I didn't expect that she would make a request of me like that. She is still young, so I have no interest in marrying her.
However, her father said clearly that it was a dream one day. So no one can guarantee whether Clarise will still hold on to her feelings for me. Only time will tell.
All I can do is cheer the girl on, be strong, and be the pride of both parents. The path that Clarise will take to become an adventurer is not easy; there will be many steep obstacles she will meet along the way of her life.
"Married to me?" I asked, surprised.
"Yes. Once she made a promise, she would never break it," explained the father. I fully believed in the man's words.
I bent my legs and crouched in front of Clarise with a big smile on her face.
"Do your best according to your wishes," I said, Clarise looking excited as she gripped my right hand with both hands.
"I will do it. Wait until I grow up, Sir Arthur," Clarise answered.
