Chapter 503 – Marriage Proposal -1-

A lover’s words asking you to come out for a moment.

Thinking about Roman, who seemed to be thinking a lot recently, Rike put on her jacket and went out.

When Roman, standing in the dark yard, saw her come out, he smiled and held out his hand.

“Rike. Should we take a short walk?”

“Yes.”

We left the main gate of the mansion and walked hand in hand down the street in the middle of the night.

“”···.””

Rike glanced at Roman.

Roman, who talks a lot when they’re together, keeps a rare long silence, but it doesn’t seem to be the silence he intended.

The way the lips move gives an air of choosing to say something.

‘What’s going on?’

Even Ricker, who prides himself on having a clear understanding of Roman’s psychology and slight changes, really doesn’t know this time.

Like everyone else, I only understand that my lover’s mind seems complicated.

“How was your day? Was the step worth taking?”

Roman spoke up.

Even though the voice was a little harsher than usual, there were no negative emotions lingering in it. Rike felt relieved more than anything.

“Today… I was just so, so happy. It was like a dream… From the time I spent with my mom as a child to the time I spent with my brother, so much time has passed, so it was hard to hold back my tears.”

“···.”

As Rike finished speaking, Roman stopped walking.

Squeak. Squeak.

The sound of shaking shabby lanterns hung in alleys in the name of guidance.

It illuminates the pitch-black street in a cluttered and cluttered manner.

“Oppa… What’s wrong? Please tell me if anything happens.”

“Rike.”

For a girl, this level of darkness is not an obstacle.

The lover’s expression was clearly visible in the field of view held by the purple eyes.

A gentle smile with a hint of tension. It was the first time Roman showed his face.

“I kept thinking. I wondered how I could convey my feelings even a little more clearly.”

“···Huh?”

Roman put his hand in and out of the inventory.

I slightly avert my gaze out of unfamiliarity.

“There is a saying in a book I read in the past. Can’t we change the fact that what makes humans happy can also be a source of unhappiness?”

Rike was just staring at her with her mouth tightly closed.

Looking at her affectionate gaze, Roman continued her words.

“At first, I thought it was a plausible solution and passed it over. Now that I think about it and think about it, I realize that it was a valuable piece of advice from a senior in my life.”

Roman showed the ring he was holding in one hand.

A small red light sparkled.

“···!”

“I was happy because I had Rike, and I’m sure I will continue to be happy if he was by my side. But without Rike, I would be more unhappy than anyone else.”

The moment when we understand the root of Roman’s strange behavior. Rike’s eyes became moist, and her lips trembled.

We’ve hinted at conversations about marriage, but this feels different.

When Roman expressed his opinion clearly, his emotions rose.

“I think my love for Ricke started out as an immature and intense emotion like a flame. However, in my current values, affection is no different from a promise and an expression of determination.”

“Oppa…”

Roman smiled innocently when asked if he felt like he had grown a little as a man.

Next.

Erase playfulness.

Roman put as much emotion into his voice as possible.

“As Rakshasa said, our life does not simply end in a few decades. It must be heavy and long enough to be worthy of the word eternity.”

“···.”

“Unknown times with no end in sight are bound to be scary. Words of rejection may be painful enough to kill, but somehow you can understand their position.”

Roman, who told him to cool off if he was going to refuse, gently grabbed Rieke’s left hand.

Before putting the ring on her ring finger, I looked her in the eyes and spoke for the last time.

“I want to take responsibility for Rike’s life. Let’s get married.”

··

··

The atmosphere of the mansion was filled with something suspicious.

Ricke, who went out together, did not return and Roman returned alone, because she found Eclair and Chloe in the same way.

Without hesitation, Sister Dritna came out with brisk steps and approached Roman.

“Brother. What about Rike?”

“I cried so much that I went to another house to collect myself.”

The other house probably refers to the place where Roman once lived with Rieke.

Although they understood the sentence itself, the sisters sounded doubtful at the same time.

“Rike is crying…?!”

“Crying?”

Unlike the sisters who are embarrassed because it seems like a serious story.

Roman’s voice as he answered was not heavy.

“I tried to stay by your side until you calmed down, but Rike pushed me on the back telling me to go.”

It’s clearly because important parts were left out intentionally.

Chloe tilted her head in curiosity, and Eclair crossed her arms and pouted her lips.

Roman raised a small eyebrow at that and held out both hands to her sister.

“Pretty girls. Let’s go for a walk.”

“”···.””

It makes her feel uncomfortable to hear that Rike is crying.

In the meantime, I don’t know what the hell is going on since he calmly goes for a walk.

But.

‘But it’s Roman.’

‘But you’re my brother.’

