"This time, except for my mother asking me to give you the things myself, I mainly want to apologize to you."

The pleasant sound lingers and spreads on the shade of the tree branches. The birds falling on the top of the tree look down and two figures of a man and a woman are walking by below.

"You believe I can handle the diamonds well, but I'm doing a bad job."

"This is not your reason."

"How could it be no? If I hadn't handed it over to my father..."

"Then you will be blamed by your father for you handing over the treasure to the enemy."

...

Strolling along the lush forest meadows of the Seven Rivers, Charles and Lucien walked side by side.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I don't regard the Nodo as an enemy, maybe because that was not what I saw with my own eyes, maybe... maybe... maybe I feel that has nothing to do with me... Is this selfish?"

"If it's my opinion, of course it doesn't count." Shire replied: "But I don't think you need to stick to this, because the diamond is an item you get from Angban, and you have no obligation to hand it over to Nodo."

"But I don't want to put Dorias in danger because of it. Although I can't see it now, but..."

She has an outstanding temperament, and the melancholy revealed when her brows frowned, even the light around her seemed to be much dimmed.

Charles felt that she was worried correctly. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war, I'm afraid that Mezlos and his party might have done something.

But he did not comfort him, but said, "If you really regret giving the diamond to your father, then you can take it back and forth, and then keep it yourself or give it to others by your heart."

"My father refused to return it to me."

"He wouldn't carry the diamond with him at any time, right?" Charles raised his eyebrows.

But after saying this, he found that Lucien's gaze at him became very strange.

That was not a confusion or intention, but... a surprise!

"Do you think so too? I've wanted to do this a long time ago!"

“Then why not do it?”

"Because he has always carried the diamond with him."

“…”

Charles felt a little speechless, but the other party was a little depressed, and inexplicably became cheerful. He even bent down to take off the brown boots he was wearing, revealing a pair of crystal-clear, round snow-white feet.

Her bare feet were stepping on the soft grass, and her true touch that was close to nature made her squint her eyes as if she was enjoying it. Then Lucien suddenly turned her head to look at Charles, her eyes like gray gems flashing.

"If I said I wanted to marry you, would you be willing to marry me?"

These words made Charles stunned, and then he couldn't help but look at the beautiful face in front of him carefully.

I thought the other party was joking, but he didn't see any casual expression on his face, but instead was full of seriousness.

Although he also had many good feelings for the other party, Charles still felt that this was very sudden.

"Why did you suddenly say this?" he couldn't help asking.

"I think I should thank you." Lucien stared at him without blinking.

"Although I don't know what it is, if I hadn't been you, I might not have looked like I am now. Maybe..." As she said that, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Maybe we will dance for another three thousand years as before?"

"If you just thank you, you don't need to do that at all." Charles shook his head, "and I didn't do anything either."

"No, not just thanks."

Lucyan murmured, her breathing became a little rapid, and then at some moment, she suddenly approached and kissed Charles and looked sideways.

The warm and soft touch made Charles stunned. He raised his hand and subconsciously touched the place where he was kissed, staring at the other person in a daze.

However, although Lucien's face was flushed, he still maintained an elegant and calm look, or pretended to be calm.

Brushing a strand of hair across her ears, she glanced gently at an oak tree not far away, not looking at Charles' expression.

"Do you know why I did this?"

"Why?" Shire asked subconsciously.

"Because I want to do that," the other party replied playfully: "Just as if I wanted to marry you."

"Maybe as I told my mother, I'm already married, so I think a lot..."

"Maybe this feels like you said, love?"

From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Charles beside her. She finally couldn't help but touch her lips. The strange touch that seemed to remain made her feel like countless deer bumping into her heart, and her delicate face seemed to be about to drip blood.

But although these made her feel a little breathless, they still couldn't stop her from having the courage she had finally mustered.

"In my spare time, I always think, if I want to get married, who will I marry? Then after thinking about it, I found that there is nothing else in my mind except you... anything else..."

The courage came and went quickly. The more she spoke, the redder her face became, and in the end she even stuttered a little.

Even in the end, she couldn't continue to speak, but turned her dodging eyes back to Shire, dodging a little, but tried hard to express the vital words next.

"What about you, what do you feel?" she asked, but then added quickly.

"If you don't want to, just pretend that nothing happened today. I don't want you to think I'm forcing you..."

When she said this, she calmed down. Although she was still blushing, her speech speed returned to her previous calmness as a superior.

However, although it was very formal, the hands behind her back and put them in her sleeves unconsciously held a diamond with a slight aroma of wine. The white toes on the grass in early spring kept bent and rubbing, silently telling the owner's nervousness.

This was the second time she expressed this meaning. The first time it was derived from rational cognition, but now this time, Lucien felt that her words came from her heart.

At first, because of the strange diamond in her hand, she developed curiosity for the person beside her.

But...why did you start falling in love with him?

Is it his unique look when he was rejected last time? Or is it because of the figure of the other party rushing to come when she was at a loss deep in Angban?

Or some other...

Before they knew it, the two of them had completely stopped walking.

The road under your feet was a little uneven, surrounded by a dense oak forest, green and the sun shone through the shade seemed to be spotty.

The crisp birds were singing endlessly, and the faint water flow not far away was rustling.

It was not the sound of a river, but a waterfall sprinkled in front of a low mountain in a high ground.

Splashes splashed under the waterfall and surrounded by rocks, forming a vastly deep and transparent pool.

Under the sunshine, the fish in the pond jumped out of the water, flipped their tails and rushed into the water again.

A brown-haired short-tailed monkey squatting on the rocks by the pond was splashed with water, but it was not angry, or it was not focused on its daily fishing at this time.

At this time, it was looking at the two tall figures in the woods with curiosity.

At first it saw the very beautiful female take the initiative to kiss the male beside her, which made her simple brain circuit quite puzzled, because in its impression, the animals in estrus are often more proactive.

However, the scene that happened next was normal. I saw that the male kissed the female in a short while and took the initiative to take the other party's hand.

The faint singing followed, and the pleasant sound of joy made it unable to help looking at an oak branch beside the pool, two yellow larks combing each other's feathers.
