POV LOUIS KATELYN
Flashbacks
One day I was getting ready to go before the King's Majesty. At that time I was 20 years old. My father had been dead for 2 years, and at that time I was sent by the King to continue my father's duties.
Inevitably, it has become my duty and responsibility and duty as a family trusted by the King. At that time King Elrand was still in power, my father was very obedient to King Elrand's orders and I had to.
After he got there, his Majesty the King appointed me to be a knight of the sword but not by leading the territory.
The one leading the territory was Viscount Baul Chester, back then I was very surprised why the King did not give my father's duties to me completely but gave his half to someone else.
However it was not too much that I thought, I realized that I was still very young to lead the territory than Viscount Baul Chester who seemed to be very skilled in leading the territory.
When I finished in Lantik, I decided to go home because I did not want to linger there too long. But the King called me to meet the Empress, and I immediately met the empress.
Arriving there the empress greeted me and there was a woman beside her.
"I'm Louis Katelyn facing her noble consort" I said, bowing slightly.
"How are you doing, Louis knight?" ask the empress
I straightened my body "I am good, as you can see my majesty" I replied.
"I have a duty for you" said the queen.
The confused me asked "what is this noble duty?".
The Empress smiled "I will assign you to help and train the sword to the soldiers in the land of winter, as well as to be a liaison of peace between our country and the land of winter" replied the empress.
"Are you ready?" connect empress.
I immediately replied "Oh, your majesty."
"And this is also my witch Christia Amber, who is from the land of winter" the empress pointed to the woman.
I just stared at her for a while then looked back at the empress "She will be your partner during the Winter Country" the empress continued.
I was a little surprised by that but I didn't think this woman could be relied upon.
During my time in the winter country, Christia was very helpful in many ways.
Like helping me teach a sword to a new warrior, I also helped him to teach the school children there.
Little by little Christia gave her attention to me, but I was not aware of it.
"Louis can you rest? you were standing there all the time, what were you thinking?" ask Christia.
I just flipped over, walked over and sat next to her, always I was cold to her.
His attention made me melt little by little.
"Where are you going?" ask Christia
"Go away" I replied
"Louis you're not eating?" ask Christia while bringing food.
"Have" answered me.
But one day I couldn't hold back my feelings. One day I was sitting pensively in the garden chair, suddenly he came with a worried face.
"Louis here is cold, why are you wearing such a thin shirt" Christia said and wrapped me in a thick cloth.
"Hey why are you paying attention to me so much" I asked as she looked at her eyes and nose that were flushed from the cold.
"I'm just worried about you, sorry if you don't like my attitude" she said, rubbing her cold hands.
I looked up at the sky and it felt like my face and heart were about to explode while hugging her.
"Your heart is beating so fast Louis" said Christia nervously.
I just shut up and put my arms on her.
Since then I have been in a relationship with Christia for about 1 year, one night Christia and I went for a walk because in the city center there was an annual event.
There Christia bought a magic stone that she nicknamed the winter stone, she was quite happy with just buying it.
"You look happy to buy that, what is that?" ask me.
"It's a winter magic stone, I'll use it to help the people I care about" she replied, smiling at me.
I can't deny her smile is very beautiful, it's possible that the ice that sees her smile can melt into water even to the point of becoming steam because her smile is so warm.
"Where are you going now?" ask me because since we've been around the same playground.
"I'm confused as to which game to play" said Christia confused.
"Alright, how about this game first" I replied pointing to the game of throwing rubber into the upright wood.
Then as a winning prize he will get a fairly large doll.
Of course on condition not to use magic that is mastered.
Christia played it, one by one rubber came into the wood. I didn't think Christia was very good at this.
"Yeyy won" she said happily, smiling sweetly at me.
"i'll admit you're pretty good" Praise me and rub her hair slowly.
"I'm great, even better than you" he said proudly as he mocked at me.
I was quite upset to hear his words.
"Well let's race, who wins more matches. The loser will fulfill all the requests the winner wants." I said with a defiant smile at him.
"Let's who's afraid..!!" answer her while puffing her cheeks.
Christia and I played all sorts of games and all of them were won by Christia.
"hahaha I won.yeyy I won. In accordance with the conditions earlier, the loser will fulfill all the requests desired by the winner" he said while laughing mocking me.
"Yes, what's the request you want, right?" ask me with a lethargic face.
She looked at me holding her chin "I don't want much, marry me" she replied with a sweet smile.
I was surprised by her request "You want to marry me?" ask me while holding her hand.
"Hemm" he said, nodding.
Strange is this a regional tradition? The woman who proposed to the man??
I turned my face away from the powerlessness with my face already blushing "U-for now.it looks like I--"
Suddenly, her hands clasped around my neck and Christia kissed me right on my lips. For a moment I was surprised by what he did. But when I saw his beautiful eyes, I was immersed in his game.
He let go of the kiss and said, "I'll wait for you until you're ready to marry me, if you ask me if I'm ready, of course I'm always ready for you" christia smiled and left me.
I was silent, my heart was still pounding.
"Geez what he's doing.I'll propose to you right away" I said with my head down and covered my blushing face.
