“I just…” Olivia turned around, placing her right hand on Leon’s shoulder, her body instinctively moving closer, feeling his tangible presence.

“I dreamed you were hurt, I even dreamed of the dreadful fate that befell Selva…” The girl’s voice grew sad, her right hand unconsciously gripping the fabric on his shoulder tighter, “I’m too weak; this isn’t a one-on-one fight.

If, like before, we face too many knights and soldiers attacking us, I fear I won’t be able to protect you…

I can’t bear the thought of losing you…”

Listening to Olivia’s confession, Leon felt a surge of indescribable happiness that electrified his spine, warming his heart due to her show of vulnerability to him.

He extended his left hand to the side, covering the girl’s tensely held hand that seemed afraid of losing him.

“I won’t be harmed, don’t underestimate me.

Back then, with only Azeryan and Lokhak by my side, I managed to overcome great dangers and reach you despite my disheveled state.

Now, with you all by my side, armed with my current martial arts skills, owning my own army, and with the support of allies, what does this little scene account for?

I envision commanding thousands of troops to reclaim our homeland one day.

Plus, we have reinforcements.

If we can’t overcome them, we can just retreat—it’s not like we must stay and fight to the death in Longka.

Besides, have you forgotten?

Your fiancé is none other than the distinguished Square Banner Knight of the Thorny Flower Family!” Leon boasted playfully.

He spoke in a funny voice close to the girl’s ear, “Even if I really accidentally lose the battle, as long as I don’t die on the spot, the enemy wouldn’t take my life easily.

They would rescue me; my life is valuable.

Mamor is worth a fortune, I am worth at least two thousand gold coins.

When the time comes, you can’t ignore me just because we aren’t married yet—you must pay enough ransom to rescue your husband, otherwise, I might just cry my eyes dry in prison…

wuuu~”

As Leon’s comical tone continued, Olivia couldn’t help but chuckle, a bit annoyed, she raised a hand and fiercely pinched his cheek, “I don’t have that many gold coins…

I’m not rescuing you.

Don’t you dare lose~”

“Ouch…”

Leon grimaced, the girl’s grip was no joke, and he quickly begged for mercy, “Okay okay, my Lady Olivia, I swear, I’ll ensure victory, okay?

Lightly, please, it hurts~!”

Hearing that, Olivia reluctantly smiled with relief.

She stopped pinching and instead gently massaged Leon’s cheek, “Sorry…

It’s just too comfortable being with you, it always makes me want to act spoiled…”

Leon closed his eyes to enjoy her touch, smiling tenderly, “What are you talking about?

We are lovers; why wouldn’t you be spoiled with me?

I’m not just okay with it, I love it.

I wish…

I could be this close to you every day.”

He could no longer restrain himself, and took Olivia in his arms, embracing her lovingly.

“But I shouldn’t burden you…

you’re too tired.”

Olivia nestled into his embrace, her eyelids drooping, guilt rising within her.

“Tired?”

Leon paused, taking a deep breath.

He patted her back, his voice tenderly reassuring, “What are you thinking about?

I’m not tired at all; those lumberjacks, they are the tired ones.

Everyone is tired, but there are moments to clear their minds…

Yet, I see you always smiling at everyone…

constantly carrying everyone’s burden on your shoulders, never resting your mind.” Olivia said lovingly, wrapping her arms around her lover’s neck, gently persuading him, “Leon, you need to rest.”

“…”

Leon lightly relaxed his tensed nerves.

He squinted, lovingly bowing his head, feeling the closeness with the girl.

Feeling fatigue rise from deep within, an unprecedented vulnerability filled his heart, which seemed to always shrug everything off.

“Thank you, Olivia.”

Leon slowly realized he was losing the confidence and dominance he had always maintained.

He couldn’t even stop himself from pleading with the girl, “I…

I want a kiss, like the one we had that day…

can I?”

He just felt, as if the woman in his arms could encompass all of him.

His vulnerability, his worries, his fears, his fatigue…

Olivia smiled tenderly, without any hesitation, her voice sweet as she granted his request.

“Sure~”

With care, she cradled Leon’s face in her palms.

Tilting her head, Olivia’s soft lips delivered a tender and warm kiss to him.

Feeling her tenderness…

Leon felt as though he could dissolve into Olivia’s love.

As they parted, he experienced a heart-fluttering sensation as if falling in love for the first time.

Embracing each other tightly, he even feared that what he had was merely a prolonged illusion.

“Olivia…

Olivia…”

He murmured her name softly, feeling her delicate corporeal existence.

He endured his longing, fearing to awaken from this intoxicating dream.

“…Leon~” Feeling this warmth, Olivia snuggled closer.

Her gaze was dreamy.

She climbed to his ear, holding back her shyness, whispered comforting murmurs of dependence, “…it’s okay…

Leon, I don’t want to lose you…

If it can make you relaxed, I’m willing…

to accept all of you…”

Leon’s heartbeat peaked with her rushed breathing.
