"Brother Arthur, now for my second request!" she exclaimed, interrupting him with an air of eagerness.
The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched as he let out a helpless sigh.
"Alright, what's the matter?" he asked in a casual tone.
Unsure of the current situation and why things were not as they used to be, he was genuinely curious about Anna's state of mind.
Anna's face displayed hesitancy once more, her palms rubbing together nervously.
"It's... um... I..." Her voice quivered, breaking in its delivery.
"Hm? What is it?" Arthur inquired once again, his curiosity piqued.
"I... I want you to marry me!" Anna exclaimed, her voice suddenly rising in volume as if she had summoned all her strength to utter those words.
She breathed a sigh of relief, placing her hand over her chest as she shyly glanced at Arthur.
Arthur himself froze in surprise, his gaze fixed on Anna with a peculiar expression.
