Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 59 The Happiest Girl

Keith stopped his footsteps. He's looking at me.

"I should have said it, Diana. And this is not the right time to propose to me."

"It's a good time, Keith. We're pounding each other right now." One of my hands pressed against his chest that was pounding like my heart.

Keith's face flushed. He's cleared his throat. "I'll propose to you full of surprises when the time comes. You rest today."

I'm nodding. Keith continued his journey again. 

"I haven't heard your answer" I said.

"Without me answering you already know my answer, Diana."

I chuckle softly. I can't wait for our wedding.

***

"So Diana's sister proposed to you first?" ask Iris.

Keith and I nodded at the same time. We enjoyed this peaceful day at the Skyrise residence. A day has passed since Derek's death. Life in the kingdom is safe. The former battlements in the palace area were repaired by the palace witches. Eric was getting busier than he was before the war yesterday. I think this busyness only lasts for a little while. The greatest threat to the government is gone.

Iris looked at Keith sharply. "Bad."

"You know how else it's been. We better talk about something else." Keith switched the conversation. He feels defeated by me. 

"Sorry, I can't go. I have to go to the palace today," Iris said as she stood up.

"Why is Eric hurt?" my many.

Keith gave a jealous look at me. He covered it with a sip of his tea.

"I think I'll be punished. I kissed the King yesterday," Iris said as she scratched her temple and smiled forcefully.

Terngaga mouth. Keith chokes. My ears did not hear wrong. Iris was not kidding either. Hand trembling. He was afraid to be punished.

"Why did you kiss the King?" Keith's voice was slightly raised.

"You know how else. At that time it was precarious. The king made a protector to ward off Derek's attack on me. He was badly injured and his hands were busy. He was trying to protect me, if the King wasn't healed then we would both die. The only way to drink the potion is from my mouth." Iris' ears are red. Looks like he had to do that.

Keith riled. His fingers kept knocking on the table. His long breath sounded loud. Doing presumptuous acts such as kissing the King without his purpose will be imprisoned. Keith didn't want that to happen to his brother. 

But Eric is not that kind of person. Even when Iris snapped and kicked him out of the Skyrise residence, Eric did not punish her. I'm sure Iris will be fine. There is no harm in offering help.

"Do I need company?" my many.

"True King wouldn't dare punish you if there was Diana, Iris." Keith nodded.

Iris shook her head. "It's my fault. So Diana didn't have to endure it. I'm almost late. I'll take care of you."

Keith tried to stop Iris but his sister had already moved away from us quickly. Keith looked at me with concern. "Iris wouldn't do anything, would she?"

"Just calm down, Keith. Eric won't punish her."

"May be right Diana."

POV Iris

I came to the palace again today. This time not to treat the King but because of the result of my sassness. I don't know how many times I've been rude to the King. I think this time it's really inexcusable.

I knocked on the door of the King's office. He sat down to work on his documents. The room was back in chaos like before. When I was about to clean up the pile of papers on the floor he reprimanded me.

"Sit down first."

I obeyed him directly. My heart is getting nervous. The king walked towards me. We sat facing each other. He looked at me sharply. I made my heart accept all the punishment. My head was down, unable to look into his eyes.

"Your banquet is very potent. Do you want to work in the palace?"

I looked up and my smile grew. "I want to, Your Majesty. When can I start working? Do you hire someone else? Are you starting to trust others again?"

The king frowned disturbed at my questions especially at the last question. 

"You can work from tomorrow." 

He did not answer my second and final question. Doesn't matter. Most importantly, I got a great job. Moreover, I am the only magician of the palace potion now.

Sister and Sister Diana would definitely be happy to hear this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I got up to the door. Before leaving do not forget to clean up the mess in the King's office. This is the reward I gave for hiring me.

Keith POV

I can't calm down. How am I supposed to calm down if my sister makes a tantrum? Especially with the King. Diana had calmed me down but still bad thoughts continued to haunt me.

What if the King hurt Iris because I took Diana? If Iris is in jail I'll take her out and run to another country with Diana. I would do anything for my sister.

The sound of footsteps sounded. I immediately approached the voice. Apparently Iris. He smiled at me. Then he ran to hug me.

I took off Iris's embrace to look at her face. "really? You're not covering up, are you?" 

"That's a doubt there's nothing I'm covering up. The king was amazed at the potion I made."

I let out a sigh of relief. All my prejudices are gone. This way Iris wasn't too lonely once I left. 

"Good, there's something I want to talk to you about, Iris."

"About what?"

"Follow it out."

I brought Iris into my study. My hands are stroking the desk that became my friend almost every day. I looked towards Iris.

"This place will one day be yours Iris."

Iris's eyes widened. He realized the meaning of my words. She will be the head of the family after I marry Diana. I don't want Diana to take off her family's head title. It's true that I'd like to hear the name Diana Skyrise but Keith Moonlight is better. 

On the other hand with Iris being the Head of the Family, she would become more mature. His overly outspoken attitude and great curiosity, I hope he can reduce it. I can't wait for Iris's increasingly famous name.

"Are you sure?" ask Iris.

"I'm sure, Iris." I'm nodding.

"When I hope, Sister and Sister Diana can stay here." Iris lowered her head looking glum.

I approached him while patting him on the shoulder. "We will visit you often. We won't forget you." 

"Don't the reason you really don't want to be disturbed when you're alone with Sister Diana isn't it?" Iris squinted her eyes.

I can't seem to hide anything from my sister. I grimaced at him without answering him.

POV Diana's

My eyes opened slowly as a result of the sound of knocking. I rubbed my eyes while yawning.

Who comes in these nights?

I saw a familiar figure on the balcony. I smiled as I opened the balcony door. 

"What's the matter with you coming here Keith?"

"I give you the good news" Keith said excitedly.

"What good news?"

"Iris will be the witch of the palace potion."

"really? I have to congratulate him." My voice sounded cheerful. I am happy for my two friends. Eric began to open up to others other than me while Iris's prowess made the potion acknowledged.

"When do you want to congratulate her, Diana?"

"Eitherway? Tomorrow?"

"What if it's just today?"

"Isn't Iris asleep?"

Keith is suspicious. It's been too late giving congratulations. 

"He was still awake because he was too happy. You can congratulate him now."

I narrowed my eyes to find out why Keith was like this. It seems like he misses me but doesn't admit to looking for an excuse. But there's no harm either, I miss him too.

"All right now." I reached out to Keith to teleport.

However, my body lifted up and got closer to the sky. Keith held me in his arms while smiling. My hands are around his neck. I took a long breath. He was really looking for an excuse.

I spread my eyes around. I've long missed the night view. Without me knowing the lips kept on expanding.

"We haven't flown at night in a long time, Diana." Keith kept looking ahead. He thought the same thing about me.

"True, you rarely go to my house at night in the present life."

"Because I don't have to hide anymore to take you away. No one's banning you."

I peeked at her cheek. He flew forward without looking at me. He's already immune to kisses on the cheek apparently.

Suddenly the night sky changed. Fireworks dotted around me. The blinding light kept flying around us. Stopped on my ring finger. The light turned into a ring embedded in my finger. Keith stopped and looked at me.

"Will you marry me, Diana?"

I don't know what my face looks like this time. I'm obviously very happy. This was a surprise I hadn't expected before.

"Of course I want to, Keith."

Keith smiled at me. Our faces are getting closer. I could feel his breath on my lips. My story will not end here. There's still so much happiness and trouble I haven't been through with Keith. I can't wait to live it. My life as a disabled girl has ended up being replaced as the happiest girl in the world.
