Chapter 328: The Magic Words (Part Two)

I took a step forward and got on my knees right before Lianne. I held her hands, looked her in the eye. "I Love you. Not anyone else. You!" I kissed her, I shoved my tongue in her mouth, I squeezed her, hugged her tight, and though at first, she resisted, in a mere second, she herself took the advance, and before we knew it, boy was something pressing up. "I love you!"

I almost teared up- no, I cried. I cried like a baby. I really loved her and I didn't want to lose her. I knew I was going to die soon, so it was pointless to be thinking about losing her and all that but still, I loved her. 

"I can take your word for it?" Lianne, a bit out of breath, whispered. 

"YES!" I hugged her ever so tightly. "I'll break all the engagements and everything. I love you and only you!" 

Our eyes were locked together. There was only her in my vision and me in hers! She was a bit teary-eyed herself. 

"We're still here you know?" Alisa cleared her throat. 

I'd actually forgotten about these guys. 

But it was too late to control all these emotions. "Sorry guys." I tried to chuckle but it sure wasn't working. 

Alisa just rolled her eyes though.

Lianne's breath was a little erratic. "Well then, it's late and I'd like to catch up with him. How about we have this conversation in the morning? The guards outside will show you to our chambers. I believe we have better rooms for you all tonight." She cleared her throat. "And I apologize for overreacting."

The three were actually kind of speechless. They weren't expecting something like this. Though reluctant, the three left: the reluctant one being Biteria- she did not want to leave- no sir! Alisa in particular gave me a dirty look though. Yeah, she understood this all too well. 

Meanwhile- "We should-"

"Take this in our room?" Lianne whispered. 

Well, that escalated quickly. 

'Please tell me, you're not going to torture me in there.'

Needless to say, I was more scared than happy that all of this worked out.

My day had been pretty busy. But that was only because I was trying my best to not let my mind wander. 

I couldn't focus on anything and I was restless but still, I tried my best to make myself busy and pass the time. 

And when the time finally came, I couldn't help myself. I had to do it. I had to say it. 

I loved her. 

I loved Lia.

And the fact that she was leading me to her room made me beyond happy. 

But that didn't mean I wasn't scared. I still remember the scene of her skinning a deer very clearly. What if she didn't forgive me and ended up skinning me instead?

With my current condition, I wouldn't die but- it sure would hurt!

And as we got closer and closer to her room, my legs kind of started to shake. 

She won't do that, right?

Right?

We'd arrived. 

The doors opened. 

I went in. it was a big room- Lia's room.

And now the doors were locked.

There was no escape.

As my teeth rattled and I slowly turned around- instead of meeting a knife- I met Lia's lips. Or rather my lips met hers. 

It wasn't a French kiss- just a kiss. 

Her lips were warm, her scent- divine.

"I've heard."

"Heard what?"

She wrapped her hands around my neck. "You don't have much time."

"Oh, that." I chuckled nervously. "Yeah, I'd been meaning to tell you that but this whole mess happened." I took a deep breath. "Viola's father- the king of Xylax died because of me. It was partly my fault but my fault regardless and his dying words were for me to take responsibility. I screwed up there so I had to take responsibility. That was all. And I'm sorry about my friends as well. At the time I didn't know what I was thinking. I know I'll break their hearts and I know I could have avoided this but- but I'll apologize to them too. So, please don't leave me."

Lianne hadn't actually said a word. She just stared at me as I kept talking but when I was done, she smiled. "I won't leave you, in fact, I'll haunt you."

"That's scary." The thought of a high elf haunting me… yeah scary. 

I was definitely, definitely happy beyond measure that she wasn't going to leave me though.

She giggled. "Take me with you, on your journey. I'm confident I can teach you good skills and I can aid-"

"No."

"But-"

"No, Lia. I won't take you. It'll be dangerous but that's not all. The people here- they need you. This land is only peaceful because of you. I can't take that away from the people."

But that was just an excuse. The truth was, I didn't know what dangers lay ahead. What if everything failed, and we got annihilated? I didn't want her to get hurt. Maybe, that was just selfish of me. And I had a feeling she understood it just fine.

She let out a breath and rested her head on my chest. She was almost as tall as me so she had to bent down slightly for that. "Can you promise me, you'll come back?"

"I- I can't." I wanted to lie but- not this time. "I don't know if I can. I'll try my best but if that's not good enough, then I don't know."

She almost bit her lips but she didn't. "We're not married yet, so you're free to be with other girls. I overreacted."

She moved her head and didn't look me in the eye.

"No, you weren't overreacting. What you did was totally normal: I was the abnormal one. And no, I don't want to be with just any other girl- I only want to be with you."

She snorted and stared at me. "Even so, they love you. I can't deny you of their love." She cleared her throat. "Assuming you win and find a cure to your curse, let's-let's at least treat them with respect and if they wish to become your concubines, I won't object. But- only after all this. And we'll have a very long conversation about that."

I couldn't believe she was actually agreeing to that. 

I chuckled. "Well, if you say so."

But how long were we going to stand in front of the door again?

I mean this room was big and there was a large bed, so why were we standing in front of the door?

We could have at least sat down.

"Alright then, shall we?" Lia said. 

"Yeah, we have a long day tomorrow. I'll have to get back to Xylax. And I'm tired. Let's catch some sle-."

She kissed me before I could finish and her tongue went in. 

Breaths heated up, clothes fell on the floor, we fell on the bed, and we got on top of each other. 

"You sure?" I said as I unhooked her top. 

"Yeah," Lia said, a bit breathless. 

I kissed her, held her, and as moans of pleasure reverberated in the air, we united.
