I slowly closed Clara's lips.
Clara's lips were slightly salty due to tears. I didn't go for a deep kiss. Instead, I gently touched her lips and sent my warmth to her.
When the kiss ended, Clara showed me a small smile. "… Thank you." He then used his sleeves to wipe his tears.
I held his arm and smiled. Then, I used my finger to slowly and carefully wipe away her tears. “... Clara, I promise to marry you in this life.”
Clara was stunned, but in the next second, she smiled bitterly. "… Please Claus, stop." He then let go of my hand and stood up.
But before he could leave, I grabbed his arm again.
“You don't believe me, do you?” I curled my lips upwards.
“... Claus, I heard about your situation. Please, just cancel our agreement. It's enough if you remember about me in the future. ”
I smiled bitterly. It seems Clara has given up completely.
"Let me show you something." I wrapped my hand around her waist and whispered in her ear. Clara blushed, but before she could react, she felt the scene change around her.
Then, we appeared in the clouds.
Clara put on a surprised expression, but when she looked down and saw how tall we were, her mind was blank.
In the next instant, a scream attacked my ears.
“Kyaaaaaa!!!!” Clara closed her eyes and started thrashing in my arms.
“Clara, relax, relax! I'm here.. come on, calm down.” I hugged Clara tightly and put my head on her shoulder.I then kissed her cheeks and head and tried to calm her down.
"Come on, take a deep breath." I whispered softly in a soft voice.
Clara heard my words and took a deep breath.
"Better?" ask me while smiling.
“Mm.”
“... Now, open your eyes.”
Clara's eyelids shook, but she decided to trust my words and slowly opened her eyes.
Instantly, a clear blue and bright green filled his sigh.
White clouds with strange shapes dotted the sky. Clara felt as if she could touch them just by extending her hand
“This...” Clara widened her mouth in surprise. I smiled with a proud expression when I saw his reaction. “we are in the clouds above the capital.”
“!!!”
“Shocked?” manyu tease. Clara looked at my face and nodded. "How's it?"
"Well, you can do things like this when you're strong enough."
Clara's mouth formed an enormous 'O' when she heard my words.
He could not understand how much power one must have to move from the ground to the clouds in an instant. Furthermore, they were floating in the sky!
Eleventh layer? The twelfth layer? Or maybe outside of it?
“Klau, you..”.
I kissed her forehead with a smile. “Do you understand now, dear? I am strong, very strong! So tell me, do you still think that I won't be able to marry you?”
Clara's dumbfounded. But in the next moment, his face reddened with excitement. (If Claus is so strong, then maybe.).
“Claus, do you really mean it !? Are you going to marry me!?” Clara asked with a hopeful expression.
Clara smiled happily, but the next second, her face was filled with tears again.
“Sorry... It's just.. I..” Clara tried to wipe her tears, but her tears were getting heavier. Her smiling expression was distorted by tears, but I found her current expression even more beautiful. “I'm very happy... Claus, I'm very happy... I don't want to cry..
I held her shoulder and gently hugged her. Clara continued to cry, venting out all her grievances happily.
Now that he knew I was so strong, he was finally relieved. Happiness came so suddenly that he was unable to process it.
If I'm so strong, then I can protect his family.
Clara didn't understand how strong I was, but she knew that what I was doing just now wasn't something anyone could do.
“I'm sorry, Clara. I let you suffer for too long.”
"Nn-nn, it's okay. It's okay."
“Is that? Unfortunately, I won't be able to get married soon.”
“... Huh?” Clara put on a confused expression.
"I don't want to show you my strength yet." I've explained. “So you will have to wait a while longer to marry me. Also, keep my powers secret.”
Clara's expression softened. “It doesn't matter. I don't mind waiting.. Even if I have to wait for a hundred years, I will wait happily!”
“... Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long.” I smiled wryly.
Clara looked at me and nodded. He then brought his lips to my lips and gave me a kiss.
"But Claus, what should I do?"
“Nothing, you can become a holy princess if you want. I will take you with me when I finish finishing everything. ”
"Then, engagement."
“Of course we didn't cancel it. We will just say that we did not reach an agreement.”
“... Mm.”
"Okay, let's go back then."
Clara put on a disappointed face but nodded. "Good."
As soon as we returned to the room, I kissed Clara again. Clara happily kissed me back with an expression of pure happiness.
We shared a kiss without holding back, enjoying the warmth of each other.
"… My husband." Clara whispered and caressed my cheek. "I'm very happy."
“We are not yet husband and wife.” I laugh.
“No, Claus, from today onwards, I'm your wife. Even if we can't yet receive our blessings, I will give everything for you.”
I understood Clare's point.
"Are you sure?" i asked.
“Mm.” Clare nodded with a loving expression. “However, we have to be careful. It would be bad if someone found us. ”
I smile. "Don't worry. If I don't want to let them find anything, they won't find anything!”
Then, I picked her up and carried her like a princess.
“Kyaaaa!” Clare cried out in shock, but her face was filled with happiness and excitement.
A second later, we disappeared from the room again.
