Just at this moment, Annan knew that the question that the old grandmother wanted Annan to ask already had a very clear answer.
But as my grandmother said...
If "confession" has to be left to girls, it will not only appear that Kaifni is unladylike and not reserved enough, but it will also appear that Annan is irresponsible and lacks courage.
So Annan spoke directly.
"Kafni..."
He hesitated for a moment, still a little shy, and used a slightly euphemistic way of saying: "I like you. I have been since a long time ago."
"I love you, my lord... no, Annan."
Kafni responded without hesitation: "I love you from the beginning, from the first time we met, I have fallen in love with you.
"From then on, I hoped that we could be together..."
Kafni said, lifting the quilt from herself.
As soon as she stood up from the bed, the shadows formed a web like living creatures and gathered under Kaifni... allowing her to stand up from the bed without moving.
These shadows form a tutu-like look, as if Kafni has put a formal coat on top of her pajamas.
Kaifuni's face turned slightly red.
She adjusted her clothes and said in a very light voice: "I must admit, I actually... had a crush on you. Just when I saw you again for the second time.
"But I know that in that case I will scare you. It will also make me look like a devil, with inappropriate aggression. Maybe I will be hated by your family. So I have been patient and depressed... until I see you later.
When Her Royal Highness Mary.
"I have never realized more clearly than at that moment that if I want to marry you, I must be someone who is worthy of you and cannot hold you back.
"I hope to be able to live with you for a lifetime instead of just being your disciple, pet, or assistant. You are the future savior, and my power is so weak in front of you... I also hope that if something happens, you will do this.
It’s troublesome, but I can help you.”
Kafni said seriously: "That's politics.
"Annan, I know that you are very busy, and you even have to give up your responsibilities as a grand duke for this. Then you must be busy with something more important than ruling, about defeating terrible enemies and saving the world.
"So I have been studying hard and exercising my ability to handle government affairs. I just hope to be able to share your worries...I hope to continue to improve myself to the point where I can pat my chest and say these to you calmly and confidently.
Leave everything to me and I can help you handle it as well as possible.
"But I haven't grown to that level yet...you came to confess to me."
"...So, do you want to grow for a while?"
Annan complained instinctively.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized what a stupid thing he had said.
He immediately grimaced and wanted to explain something.
Kafni, however, shook her head firmly.
"I will never miss an opportunity."
She answered very confidently: "Although it hasn't developed to a suitable time for me to 'marry' you...but if this is a confession, then I will accept it.
"...And, based on what I know about you, you are not someone who would go to my bedroom without warning and confess to me in the middle of the night."
Kafni asked worriedly: "Did something happen? Is there anything I can do to help?"
When Annan heard this, he was silent for a moment.
Up to this point, everything he did was done casually. Annan, who upheld "self-benefit", never realized for a moment how difficult it would be to say "a rational and correct decision".
"indeed so……"
He replied dryly: "I must go to the future.
"If I return victoriously, then I will complete my sublimation and will no longer be able to give birth to children; if I fail... I will disappear. Maybe at some point, you will pick up a piece of mine.
Or not even that. Until you die, this world will be fine... except that I will never come back.
"Then in some distant future worms will inevitably devour everything in this world. But the good news is, it will definitely happen after you die... more than a hundred years in the future."
"That's bad news."
Kafni murmured softly: "That means I have to live in pain and loneliness.
"It's better to just die."
"But even if I win the final victory, I don't know when I will come back."
Annan averted his gaze.
"I will wait for you."
Kafni answered without hesitation: "It doesn't matter one year or ten years. Until I become an old woman and buried in the soil, as long as no one gives me enough credible evidence, I will never believe it."
You lose and die.
"I will always wait for you. I will never despair of waiting for your triumph."
When she said this, she paused and asked: "So, how long do you have...?"
"Two months."
Annan gave a very definite time.
He hesitated and added: "Another problem is... you are still too young now. We are still too young. I can indeed give you a wedding. But we are only fifteen years old. Even in Noah, you are still too young."
Without adulthood...this will be an unblessed heir."
"It doesn't matter."
Kafni replied without hesitation: "I have been prepared for a long time...I have been preparing since I saw you again. So far, I have been preparing for a whole year."
As she spoke, she landed lightly on the ground.
With her bare feet tapping, Kafni ran to the corner of her bedroom to a safe that was heavily encrypted through a ritual, and opened it.
This is the most tightly protected "treasure house" in Kafni's room. After extremely high-level ritual encryption, even Annan cannot easily see through what is hidden in it.
But as Kaifuni opened it with a complicated process, she took out the contents.
They were two golden cups filled with blood.
"I made up my mind from the beginning..."
Kafni whispered: "If you fall in love with someone else and decide to marry someone else, then at least two drops of your blood must be stolen. If I were the queen, I could raise them up naturally."
"My love for you... is very greedy. Although I was prepared from the beginning, even if you fall in love with someone else, I will become your lover, because I am so greedy that I will never let go for anything, let alone
I won't be willing to let you go completely; but in that case, I won't give birth to a child for you, because I am so greedy that I want to have you all to myself and never share it with anyone.
"But I want everything... Even if I don't want to give birth to a child for such a bad Annan, I still want to have a child with you. It's very bad... I am so fickle and weird."
Kafni said softly.
She raised the golden cup high, which was several times larger than her own hand, and showed it to Annan who was stunned.
"...I want two children."
Kafni felt a little guilty, but said confidently: "So I prepared two gold cups."
no doubt.
This is the reason why Kaifni always looks as pale as a doll every time she meets her.
Because of the strong erosion of the previous curse, Kafni's body was damaged, so she has not yet had menarche and is incapable of pregnancy. However, she cuts her wrist every month, prepares a large amount of blood, and persists with devotion.
The Cup Girl prays and carefully prepares for the ceremony.
Kafeni said with some regret: "I just thought that they might not be used anymore... Unexpectedly, they come in handy now. Since I started making them, these two cups have been able to be used now."
used.
"All this is destiny. And destiny is a treacherous road."
Kafni replied firmly: "So I believe that the sky train will never fail.
"I want to believe in the destiny that has blessed me. It brought you to me and gave you to me... Therefore, I will never betray this destiny.
"No matter how long it takes to wait, I will be here, waiting for you to come back."
