'Really what to say?'

Arthur was in a predicament. Being a virgin for eternity, he didn't know how to strike up a conversation with a girl.

Till now, he saw Violet as a comrade and as a partner. It is hard to admit but indeed he never saw her as a woman.

Until she confessed to him. He was not that dense to not know what she wanted to convey to him.

"V-Violet."

"Y-Yes."

Just like him, Violet was also a bit nervous. She was shy after confession. She took a leap of faith and confessed to him but it was not that direct.

And she also didn't know how to break this awkward atmosphere between them. This is proof of her being more human.

"So, do you also want to go to the academy? If you don't wa--"

"I will go."

"Huh? Really? You know you don't have to force yourself."

"No. I have decided to attend to my wishes. After all, I have decided to follow Arthur-sama for lifetime."

As soon she said, Violet felt Arthur's gaze and she got embarrassed.

*Poof!*

'Violet, you...'

Arthur looked at her saying him with a very embarrassed yet determined face.

Even after knowing her love for him, Arthur yet didn't know the depth of love inside Violet.

He just thought maybe because of rescuing her and living with her have bloomed these feelings in her.

But he underestimated her. Violet Evergarden is no ordinary girl. Even if she is a doll with no emotions, after all this time all the warmth she received from him is unforgettable for her.

'She was just like a white paper when I bought her, but now... She has bloomed beautifully.'

Arthur looked at her. So stern and annoying yet lovable. That's Violet Evergarden.

The girl that can go into anyone's heart and give anyone warmth.

'She must have always thought that I saved her but she doesn't know that her presence has also saved me.'

"Violet!"

"Y-Yes."

She looked at Arthur who looked at her with a very determined gaze.

'Arthur-sama must be going to reply about my confession.'

Violet was not nervous. If Arthur agrees, she will be very happy. And if he doesn't agree... Then all she has to do is to make him fall in love with her.

"Violet. I am very happy for your confession. But..."

Violet tightened her hand. Though she was not afraid, from the bottom of her heart she didn't want to be rejected by him.

"But... I-I am not that proficient in love. S-So, I don't know how to reply to you. I don't wish to make things awkward between us. So, let's stay the way we are now. Though, I a-also want you to be with me for my lifetime."

Arthur stuttered. He himself couldn't believe he was that embarrassed.

'Arthur-sama...'

Violet looked at him who was fidgeting because of his embarrassment. She looked at his red shy face unable to keep contact with her.

'I never saw this side of Arthur-sama.'

All her life till now, Violet has always seen the confident Arthur, carefree Arthur, angry Arthur, and many kinds of him. But for the first time, she has seen him like this.

So cute!

*Giggles* *Laugh*

Violet looked at him and laughed.

"Y-You... Violet, don't laugh at me!!"

"Sorry... But Arthur-sama just now you were very cute."

"Wha?! Don't laugh! And don't say I am cute!"

Arthur and Violet went all the way in this jolly mood. Though they weren't able to become bonafide lovers... they became something more than just partners.

And who knows how they will become lovers?

---

While Arthur and Violet were in their world, in a wooden house inside a random forest, a very important group of people were present.

If anybody saw so many important people at once place, they would be shocked.

Because here are the people who could just single-handedly change the power balance of the world.

The Sage.

The Guru.

The Sword Saint.

King of Earlshide Kingdom and his attendants.

And lastly was a boy who was just of Arthur's age.

And the topic of discussion was about nobody but this young boy.

The boy has a childish face and violet hair which is quite rare. From his appearance, one could see his innocence.

He has a quite a build despite being a young boy of 15 years of age.

This boy is not just nobody. He is the grandson of the sage.

Shin Wolford.
