"Close your eyes," Rudy said calmly.
"Why?"
"Just do it, or it wouldn't be as impactful."
Rias reluctantly closed her eyes and said, "You better not pull a nasty prank like kissing me or something."
"Don't call kissing a nasty thing. And no, I am not going to do such things."
Rudy got up from his chair and sat on one knee in front of Rias' chair. He took a deep breath and said: "You may open your eyes."
Rias slowly opened her eyes and saw Rudy sitting in front of her with her hand in his hand and something in his other hand.
"What are you…" Before she could finish what she was saying, Rudy revealed what was in his other hand.
His was a ring made from diamond. However, it wasn't an actual ring. It was simply shaped as a ring with broken pieces of a diamond.
"What…"
Rudy smiled gently at Rias and asked, "Rias, would you like to marry me?"
"...."
"...."
"Uhh…."
"Please don't reject me. This is my first time proposing, and I will lose confidence if I get turned down."
