Forever Beside You (2)

As the morning dawned, the rain that had been falling heavily last night disappeared as though it never even existed. The bright morning sun spread warmth and shone gently on the wet earth.

The remnants of the rain were absorbed completely into the ground.

The sun cast a delicate light from the sky as if announcing the beginning of winter. While it cannot be said that the weather was clear, it was good enough to send Lady Exia on her way back home.

Forming a small travelling group, Lady Exia was accompanied by the escorts she came with and several knights from Lukrovs castle.

Hmm, I was willing to send her back immediately even if the storm didnt break.

Lukrov whispered in her ear.

Although it was early in the morning preparations were made quickly. By the time breakfast started, all preparations to send Lady Exia back home were ready.

Lady Exia wants to see Chizuru-sama before she leaves

Nadal came to deliver the message to Chizuru and Lukrov who were still in the bedroom.

He had entered just as Chizuru was helping Lukrov get dressed. The young Nadal immediately blushed when he saw the intimate atmosphere between the lovers.

Lukrov glanced back at Chizuru, who was adjusting the belt behind him, and silently asked what she wanted to do about this request.

Chizuru hesitated for a moment.

If possible, I dont want to meet Exia anymore.

Nevertheless, it should be quite important for Chizuru to stand proudly next to him and see Lady Exia, who seems to be still seeking a marriage with Lukrov. That was why Lukrov was giving Chizuru a choice where he normally would not in such matters.

I understand. Ill go.

As Chizuru responded bravely, Nadal sighed with relief, and Lukrov looked at her with admiration.

If you dont like it, you can decline her request, Chizuru. Ill warn that woman.

No Its okay. Its much more persuasive if Im by your side, isnt it? I think its better to be clear here because she looks like a person who would likely get carried away.

Nadal laughed aloud at Chizurus words.

Lukrov-sama, please marry Chizuru as soon as possible! If such a person becomes the mistress of this castle, I will work ten times harder than I do now.

I know.

Lukrov replied. Then, with a passionate look toward Chizuru, he added, Immediately.

Chizurus cheeks flushed red from the determination in his eyes.

How long would it take for Chizuru to get used to Lukrovs straightforward passion? Even though she was originally a modest Japanese person with a modest conception of affection, Lukrov was beautiful enough to appear in foreign magazines! Just staring at him made her lose strength in her knees.

It had not changed even after 14 years On the contrary, the savior knight of the kingdom seemed to have become even more attractive.

He gently put his hand against Chizurus blushing cheeks.

Thats why you should dress like the mistress of the castle and show that horsewoman, that you are my wife. Nadal, call Arde right away.

Nadal replied, Yes, and quickly left the room.

Chizuru, who was left behind, stared at her future husband. His face made her remember the anxiety she felt last night and the promise they made again.

Because Ill be by your side forever.

The question right now was when would he get used to it, when would his mind be at ease from the anxiety that weighed heavily on his mind? Would Chizuru disappear like a bubble one day? That was the main reason he kept asking for her promise.

That was why Chizuru must never break this promise.

Its an exaggeration to describe it as showing off but Im happy to be by your side Lukrov.

When she confessed that, he turned around and hugged her tightly as if he were trying to squeeze something out of Chizuru.

Chizuru waited for Lukrov to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything, he just hugged her tightly.
