Ah, this.
What is it like to be proposed to right after arriving in a different world
Ask was stunned when he heard this, and only heard Eleanor continue to say:
"I am your knight, and I have sworn to protect you for life, but your level is only Lv.20, right? Now the magic tide has reached Lv.40, and there will be many high-level enemies out there... I am worried about your safety. If you can marry me, I can better protect you with my power and strength."
"Also, Ask, tell me: do you like me?" Knight Lady grabbed Ask's hand and pressed it against her chest, her expression sincere and persistent, "If you don't like me at all, then just pretend that I never said anything when I proposed to you just now."
Ask: …
"Ahem." A subtle feeling came over him, and he could only speak truthfully, "I can't say 'I don't like you at all', but we just met again, isn't it too fast to skip the dating stage and talk about marriage..."
"Okay!" Eleanor ignored the second half of his sentence and smiled brightly, "Then let's arrange our wedding to be held next week at the Grand Palace in Aachen!"
Ask:
Then he finally realized: from the moment they met until now, Eleanor first showed surprise to dispel the unfamiliarity of not seeing each other for many years, then took his hand to go for a walk, then "casually" talked about being forced into marriage, and finally proposed to him...
This series of actions was so natural that he did not realize until now: the Knight Girl today was not the immature Knight Girl before he left.
Instead, she is a mature strong woman who has been in a position of power for many years, has no lack of skills and experience, and can even take the initiative skillfully.
As Ask was thinking this, his wrist was suddenly pulled by Eleanor.
He was pulled into her arms.
As if he felt that this was too bold, His Highness, the First Sword Bearer of the Empire, turned around lightly, snuggled into Ask's arms, and then held his mouth with his warm and soft lips.
Her deep blue eyes were filled with love, making Ask feel a little dizzy. When he was out of breath from the kiss, Eleanor gently separated from him, then put her face against his chest, hugged his waist and whispered:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't want to wait any longer."
"Marry me."
…
In short, men cannot say no.
Especially when a beautiful woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, a slim waist, long legs, a high position and power is loyal to you and wants to marry you, if you still say no... then the only explanation is that you don't like women.
When the two returned to the castle, Ask had no choice but to say goodbye to Mao Zhongwei and the others, because Eleanor, who was reunited after a long absence, could not wait any longer - she planned to pick up Ask first, and as for these people, she would arrange to send them to Aachen via other routes.
"Done?" While Eleanor was talking to Viscount Graf, the other three came over and asked in a low voice.
Comrade Mao Zhongwei had an expression of inquiry and uncertainty, Academician Shao Qiangang had an expression of "young people are to be feared", and Comrade Yu Ziwen from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had an expression of faint sorrow that "there really is no place for me to use my talents".