There must be some reason. Sister Dritna held Roman’s hand.

“Let’s walk first.”

Unlike the words, the steps did not seem to be stretching without a destination. Although I was curious about where it was headed.

Knowing Roman’s recent condition, Sister Dritna complied without asking any questions.

Tak!

Roman stopped at one point. And she smiled while looking at the eclair.

“Do you remember this place?”

“···!”

A dark back alley and wooden boxes lying there.

Before Eclair became romantically involved with Roman. A time when such an atmosphere did not even exist.

This is the place where Eclair, who was wandering around on a vague holiday, caught up with Roman, who was passing by, and told him about her troubles with Chloe.

Chloe blinked her eyes at the seemingly unremarkable space.

“Do you know this place?”

“This is… So, um…”

Eclair, who received Chloe’s bright gaze, stuttered in embarrassment and sent a look to Roman asking for help.

Roman watched the two with a sly attitude.

It’s not like it’s an abbreviation of time that Roman invites her sister to propose to her.

A sisterhood that becomes transparent by facing things honestly. No matter how much the world breaks and bends, the relationship between these two will never be separated.

Roman wanted to compare her own heart to that.

“Chloe.”

“Yes?”

“Do you like eclairs?”

It was obvious, so Chloe nodded her head without hesitation with bright eyes.

Roman then looked at Eclair.

“How about eclairs?”

“What question…?”

“Just answer me. Isn’t Chloe important?”

“Of course.”

I can’t believe that Dritna and her sisters, who were blowing cold air, were talking about their feelings in front of each other.

It’s thrilling. It was something that once again gave Roman great satisfaction.

“I learned a lot from watching Eclair and Chloe.”

“”···?””

The mysterious young sister’s gaze was directed straight at Roman.

Roman loved the sight of the Dritna sisters looking in the same direction as they do now.

“Before I met you two, I thought that in my values, affection was something that was better to receive.”

But that’s a short thought. As a third party, I can clearly see this when I see sisters caring for each other.

Giving one’s heart is one of the great happinesses of life.

“Roman…?”

“Brother…?”

Her sisters have no idea why Roman is doing this.

After calming down the two people who were feeling subtle tension, Roman continued his words.

“I don’t know how to do anything properly other than use my body to resolve disputes and harm someone. I know very well that I’m not good at being a good family man.”

Oh, this can’t be right.

Chloe took a breath, reading the air first. Her heart is pounding like it might burst.

“I’m starting to get a feel for my role as a husband, so I’m confident that I can get an average score with all my dedication, but I’m so afraid that I won’t be able to be a good father.”

Roman stuck his hand in the air.

The words spoken in a relaxed tone did not stop.

“I want Eclair and Chloe to be by my side and teach me. So that I can properly convey affection not only to my lover but also to my children.”

Next.

Roman showed the ring he made himself on his palm.

“”!!!””

Like Rike, these are women who are extremely in love.

Eclair also followed in Chloe’s footsteps and understood the current situation.

This is a formal marriage proposal. Sister Dritna looked at Roman blankly.

Roman stretched out his hand and grabbed Eclair’s left hand.

He gently swept Eclair’s palm, which was full of calluses from constantly swinging the sword throughout her life.

“Eclair de Litna.”

“What, uh, that… Ah…?!”

Roman smiled softly as he looked at Eclair, who was flustered and flustered like never before.

“Think carefully and answer. As you know, it’s not just a hundred years, it’s probably as long as a lifetime.”

“···.”

After a short time has passed. Roman opened her mouth.

“How can we live apart? Let’s get married.”

There was no need for time to think in the first place. Eclair slowly shook her blushing head.

The ring Roman gave me fit perfectly on my ring finger. Side! She made a sound and kissed her.

Roman then grabbed Chloe’s left hand next to him.

The girl’s eyes were already on the verge of overflowing with tears.

“Chloe Dritna.”

“Brother…”

“Likewise, I want you to think deeply and answer sincerely.”

“Yes, yes!”

Looking at her sparkling eyes, Roman gently touched the girl’s cheek.

“Our pretty Chloe… Everyone in the world will criticize me, calling me a thief and not an adventurer, but I will take that as a compliment.”

“Ah…”

“Marry me. I need Chloe in my life.”

Feeling overwhelmed and overwhelmed. The girl had a feeling that if she opened her mouth, an ugly voice would come out.

Instead of answering, she nodded like her older sister.

The ring Roman carefully placed sits on Chloe’s ring finger.

Likewise, we shared a short kiss.

Even before Chloe burst into tears after completing the series of processes.

“Black… Ugh…!”

Eclair vowed never to be seen crying in front of her younger brother.

I was shedding tears of unbelievable happiness.
