Chapter 251

“Reina. I want to do it.”
“…Cough. P-Pardon me…?”
What exactly do you want?
Frozen like a stone statue due to the ambiguous statement, Reina temporarily forgot the ticklish sensation. Ethan then chuckled softly and whispered close to her ear.
“Do you not want to?”
“Um… Exactly what is it that you want to do?”
“What do you think?”
“……”
This guy is getting cheekier by the day.
“Well, I guess…”
Honestly, she knew it was bound to happen someday.
But she hadn’t expected it to be right at this moment. Perhaps that’s why her face was visibly flustered.
As she tried to scoot back to escape from Ethan’s embrace, he held her even tighter.
“Why are you trying to run away?”
“I’m not running away. I’m just…”
Well, she really was trying to escape though.
Watching her fidget as she was unable to continue her sentence, Ethan swiftly spun her around to face him.
Suddenly close, his face, the vividly fresh scent typical of Ethan, his red lips, and his black hair tickling her forehead filled all of her senses.
“Do you not want to?”
“Well… it’s not that I don’t want to…”
Now, at this time, and in this place… Isn’t it a bit much?
Ethan, halting any further rambling, gently captured her blush-colored lips.
His sudden kiss, fervent with thirst and desire, intensely stirred her mouth, yet when her breath faltered, he gave her respite with short kisses. Was this how they would start their first time?
‘Seriously…?’
I haven’t even properly washed? And here at the Venzen residence?
Despite being mentally overwhelmed by the situation, somewhere deep inside, a little hint of resentment began to bloom.
‘I don’t want it this way…’
She hadn’t expected grand romance, but still… she had hoped for something a bit special.
“Reina.”
Just then, Ethan broke away from the kiss and softly stroked her quivering lips with his thumb.
With her gaze averted in a whirl of complicated emotions, he rested his forehead against hers and asked cautiously.
“So, will you marry me?”
“…What?”
Marry? What is he talking about all of a sudden?
“I intended to proceed with the engagement after completing the reforms, but ever since you disappeared, my patience has completely crumbled away.”
As she blinked in confusion, failing to follow the conversation, Ethan slightly leaned back and took her hand gently.
“I will propose formally again next time. But I want to hear your answer now, Reina.”
Ah… so the ‘I want to do it’ wasn’t about that but about marriage…
“……”
The scene of her previous outburst, as if possessed by a randy angel, now seemed embarrassingly ridiculous.
Was he aware of all this beforehand? Ethan let out a small laugh and kissed her near her eyes.
“Of course, I don’t wish to have our first time in a place like this. So don’t worry.”
“……”
Seeing the smile on his face, so full of love, Reina realized he might have deliberately been ambiguous with his words.
“…Ethan, did you do that on purpose?”
He tilted his head slightly, smiling slyly. Not quite a yes, but his expression wasn’t a denial either.
“I got really flustered because of that.”
Embarrassed even further, Reina tried to push him away in a playful sulk, but Ethan instead clasped the hand that was pushing him.
“But you’re just too adorable.”
“Tch…”
As she melted easily with just a few words, he smiled softly and snapped his fingers.
With that, a small box magically popped out of thin air and landed snugly in Ethan’s large palm.
“Huh? What’s that?”
Instead of answering, he opened the box. Immediately, a soft gasp of admiration escaped from Reina’s lips.
“Wow…”
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, it’s beautiful. Is this really mine?”
“In this world, the only person I would gift a ring to is you and only you.”
“Ethan…”
Did you attend a school for sweet talk? Saying things like this, you’re going to make me melt.
Reina gently cradled her flushed cheeks and murmured softly.
“Me too.”
Ethan leaned in closer, as if expecting a longer response.
Really, when did he become so slick? The nickname ‘Cerulean Freak’ no longer suited him.
Reina smiled faintly, grabbed his cheeks, and pecked his lips.
“The only person I’d want to put a ring on my finger in this whole wide world is you, Ethan.”
“Good. It would have been a big problem if there was someone else.”
“What kind of big problem?”
Pretending not to know, she asked while feigning ignorance, and he tenderly touched her earlobe.
“Do you want to know?”
“Hmm… Actually, I think I’d rather not hear it.”
Might as well not listen to the half-joking, half-serious backstory now and lose sleep over worries later.
Seeming to read her mind, Ethan smiled. Then, he carefully took the ring out of the box he was holding.
