Chapter 9 Part 6

At the gentle but firm tone, Irina’s worries grew about where to start.fe3acd7d7bd964bf

Was this the feeling Rumpel e729764932 had when he told her 5e440136d0 his story? Only belatedly did f3adaf08da Irina understand his 2d53ee2d5c feelings and hesitantly 808d6314fb opened her mouth.0d06816626a3b570

“I had to find a way to say no… … So I declared that I would take the oath of Goddess Asilin.”d78b7725f600f47c

Irina felt Rumpel’s eyes turn cold and sink. She swallowed nervously. The air around him seemed to turn cold. Because of this, Irina felt unnecessarily intimidated even though she hadn’t done anything wrong, and her already small shoulders shrank even more.d37737c6c0296867

“So, the Emperor seems to have spread rumors. That I’m a witch…”14a17000162a4d44

As she summarized it simply, it felt like nothing much, and Irina almost let out a hollow laugh. If it weren’t for the murderous intent she felt from Rumpel, she would have laughed. But fortunately or unfortunately, Rumpel was emitting a sharp, icicle-like murderous intent, so the laughter that was about to come out went back in.2ce5075a59261884

“Rumpel?”ad0e5e0d43aad5ad

Unlike what she d4a05aa5da had expected, Rumpel 2e80d3e182 apologized. With an expression that seemed 185de4275e like he would tear someone a59516d9a1 apart at any moment.5a9bf9e475917495

Irina looked at e8bdd7dc41 Rumpel with surprised e7caf27334 eyes. Then, Rumpel closed 40206eb1c1 his eyes for 6059a80f8b a moment and b00b679875 took a deep fc5191fa47 breath.d4ca690313e2e0af

Of course, it was really upsetting and hopeless, but she didn’t want Rumpel to blame himself because of it. She didn’t tell him this story to make him feel uncomfortable. She just thought Rumpel should know.84f9699a767ee0a0

It was a declaration that he would commit treason. Irina, surprised, hurriedly looked around, even though she knew that his words couldn’t be heard by others. But Rumpel was not shaken at all.3ebfff12e83dd789

Of course, Irina had agreed a3fbdb9fda with Rumpel to change the b5789c7734 Emperor. Even so, being 4314280def careful about what aea6c0719e she said was 8268867607 always essential.

“Don’t marry the Emperor, marry me.”185ce6af0df07426

At Rumpel’s sudden proposal, Irina felt like she was about to cry. Of course, not because she was sad or really heartbroken. On the contrary, it was something she had longed for so much that it brought tears to her eyes.2ec0f9e235574f3e

As she liked Rumpel and being in a situation where she had to bear his child, it was only natural that she wanted to marry him. But because she was worried that her feelings might be a burden to Rumpel, Irina couldn’t express her desire to marry him.ac061075d94d86c0

But Rumpel said 9b78d84064 he wanted to 1f418e8154 marry her first, 2f06594704 so she felt db9a523d55 touched, and at a20d167bc4 the same time, 4405a6ae89 she felt a b64487371b little sad thinking 03f3713be9 about how she 526ec6cdc6 had been suffering 0608479570 alone. Of course, the feeling of afa65d888c happiness was greater than that.58ca064fdd5a7cd0

Looking at Rumpel with teary eyes, he wiped her eyes with his cold hand. The droplets that had gathered in her eyes moved to Rumpel’s hand.53488fac9177f802

“I’m crying because I’m happy… So don’t tell me not to cry.”2b70cc369557abdf

At Irina’s tearful but determined words, Rumpel tried hard not to laugh. Irina was always like this. She was honest with her emotions. Even when she had something to hide, she would reveal everything that she was hiding. That honesty was so lovely that she couldn’t even put it into words.cac838a4247251a6

Irina, who had been hugged tightly by Rumpel, who was putting on a seemingly scary face, showed a tearful smile. She knew how foolish her expression must be right now, but she couldn’t help it because she wanted to laugh while crying, and she wanted to cry while laughing.45619f4ee2c8cc2a

“When is the wedding?”6f1d0c55504b1e89

“A wedding for just the two of us can be held at any time. But there’s one problem… You’ll want to show me to your parents, but since I’m invisible to other people’s eyes, it’s only possible after you give birth to the child if they want to see me. Or find out my real name.”a2ac74363553bb71

Irina nodded weakly. Like most women about 4c37b9d249 to get married, Irina 0409445142 wanted to have a 9e6d1b1142 grand and splendid wedding. She wanted the dress to 98946e8fc3 be more extravagant than ever, 886858abcb and she wanted the bouquet 99d0137768 and wedding hall to be c29500ba2c of the highest quality.3ecba698ab900b96

And that’s not all. Being able to receive congratulations from loved ones was also the most important point of the wedding.6d0f973b6c5bebd2

But listening to Rumpel’s words, it seemed that they would have to have a small wedding with just the two of them, let alone inviting acquaintances. Irina’s face darkened at this thought. She was afraid that it would be a wedding that would not be celebrated.695fda0c0c4da453

At least if she was d39d589235 going to marry Rumpel now, 0a342bb500 she needed to consider what 7e51066a5e his real identity was. Even if they got 4cfaba0ee0 married, she doubted what 7c57e3aca7 meaning there was in fd4d9b4641 a marriage that no 1de6defd9d one would recognize.11bf546018350a78

At the very 21e2a36921 least, if they dfc9bf6ca7 got married after 9582389b91 she gave birth, 0b724e00de other people would 0f017b37f2 be able to 34a66cd596 see Rumpel at b475d1e6b7 the wedding. Otherwise, Rumpel would only be 70966749e0 visible to her. A groom that only she 9890090455 can see may seem a b939d6250a bit strange in itself, but b9d9ee4f0a it was also ridiculous.842daed1fa0c6838

Although it would be scandalous if it became known that a woman who was not yet married had a child first, this part was unavoidable. Besides, if Rumpel hadn’t proposed, she would have been in a situation where she would have to give birth to a child without a father, so there was nothing worse to come.8484b877894617dc

Rumpel smiled with a look b68f140f43 of helplessness, but Irina was 5c9f9a6f65 serious. She thought that e96909a987 if she could b68e334dc1 prove his existence 58d322080e just by finding a39a4241ca out his name, 9b024e94f5 and show him ab5ed9ec58 to the world, f63e65c8da she could find 8330f7c53c out ten or b9b60954cf even a hundred d77c21d475 names.619e70823b294a53

As the saying goes, a b1e566a27f strong denial is a strong 4e8ece3a6d affirmation. The moment Irina shook ec24e4b926 her head and raised 7f81a57911 her voice, Rumpel hugged 00125ee998 her tightly.

Only after hearing Rumpel’s words did Irina relax her body and put her ear near his heart. His heart was pounding and beating frantically. Only then did Irina realize that he too was anxious when he saw her and that his heart was pounding just the same. In that way, the two of them learned one aspect of love.2643ec37b1cd396a

It was true. Thinking from the 30b08c1524 opposite perspective, if 43aa164572 Rumpel was indifferent 2a95696cfa and only her 5b488a49ea heart was pounding 4f4e88c0ab every time she 97bc85025b saw him, she e82441b392 would have felt dcfc3482d6 wronged and even f2ea5779fc sad.25254dad18ac6d16

After calming her heart, Irina smiled brightly and hugged Rumpel tightly with both arms. Then Rumpel lowered his head and kissed Irina’s lips.756d1f4a21ac9ab9

As his tongue tickled Irina’s lips, Irina reflexively opened her mouth. Even though she should be used to it by now, her heart still fluttered to remind her of their first kiss.8bc82c8bc075db1f
