VF 082 A Ring and Our Anniversary

[Haaa]

I asked for a moment to excuse ourselves in the banquet and went outside as Sasha appears to be exhausted and it seems like I was right about it.

[Are you alright? Do you feel sick or unwell?] (Calis)

[No, I am feeling well. Its just that maybe I havent been to a banquet for quite a while and it easily tires me out now. Are you feeling well yourself, my dear?] (Sasha)

[Well, its been pretty draining, but it seems like I wont get tired. After all, I have you by my side.] (Calis)

[*giggles* Fufufu. I cant remember how long it has been since we went out together to attend such an event but I want you to know that I feel so happy right now. Still, Id prefer having more time being alone with you, but] (Sasha)

[How can I not possibly oblige to such a loving request from my wife? Still, we have our children to think about so just give me some time and Ill do my best in that regard.] (Calis)

[Ofcourse. Thats what I thought youd say.] (Sasha)

I can only laugh at myself with my wifes sudden jab of which she did the same. Our eyes wander to the moonlight thats been bathing us all this time and let the silence linger around. Though Ive been reincarnated to a world thats entirely different from where I was before, the moon at least remained the same. Though that alone can be said fortunate, having someone you love watch it by your side is such a wonderful experience that I dont have the words to properly describe.

[Sasha.] (Calis)

[Hm?] (Sasha)

[Having you as my wife, and having children that are as beautiful as you are, fills me with so much happiness and joy that I havent felt before in this life. I feel so fortunate receiving such blessings and I want to express these feelings to you and show how thankful am I.]

Leaving the moons majestic charm, I turn to Sasha and let my gaze succumb to her eyes.

[So Sasha, can you close your eyes and let me hold your hand?]

Sasha seems puzzled about my sudden request but thankfully, she complied. I gently held her soft and white delicate left hand before pulling out from my chest a dazzling white ring thats made with the same ore that I just found and putting it to her finger.

[You can open your eyes now.]

[Dear, what did you ]

Sasha, upon seeing the ring on her finger, cant help but show her surprise.

[Dear T-this is?] (Sasha)

[An anniversary gift. Im sorry for not being able to give you one since the day you became my wife.] (Calis)

Well, its not like Calis actually thought of his wedding with Sasha worth celebrating before but this time, theres no way Id let such detail slip out of my mind. I was actually having trouble finding the right opportunity to give it to her but its a good thing I was able to find some time for this banquet and a moment such as this arrived.

[Though to be honest, Ive been wanting to celebrate it earlier than now but, well, I actually feel quite embarrassed. Oh also, its not like Im giving this to you to replace the wedding ring that I lost but I also got myself one thatll be its match.]

The previous Calis didnt think much when he lost the ring but I think that losing the ring and feeling apathetic about it is in itself a problem so I want to fix it. Also, I personally believe that having a matching pair of rings would help in nurturing the feeling of belonging Sasha and I have as husband and wife.

[I wont force you if you dont like it but Will you please accept it for me?]

Then, finding myself still trapped in her beautiful eyes just realizing shes been awfully quiet all this while, Sasha started to cry.

[Is this real..? For my husband himself to give me a ring I dont know Dear For such bliss it just feels like a dream] (Sasha)

[If were indeed dreaming, then when we get back to reality, Id be happy to offer you another ring.] (Calis)

[Dear Theres something I want to ask but, would it be fine?] (Sasha)

[Just say the word, my dear.] (Calis)

[Would you allow me to put the ring for you by myself? You have it with you, yes?] (Sasha)

[Ofcourse.] (Calis)

I took the other ring from my breast pocket and gave it to Sasha. Since its a matching one, theres a little gimmick where a beautiful white petal will form if Sashas ring and mine are combined. Considering Sashas personality, shell probably notice it herself so theres no need for me to worry about having her put the ring in my hand.

[Well then, youd have to close your eyes too, dear.] (Sasha)

I closed my eyes as she held my left hand and felt the gentle sensation of the ring slipping into my finger followed by a sweet girls laughter.

[Thank you, my dear. I shall wear this ring everyday.] (Sasha)

[And I shall do the same. Sasha my beloved wife please continue to be by my side.] (Calis)

[I will] (Sasha)

And so on the royal castles balcony beneath the mystifying light of the moon above, I let myself yield in with my desire and move closer to Sasha and have her lips overlap with mine.

Being able to enjoy such moments with my wife, then perhaps I could say that this banquet is an enjoyable one. Thats what I think.
