Nathan took off the hug from Lova. Then looked at the girl's face. He really misses her more than anything.
"I'm happy to see you again" Nathan said.
"Me too" said Lova. He and Nathan held hands. Keep exchanging glances.
"I heard you fought a Titan. Is that true?" ask Nathan.
"Yes. But I'm not alone. There are a lot of people helping" Lova replied.
"You're a tough woman, Lova. I think you're tougher than me" Nathan praised. Making a wide smile expand on Lova's face.
"You're the one who made me tough, Prince. I wouldn't have been if it wasn't for you." Lova was serious about her words.
Nathan smiled haru. Her eyes never left Lova. A surprising question came out of the man's mouth.
"Will you marry me?" ask Nathan.
The deg!
Lova's heart immediately beat. She didn't expect Nathan to get her married that soon.
"You're sure you want to marry the girl" Lova hasn't had time to finish talking, Nathan already stuffed her mouth with a kiss. But it didn't last long. Nathan slowly removed his lip from Lova's mouth.
"I never even hesitated in the first place" Nathan said.
Lova smile. He's got Nathan's handsome face. "Of course I want to marry you" he said.
"Then, we'll prepare it after you're completely healed" Nathan responded.
"But what about the king's position? Titan is no longer king." Lova deliberately opened the topic of conversation about the king. He wanted to ascertain if Nathan was still reluctant to become king.
"Eitherway. It seems I have no choice. I wish there was someone who could replace me. A worthy and certainly trustworthy person." Nathan grunted rudely.
"What about Jade? I think he can take over the king's position well" Lova suggested.
Nathan's eyes were round. She did not expect Lova to propose Jaden.
"You trust that guy? After what he did to you?" Nathan hesitated.
Lova nodded without hesitation. "I doubted Jade at first. But after seeing his sacrifice for us, I think he can be trusted" he explained.
"You mean?" Nathan has no idea what Jaden's resistance is to Nathan. The man even almost died just because he wanted to save Axenia.
Love told me everything. Including the collapse of the Eden Night building, as well as the many of Jaden's men who died.
The facts about Jaden made Nathan think. If Jaden did so, the man deserved to be made king. Moreover, Jaden has also often been a leader for many people.
Shortly after, the person being talked about appeared from behind the door. Jaden is seen walking while carrying an infusion.
Pupil Jaden's eyes enlarged when he saw Lova was awake. He's feeling happy. Despite that, Jaden hid his joy as much as possible.
"Can I join?" ask Jaden.
"Come in!" sahut Nathan's. He invited Jaden to sit in one of the seats.
"Jade, me and Prince Nathan are discussing you" Lova said.
"Regard what?" ask Jaden while sitting down.
"Lova and I agreed to propose you as the king of Axenia" Nathan said. He sat down next to Jaden.
"What?!" Jaden was surprised. Even so, he did not give a statement of rejection at all.
"If the members of the kingdom agree to make you king, would you be willing?" Nathan asked seriously.
"I feel inappropriate" Jaden said.
"But leading a lot of people is your specialty. I'm sure you can do well" said Lova, who was convinced.
Jaden looked at Lova. The girl looked at him expectantly. The look made Jaden unable to resist. After all come to think of it, Lova would definitely marry Nathan. Jaden felt he had to do a lot of things in order to forget Lova.
"alright. I'm willing. But what about the people of Axenia? I doubt they'll accept me" Jaden said. Staring at Lova and Nathan in turn.
Lova replied, "As for that, leave everything to Prince Nathan. If the Prince trusts you, then the people of Axenia will do it too."
Nathan nodded. He felt that what Lova said was right.
...***...
Three days passed. The lova has fully recovered. He was taken by Nathan to the palace. Nathan tells the royal family that his marriage and Lova will be held.
"We were married secretly. So now we want to do it blatantly. All this talk, I also want to talk about the king's position" Nathan said in a loud voice. He immediately held a meeting with all the members of the kingdom.
There Nathan talks about his plan to make Jaden king. Honestly, the proposal did not experience difficult obstacles. Because the members of the kingdom already know how Jaden struggle against Titan.
While her future husband was busy discussing, Lova took a walk in the palace garden with Alana. They talk about a lot of things. Including the wishes of Alana who wants to leave the royal life. The girl wanted the same thing as Nathan.
"I want to live free. Ever since I was a kid, I always sneaked away to the village. I disguised myself as an ordinary citizen. And it feels so good" added Alana. Talk while holding a white rose.
"Prince Nathan had a dream like that as well. Once Jade officially becomes king, we will stay in the village. Life is calm and peaceful there," responded Lova. "But when are you going?" curious asked.
"After your wedding and Nathan's. I can't miss your big event, can I?" Alana nudges Lova with her elbow.
"of course. I'll be disappointed if you don't come" Lova replied.
