Extra-chapter 35.5: Behind the Scenes

"So... What brings you here today?" Rae asked, smiling in anticipation.

Orpheus, who had never asked for a favor before, took a deep breath and sighed as he swallowed his pride.

"I... need your help..."

"About what? If it's within my power, I'm willing to lend you a hand."

Orpheus took a deep breath, "It's about Rhiana..."

Upon hearing her name, Rae flinched and failed to keep his composure.

"W-what about her?" he asked worriedly.

"You see... I was planning to propose to her and I'm planning-"

"Hold on, propose you mean, for a wedding? Have you thought about this carefully?"

"I understand your concern, Jerome has said the same thing to me. But I've finally made up my mind..." Orpheus gazed at him, "I want to marry Rhiana and spend the rest of my life with her."

Seeing the decisiveness in his eyes and how his lips slowly arch to form a smile, Rae knew right away that he was serious with his words.
