chapter 15
15. Reunion
Tina tried to calm her emotions, but her emotions continued to run amok as she felt Froden’s body temperature and breath through her clothes. Did she love this person this much. Did she want to see one of my feelings so much that she couldn’t control it?
She lifted her head from Froden’s arms and tried to look at him. Worried that she would disappear again if she released the power she gave her body for even a moment, Froden, who had been holding onto her tightly, loosened her body and looked at Tina as she wriggled in her arms.
“Why are you like this, young lady?”
I used to call her by her first name, but now why do I call her Lady, making me feel a sense of distance? His face was filled with dissatisfaction at the sudden name change. Until just now, I had tried to look at him with moist eyes and an expression full of love. Until he calls it that.
“Young lady?”
Froden, not recognizing Tina’s feelings, called again. Her face, which looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment, was already back to normal.
“Nothing. It’s just that Young master hugged his body so tightly that he was frustrated.”
Still, Tina didn’t forget her smile. Even though she felt sad for a moment, she was so happy that she could see him through her own body instead of seeing him through the eyes of a bystander.
Of course, there was also an uneasy mind. As much as I was suddenly taken away and taken away, it is a situation where I do not know when I will be taken away again.
I don’t think it’s because I’m talking about this to Young master and I’m adding one more worry. I want to run to him and propose to him after I solve it completely.
“What are you thinking so deeply about? I didn’t even look at the face of my fiancé whom I hadn’t seen in a while.”
Froden untied his arms around her body and held Tina’s face, fixing her eyes on her. The forced eye contact was more embarrassing than I thought. He chuckled as he worried that her face might not have been full of blush as it heated up.
“I am so happy just to be able to look at the young lady like this. The young lady has already become everything in my life, and has become the pillar that supports my life. It felt like my heart would grow cold if I couldn’t see you even for a day, so I wanted to run and hug you and whisper I love you.”
His direct words whenever he heard them made Tina wonder if her face would explode from the heat. Who is to blame for this unsteady heart and emotions that are shaken by her every word?
“You don’t know how happy I am to finally have that wish come true today. I love you, Tina.”
She tried to respond to the love confession that she brought out without hesitation, but her mouth fell shut when her name was called again in that voice. It was as if honey had been put on her mouth. Obviously, at that time, I decided to make up my mind and tell him that I love him when I was healed, but why is it not as easy as I thought now?
I felt my mouth try to open but then close, and my pupils sway in all directions. I wanted to quickly pour out excuses for fear of being seen as avoiding his love confession because it was burdensome, but even that was not easy.
Even when Froden saw Tina like that, she was smiling as if she was just lovable. How can people be so consistent?
“Young lady. Please don’t bite.”
Even before I could be puzzled by those words, his face came closer. There was a strange atmosphere that was different from the look that approached when we hugged. Her intuition as a woman stood in the sight of Froden with her eyes lightly closed. This is it
She approached slowly and as she stared at his face, she suddenly got scared and closed her eyes. She was right in front of her eyes and she had no reason to look at his face and she wasn’t confident.
Something soft touched my lips. The warm yet soft feeling closed her already closed eyes even tighter. The smell of his flesh tickles your nose, and his breath irritates your skin. Lips are blocked by him and they are having a sweet time.
This is, yes. It’s a kiss.
It took time for the brain to accept the information. Exactly when Froden pursed his lips and looked into his eyes with a blushing face. Then, Tina realized that she had kissed him for the first time. It’s been two years since her engagement.
The words lingered in my head.
“When she was about to lose her daughter, she made up her mind. Never again, never again will I lose you in front of her. When I can hold it, I want to hold your hand without hesitation and keep it by my side.”
With that said, he took a step back from Tina, who continued to keep her silence. Then, taking a small case from her bosom, he knelt down on her and held out her arm as he opened the case.
“The daughter of Countess Tina Erabasta. Will you please marry me? I want to spend my whole life with you.”
I stared blankly at her sparkling ring, reflected in the lights in her room.
Since I got engaged, I have to propose too. From now on, the stupid thoughts have been running through my head. No sudden visits, no hugs, no kisses, and no marriage proposals. Yeah it feels like a dream All of this feels unrealistic.
“Young master.”
I barely opened my mouth. A mouth that opens with a kiss. It’s not a cursed princess from a fairy tale, what is this? As another stupid thought raced through her head, Tina closed her eyes once and then opened them. When she saw Froden still in her open vision, she made up her mind.
“I wanted to do the engagement application and marriage proposal first, but this time I lost the lead.”
When she opened her mouth, completely different words came out. Truly startled, Tina covered her mouth and cleared her throat as she looked at his soft smile.
“It is an honor, Proden Excellent Young master. Will you please let me stay by his side and enjoy the joy of being together for the rest of my life?”
After grabbing the hem of her skirt and giving him a gentle bow, she stood him up. She looked at his bewildered look, and she smiled, which had grown a lot lately.
“Please put the ring on yourself.”
With that said, she took her ring out of her case and put it on Tina’s finger. By the time she was thinking about repairing the ring size, the size of the ring automatically decreased.
“I made it for the young lady.”
The way he boasted as if asking for praise was so lovely. Oh, I guess I can say it now. I don’t know why. Her lips, which had been unable to separate before, now opened on their own as if they had melted.
“I love you.”
Even at those words that may sound dull without any rhetoric thrown around, Froden smiled brightly as if he had the whole world. Tina smiled brightly in response to that smile.
It was the most beautiful smile Froden had ever seen.
———————————————
After a moment of hot exchange of glances between the two of them, when the heat went away, Tina decided to talk about her topic. She did not want to throw her worries at him, so she desperately tried to retell the contents of the letter she had sent, wringing out her excuses.
“I know without saying anything. The lady may not have any memories left, so I can’t tell you the details, but I believed in her from the beginning. It happened for some reason, and I’m trying to figure out how to solve it. Do not worry. I will solve it”
I was moved by those words, and my emotions almost came up again. I shed tears at his trustworthy figure, and I was filled with a desire to lean on him, but I clenched my teeth and endured it.
“Thank you for your heart, Young master. But this is something I have to deal with. I wrote that in the letter and sent it, but in fact, it is a serious problem that I cannot say more than that.”
“Young lady. I’ll ask just in case. Do you have any memories from when you woke up until now?”
I couldn’t answer. I couldn’t possibly answer. When you answer, you have to explain everything to him. Who would believe such an absurd story?
Looking at Tina’s conflict with her mouth shut, Froden was convinced. She said she was remembering everything when she had her body taken by the demon.
“You remember everything. Everything from the breakup story to the current situation.”
I wonder if Froden felt like this when he heard that he wanted to break up the engagement. Just hearing the word breakup makes my heart feel like it’s going to break… I couldn’t even imagine how he must have felt when he heard that request through my body and voice to break up the engagement.
“I know this may sound a bit absurd. However, please listen to me as the truth.”
When he carefully rhymed, he stared at Froden’s figure and nodded.
“A different soul is now inside the body of the young lady.”
I was astonished at his words that reached the truth.
How did Young master know that fact…
