We all agreed to hold the weddings after 2 days. We also agreed that we will just have a simple ceremony since Tora doesn’t want a grand wedding for them. She said that being with my brother was already enough for her.
Sirens rarely celebrate weddings since they have a limited number of females. They only held weddings every time they could get a female who would be willing to ept a few of them.
After lunch time, I asked the others to give Dn and me some time to talk because I have some questions regarding some matters. They all agreed and left us in the dining hall alone. Dn also had his people step outside since I asked for some privacy.
“Hmm… Before I ask some questions… No matter what I ask… Please answer honestly, even if it feels ufortable,” I said hesitantly.
He nodded with a confused look.
“I just want to ask what exactly will happen to the Stone of Oath if ever I vanish. Also, what will happen to those who have a spousal rtionship with me? Is it simr to the spousal dissolution of regr beastmen?” I asked seriously.
His tears suddenly streamed down to his face while looking at me with disbelief.
“Sorry… I know it is ufortable asking you about this, but I want a clear answer. I just want to prepare everything in case worsees to worst,” I exined while trying to wipe his tears using my bare hands.
He held both of my hands and pulled one to his lips while holding the other tightly. He pressed his lips against my palm while his tears kept streaming down from his emerald eyes.
My heart hurt as I saw him in pain, though I badly needed his answer.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
“Sorry… If you really can’t answer… I won’t force you. It’s just that… You are the only one who could answer these questions,” I mumbled while looking away in guilt.
He suddenly pulled me near and hugged me, wrapping his right arm on my waist while holding the back of my head using his left hand.
He cried and whispered, “I will find a way to bring you back, even at the cost of my immortality and power. I’ll vanish if you vanish. Even if your soul shatters into pieces, I’ll gather them all and bring you back at the cost of my life. You are the only reason I exist. The only reason I was loyal to the queen and the first ruler even at the cost of my blood and race. I love you enough to die for you.”
His body glowed so I pulled away in surprise and I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my chest as a crest of an oath suddenly appeared exactly at the location of my heart simr to Dn.
“What’s this?” I gasped as I breathed heavily due to the sensation of the sudden pain.
“It’s an Oath. With this, I will be brought to your location once the situation is dire, no matter what ce it is. It will also protect you using the power of the water. It might not be as strong as your Oath, I believe it would be of use,” he grinned while his tears streamed down continuously.
I couldn’t hold back my tears and cried while hugging him as I whispered, “I don’t know what to do with all of you.”
***********************************
After we both calmed down, Dn sent me back to my room leaving a sweet kiss on my forehead before going back to his people to prepare the things needed for the wedding. I was flustered when I suddenly saw Dillon, Lowell and Macan by the door of their room.
“I won’t hinder you as long as she agrees,” Dillon mumbled with an irritated tone, then went inside their room without looking at me.
Lowell tapped Macan’s shoulder trice before following Dillon inside.
They shut the door on Macan’s back and didn’t make any sound. I was wondering what happened that they both looked exasperated but still tried to keep their cool.
“What’s up with those two?” I asked Macan.
“Can I talk to you?” he responded.
“Hmm… Right! I also need to talk to you. Let’s talk in my room,” I answered as I walked in my room.
Macan held the door for me before going in and closing it behind him.
I went straight to the cushion in front of my bed and sat and waited for Macan to settle on the seat. He looked hesitant and worried as he sat quietly on one of the cushions in front of me.
“Mac… Will it be alright if I go first?” I asked while observing his reaction.
“Sure! I think it’s better if you go first..,” he answered while fidgeting his hands without looking at me.
“Hmm… In our Forest Lion Tribe, the male gives gifts to the family of the female as a part of the courtship ritual. You are Tora’s only family and I promised my brother that I will prepare the gift for you, but I don’t know what to give to you,” I exined while looking at his hands.
He sighed and said, “I’m okay even if you don’t give me anything. I doubt Tory never told you how cheap I was before.”
“Haha! Right! I remember her saying that multiple times before,ining how you never bought a new set of underwear for 3 years. Then when she asked you to buy her a dress for her birthday, you bought her a dress from a thrift shop,” I chuckled, holding my stomach and covering my mouth, trying to control myughter while reminiscing about the past.
He looked flushed and exined, “Sh*t! I can’t believe she really said that. I was short at that time. I just bought a house for her as a surprise because she said she was nning to settle down with her boyfriend. I didn’t tell her because I was still finalizing the payment.”
“Oh my god! Seriously?!” I jolted.
“I also bought a ring so I couldn’t buy her the dress,” he continued.
“Wait… Ring? Shouldn’t it be bought by her boyfriend?” I asked in confusion.
“No! It’s not for them! It’s… for you..,” he answered, flushed as he leaned forward.
I was speechless for a moment and tried to look away and tried to change the subject, “A-Anyway… I’ll just grant you a wish instead of a gift. Will that be alright?”
“I only have one wish and I doubt that you don’t know what it is,” he mumbled as he sat back down properly.
“Dr. Macklin Laurier! I’m serious..,” I shouted, looking at him seriously.
“Ms. Kim Ahri Gaumond… I’m not making fun of you. You know what it is,” he replied bluntly.
