"He loves me..."
Standing still, she stared at the man's "tall and robust" silhouette, her eyes lost, her mind in chaos.
Gradually,
she understood.
She understood why this man disagreed with their marriage proposal.
Because in his heart, he truly considered her as someone who could "share life's tribulations" with him forever.
It was just that the assessment was imminent, life and death uncertain.
He feared that once the engagement was made, and he died in the arena, it would cast a shadow of "remarriage" and "husband-killing" over her pure life...
"So that's how it is."
The girl's crystal-like eyes began to mist up.
She understood everything.
This man, he loved her.
Otherwise, there was no explanation as to why, at this deadly moment, he would sacrifice himself for her.
Hadn't the romance novels and comics she read always written it like that?
