Chapter 247: Whirlwind Romance
"Mark me?! What do you mean? Are you referring to what they do in the Coupling Rite?!" Krisha exclaimed.
"Yes, that way we can communicate with each other any time and there would be no problem, I can even visit you in your dreams as well." Taro went on to explain, "You see, I inherited these abilities from His Majesty when he turned me. Is this something you would consider? Will you give me consent to marking you so that we can form a bond, Lady Krisha?" Taro asked with a serious face.
Krisha couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She scoffed and replied, "Do you even know what you’re asking of me? Marking me is equivalent to me becoming your wife! If you even think I’m the kind of person who would just allow you to mark me, only just to be your mistress, then you’ve completely lost your mind. I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m not willing to share my future husband with anyone. If this is your idea of making some sick joke, then you should stop because it’s not funny at all!"
"But I’m not joking, Krisha. I’m dead serious... I want to mark you so that no one will dare approach you while I’m gone..." Taro said fiercely with a frown.
Krisha’s face crumpled as she said, "Are you over Dani?!"
"I am..."
"That fast?"
"I admit I did like Lady Dani, but my feelings for her were not deep enough to consider it love. That doesn’t even matter anymore. What matters now is that I like you, Lady Krisha. Don’t you always say ’The early bird catches the worm’? I’m simply living by your words, and moving quickly to make you mine," Taro answered without a blink.
Krisha stood there, her mouth hung open in disbelief as she stared at Taro, who looked dead serious about his proposal. This was no prank - Taro never was the type to joke around, especially about matters such as this. It was usually Krisha who liked to tease and make fun of him.
