Chapter 432: In The Hall of the Outer King

"What was that?"

I closed my lips and thought. Next to me, Titania had her mouth covered and was squealing.

What did I say?

"Would you?" I asked again, slightly shocked at the words that left me. It was almost as if I had no control over myself.

Lethe grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. She leaned down and whispered in my ears.

"You are the one who doesn't get a choice," she said. "You will marry me. You get no choice."

I nodded.

"That was the plan, of course."

Lethe stayed like that for a second.

"You want to get married now? Right now?"

"If it's possible."

A short round of silence loomed.

Her breaths passed by her veil and fell on my neck and ears.

"Do you want a big ceremony?"

"Of course not…"'

I gently ran my hand through her hair. It was still as soft as before. I almost felt sad since our hair didn't share the same color anymore.

Lethe continued speaking in a soft whisper.
