonia been so surprised at my choice disappointed me?
I should have studied Sonia’s preferences a little more. Maybe I should have asked you what you wanted.
Now I want to cry.
“I’m sorry. If you don’t like it, I’ll get you something else. But I’m positive about the marriage.”
“You didn’t say that you didn’t like it. I’m just surprised it was a ring more than anything else. I thought you knew.”
“? Is there something in the ring?… Oh, maybe Nefra brought it someday -”
“Because it’s not. Don’t remind me of such a nasty thing at this lovely moment”
When I was confused, Sonia laughed in a tickling voice after a while. And I’ve offered my hand.
“Fix it. On the pharmacopoeia.”
“Will you take it”
“Yeah, sure. I’ve never seen such a delightful gift. I like it.”
“Huh!”
I filled my chest with joy, while putting a ring in Sonia’s left hand pharmacopoeia finger. I hadn’t really thought about the size, but it was miraculously perfect. My hands shook.
Sonia was happily touching the ring. Apparently, you really liked it. Oh, you’re adorable.
“Thanks, Ville. I’ll take care of it forever.”
“I’m the one who’s gonna take care of it for the rest of my life… and make sure I’m happy”
When I was so impressed and hugged, Sonia hugged me, too. Bliss.
“Hey, Ville. I need a favor.”
“What? Ask me anything now.”
“Introduce me to the workshop where I made this ring. I want to give you the same thing.”
“That’s… the ornament wouldn’t suit me. By and large, receiving expensive items from women is…”
“You want to be in a reciprocal relationship, don’t you? That would be nice. Besides, if I wore a ring that matched the couple’s testimony, I’d think it would be nice…… I really don’t like it?
…………
In the end, I can’t resist Sonia where I became my husband from a squire. Anyway, it’s the happiest thing for me that makes her happy.
And I’m a little embarrassed about the accessories that go with it, but it’s not bad if it’s a testament to the couple. No, it could rather be the best.
When I agreed, Sonia laughed happily ever after. My shoulders lose strength and I exhale deeply.
Looks like you’ve been pretty nervous.
“Oh. I was wondering what I would do if they refused. Sonia would have been way overprotective of me. I couldn’t help but be anxious that you didn’t trust me.”
I wonder if it was a distracted recoil, it was a lot lighter than that.
Sonia is smiling bitterly.
“Well, yeah. The Ville we just met was dangerous, and I had my body secrets and I couldn’t show the gaps so easily. But in Ruziaro, Ville gave me a lot of support, and I stopped worrying about life expectancy. Maybe the shoulder’s loaded.”
Sonia looked up to the starry sky.
“Greed, isn’t it? I have robbed others of their future. I’m standing on top of so many sacrifices that I can be happier and forgiven.”
I kept my mouth shut to choose the words, but in the end I told them to keep my heart shut.
“If not forgiven, I want. Live as you please. Mostly, without Sonia, it would have been worse. I’m really glad Sonia’s here. There are a lot of other people saved besides me.”
That’s how I feel.
After a while, Sonia looked up at me with her eyes full of tea.
“Right. I’ve said things that don’t look like me. Keep up the good work and live as you please. That’s why I’ve been working so hard.”
“Oh. I won’t shy away from anyone”
Ask what you want to try.
“Hehe, let’s build your father’s grave first and report on your marriage. After that, we’ll rebuild the mansion. I’d like to make it a little smaller and brighter.”
“Right. What about the wedding?
“If you want to do it, you should talk to your brother about the timing, because I want to invite him to Eudia. I’m going to have to ask Phantom and Coral for a lot of help.”
“Ugh… I’m getting nervous again”
I’m talking about Phantom and Lord Sunnig. If you report a marriage, you’ll threaten me with something.
But let’s take it spoiled. This happiness is worth more than that.
Sonia laughed innocently, knowing or not my grief.
Breathe into the look of fun talking about the future. How beautiful. I’m gonna be able to watch this smile next door for the rest of my life.
I feel like all the hard thoughts of the past will pay off.
“Tomorrow, you’ll be busy again. I enjoyed loving my squire, but it seems interesting to devote myself to my husband. And…”
I blushed at the sneaky words. I’m quick. Sounds like Calm Sonia floats a little too usually.
The best night of my life was updated.
The day will come when I will think so again and again.
As long as I’m next to my beloved witch (Sonia), who gets more beautiful every day without rose jewels, I’m the happiest person in the world.
