Chapter 345 - Gift

Late night. Hearthstone Tavern.

Joshua was in his study looking at the ceiling. An originium crystal emitting a warm light was present on the ceiling. The originium crystal dispersed the darkness in the room. An unknown insect was attracted by the light and flying around the originium crystal nonstop.

Today, Ciri had returned to her room very early. The reason for that was because she had entered a state of embarrassment after she finished making her declarations in the carriage.

Joshua was also affected by the atmosphere. He never expected for Ciri to be so serious when making her 'lifelong declaration' in front of him. Momentarily, Joshua was at a loss as to how to respond.

"I don't think that's any different from entrusting one's life… or a marriage proposal?"

As Joshua pondered how to face Ciri tomorrow, a crow landed on his study's window sill.
