Respawn

Chapter 82: The Vow

"Please accept our apologies," Bara stated. Bara is ready to take a step forward when the king gives her a hand signal to stay put. Bara kneels down once more and maintains her position. "What's going on?" Bara inquired via telepathy. I'm in the same boat as her. All I know is that this is already a good excuse for us to go and escape. "All we have to do now is get out of here as quickly as possible without appearing to be disrespectful to the king's visitor," I explained. In silence, the man next to me chuckles. What was the reason for his laughter? Is he already oblivious to the fact that the monarch is sitting right in front of him? He is the type of person who appears humble while also looking insulting. Right now, his actions don't matter. "Right now, using telepathy to communicate with someone in front of the king. What a brilliant concept, " the man next to me murmured. He has the ability to read our telepathy. Who exactly is this man? How did he discover we were using telepathy? He understands what we're talking about right now. I deactivated my telepathy. This will be disastrous if he informs the king that we are using telepathy in front of him. I'm hoping he'll just stay silent and ignore what he notices between Bara and me.

"You two are hilarious. You don't need to tell each other to go ahead; one can wait and the other will simply go so the other gets started. There is no need to be embarrassed because people come to this place because of the two of you." said the king. When I gaze into the king's eyes, I notice that he is smiling. He appears to be pleased. "I know you're probably wondering who these people kneeling in front of me are. They are my underlings. I'm surprised you didn't know who she was. Even if she is kneeling on the floor, I thought you would recognize her. I'm guessing it's merely a problem with your sight "Added the king. I'm not sure what the king is referring to. Right now, all I want to do is leave.

"Katsumi is the woman kneeling beside you. She's the lady you've been seeking for a long time," said the monarch. I had no idea there was a man on the hunt for me. I have no idea who he is and am unfamiliar with him in any way. I glance at him and reach out to touch his lending hand. He's quite attractive. His hands are smooth, he appears gentle, and his smile says it all. "I apologize for not noticing it was you. I'm looking for you all over the place. I'm delighted I found you already. It's been a long time since I've seen you, "he stated. " Katsumi, his name is Darius, and he will propose to you today," the king explained.

"Pardon me, but I believe you mistook me for someone else. I've never met someone like you in my life, and I've never seen anyone like you "I stated. I don't remember him, and I don't want him to think he knows who I am because he mistook me for someone else. I need to be truthful with him. I'm sure I haven't met him because he's from a different kingdom. I come to a halt on the floor and stand to face him. He is a tall man with a large frame. He appears to be a noble individual. He appears to be someone who will be respected wherever he goes. "I'm sorry to hear you've already forgotten about me. I'm sorry you didn't recognize me, but that's fine. I suppose I should introduce myself to you first, right?" he said.

I'm relieved to hear that he's willing to introduce himself rather than insisting that we've already met when I have no recollection of meeting him. Perhaps he is correct, or perhaps he is incorrect. I need to hear his side of the story about the first time he saw me. "Sure, go ahead and make an introduction. That's fine, and it's a very excellent and courteous suggestion. Thank you very much for that "I stated. He still has my hand in his. I have no need to be concerned because he is a really nice man who is also unexpectedly polite, but touching his hand feels very inappropriate. I'm not sure why I feel like I'm cheating on Takahashi. I shouldn't be feeling this way because we aren't even dating. We're just complete strangers.

"It all began many years ago. We've met before, and you're still not a higher-ranking knight. You were only a child at the time. We used to be playmates, and you had no idea I was a millionaire. Do you recall how we used to play when we were kids? We used to pretend that you were the bride and I was the groom when we played wedding games, "he stated. I begin to recall what he is referring to. I'm sure I recognize him. I didn't realize it was him, and those recollections are already buried deep within my mind. I'm not sure how I forgot about him. We make a commitment to each other that we will not forget about each other. I feel sorry for forgetting about him. He used to be such a sweet kid, and I can't believe he's now an adult.

"I recall how I had just left that location because I was on vacation at the time. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye properly, and we don't know each other's complete names. All we know about each other is our nicknames. I've been thinking of you since the day I left. You are constantly in my mind, and I am looking for you in my hologram. I've already turned into a teenager, yet I'm still yearning for you. I'm rather certain you're on the lookout for me as well. One day, I overheard a report about a kingdom's victory. This kingdom is the one I'm referring to, and I happened to notice you in the news. I told myself that there was no doubt in my mind that it was you. I am incredibly proud of you, "he said.

"I couldn't believe how much you've grown up while watching the news. I remember how strong a girl you were when we were kids, and I'm glad you're following your dreams and living a happy life, even though you're far away from me. You have no clue how much I pray you don't fall in love with someone else while I'm away "he stated I'm in a bad and terrible mood. I'm sorry I forgot about him and broke my pledge to him. I apologize for the inconvenience. I feel bad that this man spends his entire life thinking about me, but I don't even think about him and am utterly unaware that he exists. I apologize if I've become a bad friend to you, Darius. I'm hoping you'll forgive me for what I did.

Please accept my apologies if I fall in love with someone else while you are away. When you're gone, I never fall in love. It's simply that I met a really surprising man who made me fall in love with him suddenly. "I finally have an idea where I can find you the moment that I watch the news about you bringing triumph to this kingdom. Since I am now a prince, I must complete my duties in my land. I had to finish all of my work there in order to come here, which is why it took me so long. I'm delighted I'm in front of you right now. Please don't be afraid of me because I'm still the Darius you knew from our childhood. My look is the only thing that has changed, but my feelings for you have not "he stated

He asked, "Do you remember me now, Katsumi?" I gaze at him as he takes my hand in his and places it on his cheeks. "Yes, I recall you now. I apologize for forgetting about you, Darius. I had no idea you had been seeking me the whole time. If I had known, I would have paid a visit to your country. Even if I committed a lot of blunders in front of you, I hope we can still be friends "I stated. He just pats my head and laughs at me. "You are not required to apologize. You've already been pardoned because you've finally remembered who I am. I'm simply inquisitive and need to know something right now. Are you in a romance with someone you know? ", he inquired. How am I going to answer that when the king and Bara are here?

I've learned to lie to the important people in my life since I had a feeling for Takahashi. That man pushes me to do things I'm not supposed to do. If I commit another offense against you, Darius, please accept my sincere apologies. "Right now, I'm not interested in anyone and have no plans to be. I still intend to devote my efforts to serve this country "I stated. I don't want other people to know I'm interested in someone since they'll assume it's Takahashi right away. This is also necessary for Takahashi's safety. Why am I concerned about his safety right now, while I am the one who is in trouble? As usual, I am a moron. "By the way, I didn't come here to be your friend." he said.

"What exactly do you mean?" I inquired. He summoned up a small box in his hands. It appears to be a high-priced box containing a high-priced item. "Do you recall our childhood pledge to each other? We frequently discuss our future plans. We made a lot of vows to each other, and everything I promised you at that time is pure and genuine. We make a vow to each other that when we're older, we'll marry and have a family together. I apologize for taking so long to arrive, but I am finally here "he stated. He opened the box, and inside was a ring. I'm speechless and have no idea what to say right now. "Will you marry me, Katsumi?" he inquired.
