"Oh! What kind of emotional complications a blue blood like you can have? I am really curious.", She was really curious about Arthur so she wanted to find out all the details she can.
'well, I died and timetraveled back in the past, also got a really perverted system which forces my hand into leading the life of a playboy. Not that I mind. ',
Just kidding, Like I will say that out loud.
Arthur thought inwardly while getting close to Kaine.
"well, I would've loved to talk about my emotional complications if you were my lover but you aren't? But being my lover that offer is always on the table. If you accept it, we can always discuss my emotional complications in a private place.", Arthur's eye shined with a mischievous glint.
Kaine took a step away from Arthur, "What private place? "
"You know like a private room in an inn or something like that. Or, do you prefer it outdoor? ", Arthur replied nonchalantly.
Although Arthur tried to sound as nonchalant as possible, Kaine still became aware of his intentions.
"You! you never give up, do you? ", Kaine felt embarrassed, angry, helplessness and plenty of other mix of emotions.
"Never ", Arthur admitted.
He took the time to talk to Kaine, and brought her to a lookout next to the border wall to talk alone. Arranging this was easy with his identity, he just had to order the guards in here. They were more than happy to suck up to him.
From the edge of the lookout, the vast land outside the rectangular open window could be seen. They stood by the corners of windowsill each and appreciated the beautiful landscape and the late afternoon sun.
As he was looking at her beautiful face from that close range, his mind became chaos and his heart began beating faster every second he sees her face.
Aware of his intense gaze, she suddenly asked " what is it? "
" How about you become my girlfriend from this day? " he said abruptly.
He was half-joking and half-serious, if her answer is positive, he would push it until the end but if her answer is negative, well it means he needs to try harder next time.
Kaine looked at Arthur, seeing his handsome face looking right at her, emitting lots of affection, it was so intense as if the summer winds were drowning her in happiness.
Kaine had a flushed expression, she quickly turned around, not daring to look at Arthur directly.
They walked quite a distance today. At that time, they walked together and of course, he never stopped teasing her until her face was red like a tomato. So she just wanted to make him stop teasing her for today. "Do you still want to tease me?"
He approached her and held her waist from behind. "I think I didn't make it clear. I mean that when I saw you, I found you interesting, and when I saw your beautiful face and aqua colored hair, I really wanted to have you only to myself."
" Alright, I'll become your lover. " she said as she looked at him lovingly
" really? " asked Arthur. He didn't know it was this easy, making him hard to believe it.
" of course not. I'm just joking. I am even older than you, still you want me to become your lover ? " she said
Hearing that, the corner of his lips twitched, but he didn't give up because there was a little positive answer in her reply so he only needs to push it all the way.
Kaine was wavering about what she should do. When she felt Arthur's resolution and determination to win her heart, she also felt moved and thought that it was time to get in a relationship. Afterall, she wasn't getting any younger. IF she waited more, she might even loose her appeal. But even so, she felt this was too fast-paced for her.
"OK, then let me ask your heart what it really wants. This is a skill of mine that can make one speak from the heart. With it we will know what you really want in your heart. "
"really, this kind of skill exists?", Kaine expressed her doubts.
Arthur activated his skill [Exposed Secret].
Then he asked Kaine, "Do you have romantic or sexual feelings for me? tell me from the bottom of your heart if you want, really want me as your lover."
Kaine was in euphoric state as she stated her secret,"yes, of course I want but I am afraid if it seems too fast. What if he thinks I am easy and loose woman."
When she spoke till here, she snapped back from his skill influence.
"What was that? I cannot believe I said that out loud. " Kaine was stupefied by what she said just now.
" Why not? Love is blind, you know. Also, it's the truth. You were just afraid to admit and over thinking things for silly reasons. I also like you and am pursuing you. Do you think I am a man of no taste? " he said
'why does it feel like he is praising himself and criticizing me at the same time?' , She had no choice but to admit defeat at this juncture. "Alright, I will not avoid my feelings anymore."
"Then does it mean-"
"yes, can I be your lover?", Kaine asked Arthur bashfully.
"Anytime darling, I will never let you go from this day on. "
The sun set in the sky, as fresh colors brushed upon a painter's canvas, as if those rays were destined to shape a great work of art - one given to those open to capturing simple moments in the soul.
They looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds before finally, Arthur brought his face closer to her face and kissed her pink lips gently. After kissing for about ten seconds, Arthur broke the kiss and looked at her lovingly. "Kaine, I love you."
Here they spend their time for the rest of the evening and watched the sunset together.
