Wang Ran stared blankly at Anna.
In the midst of Anna's vows, the surrounding woods disappeared, Axina disappeared, the sound of the wind disappeared, and even the birdsong vanished.
It was as if the entire universe had distanced itself from them.
Wang Ran gazed at Anna.
At this moment, they only had eyes for each other.
"No matter what darkness or storms the future may hold, you are the sail and Compass that guide me to survival!"
All was silent, save for Anna's devout murmuring.
"I will never be able to leave your side, not even by half a step!"
"I will follow you to any future, no matter what it looks like!"
"Until swords break and lives end! Until shields shatter and souls vanish!"
"With that, my vow is made!"
Wang Ran snapped out of his bizarre state back to clarity.
The woods returned, Axina returned, the sound of the wind and the birdsong came back, and the world once again became lively and lovely.
Wang Ran felt an intangible bond.
