After being forcibly seized by German officers (85)
Chapter 85 Returning Home (Part 1)
"But...but William, your physical condition doesn't allow you to go to the front line again..."
You clenched your fists, fighting the lump in your throat, and looked at William.
When you saw William's sea-green velvet eyes filled with grayness and loneliness, you thought you already knew the answer.
"You wanted to go to the front line yourself."
You say it with certainty.
"Ina, you saw it all the way to the opera house. Germany shouldn't be protected by a bunch of children..."
William smiled at you comfortingly, but there were no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes caused by his smile.
"The war will soon be over, but until then, as a soldier of the Empire, I must fulfill my fundamental duty to defend my country. If it truly becomes necessary, it should be me, a decorated colonel, who will sacrifice my life for my country."
Sacrifice, sacrifice, it’s that word again. William at this moment reminds you of Schleicher again.
You placed your right hand on your left wrist. Whenever you get emotional, the healed scar on your left forearm will make you itch unbearably.
"Ina, I'm sorry that I made you worried and sad, but I know you can understand my mission as a soldier."
William noticed your low mood, and he took out a black velvet box from his military uniform pocket. When he opened it, he found a silver rose inside the box.
"Ina, do you know? Roses symbolize love and beauty. In ancient Greek mythology, they are the symbol of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In my heart, you are like a rose, sacred, innocent, and pure. To have such a rose bloom in my barren life has elevated and inspired my soul."
"William..."
Your heart was also shaken by William's undisguised analogy. He actually used the records in the Bible to metaphorically represent you as his own glory.
The Bible's Old Testament, the Book of Isaiah, states: "The wilderness and the dry land will rejoice, the desert will be glad and blossom like the rose, its blossoms will flourish and sing for joy. The glory of Lebanon, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon."
Under William's burning gaze, you still accepted the silver rose that William gave you and embraced his arms that were open to you.
"Captain William, as you've always told me, the war is about to end... Before everything is completely destroyed by the war, I sincerely hope that I can still have the opportunity to watch the cornflowers blooming all over the mountains with you."
You raised your head from William's embrace, looking at him with tears in your eyes, and said as playfully as you could: "This is what you promised me. Although I burned the letter, you are the one who takes your promises seriously, aren't you?"
"yes."
William tightened his arms around your waist. He seemed to want to kiss you, but after struggling for a while, he just chose to hug you.
But that embrace was not as calm as the receding tide. On the contrary, beneath the undercurrent was a deeper love.
"Ina, don't worry. I've already called Fel and told him I'm leaving. Fel will be back with you soon."
