After a little playful bickering, Verafia gently rested her little head on Ig’s shoulder. Her raised, large eyes gazed at the vast starry twilight, her exquisite eyelashes blinking against her beautiful, large eyes, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.
“Especially after sealing away my power as a deity. At that time, I was truly a sickly girl who needed Ig’s protection…”
The girl’s red lips moved, and a soft, bright color lit up in her large eyes. She recalled that time in the frigid northern plains, the farewells, the losses. It should have been a sad memory, but when savored, it was like honeyed pomelo tea, exuding a different kind of sweetness.
“Ah, I still remember, back then, I always said I wanted to marry you, this guy, and be your little pampered wife… Hmm, it’s too embarrassing, I actually ended up wearing a wedding dress… Was I really thinking that if there was a final moment, I absolutely had to be your bride?”
As the sweet memories were spoken from her lips, Verafia couldn’t help but feel a blush creep onto her porcelain-white, beautiful little face. It was strange; despite it being a thoroughly embarrassing matter, she couldn’t resist wanting to speak about it. Her immature chest pounded, filled with anticipation and sweetness.
Verafia couldn’t help but tilt her little head, her long eyelashes fluttering. In her heart, she wondered, for a girl, is the sweetest thing truly wearing pure white wedding attire and marrying the person she likes?
Ig stroked the girl’s delicate, golden hair, and couldn’t help but curl his lips upwards.
“Back then, Veer, in my eyes, was the most beautiful girl. However, it was only for a fleeting moment. Later, Veer shyly backed out… If possible, I really wish I could have looked at her for a little longer.”
“Hmm, you stupid Ig! Marrying you wasn’t this young lady. The Veer back then was today’s Herafir sister! You guy, if you want to see it, let sister wear the wedding dress!”
It was one thing to say it herself, but hearing Ig mention it made the feeling completely different. Verafia’s cheeks flushed, and she feigned a strong demeanor, yelling a few words before immediately burying her little head in Ig’s embrace.
Ig smiled. The girl in his arms was like a docile cat, and his palm gently stroked her soft golden strands. The girl suddenly grabbed his hand, her snow-white face reflected in his eyes. Timidly, she lifted her head, her gorgeous gold eyes filled with panic:
“Um, Ig, do you… think I’m two-faced?”
Her blinking eyelashes cast varied shadows across the girl’s tender skin. Verafia’s slender fingers couldn’t help but tighten. “I always said I wanted to be your wife before, but now that I’ve become a Goddess Princess again, I’ve been avoiding you. Ig, do you think I’m deliberately giving you the cold shoulder?”
Ig was initially taken aback by the girl’s action, but seeing her flustered appearance sparked a playful smile. He gently took the girl’s little hand in his. Her slender, exquisite fingers were like delicate jade as they intertwined with his.
“How could I? Knowing that Veer cares about me and is willing to let me stay by your side, I’m already very satisfied.”
“But, just being together, how is that enough…”
Verafia’s beautiful gold eyes slightly lowered her slender eyelashes. She suddenly noticed Ig watching her playfully and quickly struggled out of his embrace, raising her head and saying loudly, “At least, at least wait until we go home! I want to go with Ig to meet Ig’s family!”
“Veer, you…”
As if she had finally gathered the courage to speak out loud, Verafia’s heart pounded. Her snow-white jade cheeks were tinged with a blush, and her light breaths diffused, as if condensing frost in the quiet night.
“I hope to become Ig’s wife, and Ig, you can’t always indulge me. Moreover, Ig’s family is also my family. Ig’s younger sister… Shiel, this time, I have to make her willingly call me sister.”
She raised her eyes, then tightened her grip on Ig’s hand. Seeming to realize her words were too direct, her little face flushed again, and she buried her little head once more: “Um, in short, it’s not because of you. Hmm, it’s just that this young lady herself wants to do it!”
“Shiel… that girl. She must have grown up all these years. She’ll definitely like Veer and apologize to Veer.”
Ig also remembered his clingy sister.
They were still far away in Peka, under the rule of the Abyss, their lives uncertain. Even though the Empire’s intelligence chief had informed them that the Abyss’s power in the Peka Kingdom did not encompass the entire territory, and resistance forces were springing up across the kingdom, with the banner protecting Marquis Mays, Ig had worried about his family more than once.
However, this was the girl’s sweetest wish and her most sincere blessing. Ig also preferred to anticipate a better future.
As fleeting thoughts crossed his mind, Ig smiled.
He cupped the girl’s face. Her fair, jade-like beautiful little face fluttered with slender eyelashes, her golden eyes filled with nervousness, but she deliberately widened them bravely. That jade-like skin, tinged with a blush, only enhanced her delicate beauty.
Closing his eyes, as if treating the most precious of artworks, Ig kissed her gently.
“Thinking of that day arriving, I can’t wait anymore… I really want to end all this soon.”
It was just a simple sigh, but the warmth of the young man’s touch reached her face, heating her cheeks into a blush.
When the young man slowly raised his face, Verafia quickly stood up from his embrace and looked at the starry sky. Her large eyes suddenly lit up:
“Ig, look! It’s a meteor shower!”
Ig turned his head, looking doubtfully at the girl excitedly jumping and pointing. In the serene night sky, a streak of starlight blazed, and he couldn’t help but chuckle, “Meteor showers don’t look like this. Hmm, let me guess, could this be something Veer did herself?”
“How could that be!”
Verafia shamelessly shook her little head vigorously. She pulled Ig’s hand, her large eyes sparkling, and urged, “That’s right, the Goddess Princess said that if you make a wish upon a meteor, your wish will definitely come true! Ig, why don’t you quickly make a wish!”
“Alright. But, Veer has to do it too.”
That idiot, why would anyone let the Goddess Princess make a wish together?
Verafia glared at him angrily. However, the black-haired young man had already closed his eyes, his hands clasped in front of him, and began to make a wish.
This guy is doing it on purpose!
Verafia tilted her head, thinking irritably. Her slender fingers brushed her hair as she watched a meteor streak by.
This was indeed her little trick, but making a wish upon a meteor… would the wish really come true?
Verafia also felt a sense of longing.
Her exquisite eyelashes blinked gently. She closed her eyes, searching for her wish.
