Chapter 9 Part 6

At the gentle but firm tone, Irina’s worries grew about where to start.88222831b9f3ec40

Was this the feeling cb1538d0f5 Rumpel had when he b80a82443c told her his story? Only belatedly did Irina understand 169f794453 his feelings and hesitantly opened c75f623abc her mouth.243dc96da159c51b

“I had to find a way to say no… … So I declared that I would take the oath of Goddess Asilin.”0119a2c34a17a527

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.a1f27533d55a577d

“So, the Emperor seems to have spread rumors. That I’m a witch…”02e40933ed890f4d

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.a649920527370d1e

“Rumpel?”16c4c1a57bb0cc0e

Unlike what she had 111a28e7e2 expected, Rumpel apologized. With an expression 3a4130e3a1 that seemed like fc408b562e he would tear c6f2131b98 someone apart at a57d1f5c0e any moment.e673b6f2ca3a8c20

Irina looked at Rumpel ab66849301 with surprised eyes. Then, Rumpel closed bba3744fcc his eyes for c9291f6209 a moment and 32baa9d9f9 took a deep c53868c716 breath.1af3c5114e163e30

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.4af8ed37feb42081

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.c7a8b6bd366336e2

Of course, Irina had agreed 2e77afc1af with Rumpel to change the d361e9516f Emperor. Even so, being careful 8bc052cb90 about what she said 11983e4d29 was always essential. Because if she was careless, f85387ec7c she could have a big e9b1fe6b21 problem before she could even 6778d0f368 do anything.878b959b5e034f8a

“Don’t marry the Emperor, marry me.”01d1abf190676162

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.7217a8a8cb6852fc

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.6025fa198832d495

But Rumpel said he 4202fafc3c wanted to marry her e703720252 first, so she felt 87449aa956 touched, and at the 7fb90ba5f1 same time, she felt fe9ed7450b a little sad thinking b66c137802 about how she had 25f6d2e3cc been suffering alone. Of course, the feeling c5ee7488f6 of happiness was greater 7e8229d902 than that.302cb646909632f0

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.a6a862760c0cc9ee

“I’m crying because I’m happy… So don’t tell me not to cry.”a62aa3cb4de10bd8

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.1f54559faf302a88

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.c0453aaab5919829

“When is the wedding?”bf27ab13250e3f5f

“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.”ce50f88fe00753b8

Irina nodded weakly. Like most women about ecfffed457 to get married, Irina e3542e1936 wanted to have a 671f9f4a97 grand and splendid wedding. She wanted the dress to 51d045bb50 be more extravagant than ever, 01716db5c3 and she wanted the bouquet 7eba8f8035 and wedding hall to be 468c91b163 of the highest quality.6b0d1f3955ed7fad

And that’s not all. Being able to receive congratulations from loved ones was also the most important point of the wedding.f5962c1fbe511237

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.388d332672d2c1e4

At least if she was 295617ed36 going to marry Rumpel now, 765b708b5b she needed to consider what 8cad6298fe his real identity was. Even if they got married, efbd95f938 she doubted what meaning there 78e25f5e3d was in a marriage that f18bf83c60 no one would recognize.9611f1ac20be501d

At the very least, if 48209f563e they got married after she 5e05e70ef3 gave birth, other people would 3b0b88b19d be able to see Rumpel eaac670eda at the wedding. Otherwise, Rumpel would only ebf1bf9eb9 be visible to her. A groom that a66dda2d4b only she can 5078b13de8 see may seem b677194762 a bit strange 00fa2ef544 in itself, but da7da9fbff it was also 74ac4b461a ridiculous.ea1c6b2934a0cf30

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.e6b42e997f98a41e

At the unexpected words, Irina blinked her eyes blankly. Her long, long eyelashes fluttered open and closed repeatedly. 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds passed like that… Flap. Soon Irina’s face turned burning red.0cd92aa5f9e1acf4

As the saying 60915b1c56 goes, a strong e7d5c41ed5 denial is a fee15ad9a1 strong affirmation. The moment Irina 6a6e263dca shook her head d2f4829ce2 and raised her 4f73d275df voice, Rumpel hugged 8db76c20cc 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.d6cfdc83aba362e4

It was true. Thinking from the 5f850aea08 opposite perspective, if f37c62f5be Rumpel was indifferent bebc19cb39 and only her d64407ecaa heart was pounding 9335cad4e8 every time she 3ec299c077 saw him, she 5fd46703ac would have felt 8245232f91 wronged and even 45663156d8 sad.16c39055da95c226

After calming her heart, Irina smiled brightly and hugged Rumpel tightly with both arms. Then Rumpel lowered his head and kissed Irina’s lips.cdd83f649e2d854e

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.8a30aecd71573f19
