Hi everyone~ I apologize dearly for a mistake. I uploaded my past version of translation last time (I couldn’t immediately reupload it cause of the sudden site maintenance T.T). Clarification, An de Toulouse is a female. If you see any of it not updated yet, please do mention on the comments~
WBWB | Chapter 60 | End
by QuillSeeing Jeanne’s incredulous expression, Baldr was reminded of how much he had missed her.bca9735ac63c7996
He had missed her 3d9ac8c37a terribly. Fighting the urge da1f4089e5 to embrace her, 876a4e41bb he sat down, 3a984da325 struggling to find c89b929947 the right words. But once 9b94714823 he started 5e82ce2fb6 speaking, the dc7c2dcdcf words tumbled af2846c023 out, mostly 68b958995c without passing 6dcc731d3e through the fac18e158b filter of 465eeb6137 his mind. Even as b93e9dfdf0 he spoke, 4385910352 he thought d77cf1c2ea to himself,‘I’ve ruined it. My own mouth is ruining everything.’d7d834ccc120e9e0

Jeanne truly loved him. And she had accepted his proposal. The realization filled him with a joy and surprise he had never experienced before. It was a strange, unfamiliar feeling, almost flustering him. It didn’t take him long to realize that this strange, ticklish feeling was happiness. He savored it for the first time, with Jeanne before him. It was incredibly sweet.bbee628393816d07

Jeanne had accepted, but a formal proposal and preparations would take time. He wanted to give her something before he left, a token of his love, a promise that he wouldn’t change his heart. 023e3907934347cc
