To Not Live in Regret

"Not everyone cares about things like that. When you love someone, don't you accept them no matter who or what they are," Stella smiled and Zafir's heart skipped a beat before going wild once again.

"My lady, do you also believe that?" Zafir asked with a hopeful heart.

"Of course. Everyone is equal in love. If I ever fall in love, I don't really care much about status. I just want someone who would be true to me and care about me all my life," Stella said and Zafir gazed at her in awe. Hope bloomed in his heart and he had the urge to kiss her but stopped himself.

"But of course, he has to be able to get along well with my family. With how father and brother are, I don't think they would ever approve of anyone. I might never get married. Well, not that I mind. I can just go traveling all my life and retire at a peaceful and cozy place when I'm old," Stella added.

'Right. If I want to ever have a chance, I have to be someone they could approve of.'
