After m*king love, Anna rested her head in Roland’s arms and nuzzled up against him like a cat.
“Your Highness, it’s so good… to have met you,” she whispered to him. Her breathing had just returned to normal from all the excitement.
“Call me Roland.” He stroked her long hair and smiled. “There isn’t anyone else around anyway, and I’ve never heard you call my name.”
“Ro… land.”
“Good girl.” He tickled her ears until she laughed, and then he exclaimed, “Actually… it’s me who should have said that. In the past, I never imagined that I would meet such a brilliant girl like you.”
“Not even in the palace?”
“No.” Roland shook his head faintly. “Sometimes, I even think I’m dreaming.”
Anna remained silent for a while, and then cuddled closer to Roland before saying, “I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere.”
These words aroused his thoughts. He recalled that she had said the same thing to him before.
“…living like a normal person, but I do not care about that. I just want to stay at Your Highness’ side, nothing more.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not going anywhere.”
She’s the petite and frail lass who was rolled up in a corner of a prison cell, the diligent girl who practiced her ability in maids clothes, the daring young lady who conjured a huge fire and sealed up the city wall, the diffident maid who raised her head and kissed me, and the lovely young woman who asked me to accompany her on the Day of Awakening…
Such scenes flashed in front of Roland one after another.
Without realizing it, the two of them had built up so many memories together.
“… it’s true.” He slid his hand down Anna’s silky hair and caressed her slender back. “You’re right here with me.”
“Feelings are really intriguing,” he thought to himself. “Though these are nothing but meaningless and silly words, they warm and melt my heart like nothing else can.”
An even longer period of silence followed. Then, just as he thought she had fallen asleep, she spoke,
“I’m a witch.”
“I know.”
“Sister Wendy told me that witches are infertile,” Anna muttered. “This will be troublesome for you.”
“I’m not afraid,” Roland replied assertively. “Compared to the impending third Battle of Divine Will, this is nothing.” He once spent time considering how to arrange his succession, but discontinued it after hearing Agatha’s report. The battle that would decide Man’s fate was around the corner. All kingdoms would be completely decimated if they were unable to defeat the demons. Compared to this, the succession issue was not important.
He paused momentarily when he thought of this. After a while, he continued, “Actually, I was a bit worried earlier on.”
“About what?”
“I was worried that you would use this reason to reject me.”
“Why?” Anna looked puzzled. “I want to be with you, no matter I’m a witch or not.”
Roland guffawed when he heard her reply. “Indeed, since I met Anna, she’s always been like that… straightforward, never beating around the bush, and expressive of whatever idea she had. With her, there would never be a Korean drama case of ‘I mean well for you, but I can’t tell you’ misunderstanding. I’ve thought too much.”
