“Wendy…” Herman called softly, but he seemed to have lost the courage to utter any other sound than calling her name.
Herman had never been afraid of anything, because there was nothing worth being afraid of. However, the moment he saw Fengguang appear, he had already thought of countless ways to solve the problem that was about to come. He could make her forget this memory, or he could make her think that she had just seen a hallucination. An even simpler way was that no matter how she wanted to escape, he could easily imprison her by his side... All these conjectures were based on his fear of her leaving.
Fengguang would never know how much torment Herman had endured during her silence, but she also knew that silence could not solve any problems.
“Eve saved me…” Feng Guang looked at Herman, just as Herman looked at her. She didn’t know how to face Herman. “Herman…should I not have come?”
Eve was a glamorous lady-in-waiting. The moment she became a lady-in-waiting, she swore to be loyal to her master. So even if her grandfather pretended to be seriously ill again, or was really about to die, she would still save her master.
The only wrong decision the king and queen made was probably choosing Eve as their attendant for the sake of glory.
Hermann fell silent, his hands, hanging by his sides, slowly clenching into fists. Only from this small movement could one tell how tense he was.
“Hermann…” Feng Guang slowly walked towards him, took his hand, and he, who had been holding her hand tightly, instead took hers. “What are you thinking about?”
He lowered his eyes, his gaze dull and lifeless. "Wendy, are you scared?"
“Why be afraid?” She looked at him intently with her captivating eyes. “Hermann, we’re going to be husband and wife, aren’t we?”
“Yes… Wendy.” He had his other arm around her waist. “We’ll get married. We’ll be husband and wife.”
"So...you won't hurt me, and you won't hurt my family." She leaned against him, her cheek against his chest, and said softly, "Hermann, no matter who you are, no matter what you look like in front of me, I know that the person I love is you."
He slowly tightened his arms around her waist, pressing his body close to hers. "Wendy, I really... really like you."
“I know, but Herman…” She looked up, his face reflected in her brown eyes, and said earnestly, “I don’t want immortality. I love my body now; it’s my own body. I don’t want to… I don’t want to live on in a shell. Herman, wouldn’t it be better if we just lived this life well? No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side. Maybe in the future, we’ll have children… We can watch them grow up, see them get married and have children. We have so many things to experience… Don’t you agree?”
“Yes…” Herman’s hand trembled slightly as he stroked her cheek. “I still have so many things to do with Wendy. I don’t need immortality. All I need is Wendy.”
His voice trembled slightly, and even carried a hint of ingratiation.
The high and mighty Hermann was willing to put himself in the most humble position just to keep her... as long as he could keep her.
Feng Guang felt he didn't need to do this at all, because she had never intended to leave him. She hugged his waist and nuzzled his chest, saying, "Hermann, I don't want to be a princess or a dark woman. I want to be your wife. Will you take me away?"
Herman could not refuse such a tempting request. The Holy See was the result of his years of work, but it could not be said to be his life's work. Even if it was his life's work, it could not compare to the status of Fengguang in his heart.
He gently kissed her lips. "Okay, let's leave together."
At this moment, Arno, who was lying on the ground injured, stood up and said, "Hermann, you can't leave!"
Eve slammed her sword hilt down, knocking Arno, who had just gotten up, back to the ground. Arno lay there, already injured, and now he felt even more dizzy.
A black magic circle appeared, and Herman and Fengguang's figures had already disappeared.
"Why are you stopping me?" Arno knew it would be very difficult for him to find Herman again, and he was still very unwilling to be unable to avenge his parents.
Eve said expressionlessly, "Herman is the princess's husband, and therefore half of my master. If you want to kill Herman, you'll have to get past me first."
Arno looked at his injuries... It would be a miracle if he could beat Eve!
No matter how unwilling Arno was, Herman and Fengguang seemed to have disappeared into the territory of the Summer Kingdom, and could not be found again.
