I froze in shock.
Such a beauty hugged me?
Me, someone who couldn't even touch a girl's hand previously!
I felt a imaginary system voice appear
Achievements?
I wonder if I get some rewards for getting one.
But throwing that aside, The hell is this "Fated Lover?"
I thought to myself
"I, a Peerless Prodigy bound to achieve anything I wish, was naturally born to be a lone wolf. Someone who wasn't held back because he had to protect anyone, someone who was unrestrained!"
But than I looked at the shy female beauty in my arms.
Feeling my fast beating heart I subconsciously thought
"She's strong, so I don't have to protect her, right? So maybe she's an exception."
I made up this excuse instead of openly admitting my desires.
I spoke
"What's wrong, princess?"
She replied in a scared voice
"My veil is kept on in the presence of the Elder, without him present it becomes transparent and can be seen through.Please help me leave without anyone seeing my face."
I felt bad.
She was so worried yet I was having such thoughts
I hugged her tightly before speeding out of the restraunt in a flash.
She directed me and I came to a large menacing eagle.
From what I could tell, It was a tier 5 beast or a Soul Formation Cultivator.
Terrifying!
A mount was stronger than he was, this just hurt his pride.
I released my grip on the princess who distanced herself from me shyly
The Elder looked over at this moment.
And upon seeing how we were acting he guessed what happened and quickly appeared next to Wu Shaung
"Little Wu, I'm so sorry for my negligence. I was too excited I forgot about your viel."
He spoke in a serious tone
"Who saw you?"
The princess didn't say anything and just pointed at me.
I felt betrayed, I helped her and she threw me under the bus instantly?
I looked to the Elder and saw his eyes slowly become happy.
"Fumetsu, You are a lucky boy to have seen the Princess. You have to take responsibility for what you have done don't you?"
I felt confused
Why wasn't he following the script?
Shouldn't he beat me up and apologize by giving me a super treasure?
I felt disappointed
"What responsibility do you mean Elder?"
The Elder smiled
"Of course I'm talking about becoming each others companion."
"Companion?"
The Elder shook his head
"Husband and wife."
It felt like lightning just hit me
"Umm, but shouldn't I get to know the Princess first before that?"
The elder pondered
"The Star Emperor specially told us to hide her from the world until a Prodigy worthy of her appears. You happen to be said Prodigy and have already seen her, therefore I as her grand-uncle decide to betrothe you two. Do you have any objections, Wu Shuang and Fumetsu Noishi?"
Too fast!
The progress of this relationship was too fast!
One second we were strangers and the next we are married?
But my inner conscious told me to shut up and accept it.
"I have no objections"
I heard a voice escape the Wu Shaung's mouth.
It gave me butterflies in my stomach as I smiled at her and she turned away, blushing.
"I have no objections either."
The elder kaughed happily
"Good, good the offical ceremony will take place later. It will be decided and attended by the Star Emperor himself."
