Chapter 417: Eternal Vows
I felt like there was no need for any complex ceremony to bind us together when our hearts were already one. I was already more than thankful for the small family of three that I have built with the Prince, and getting married formally didn’t matter much to me.
"You look like you don’t want to marry me," Prince Leonard said, without hiding his disappointment.
"That’s not what I said," I quickly denied, before he would get the wrong idea. It wasn’t like I didn’t want to marry Prince Leonard, the idea of marriage just didn’t seem so significant to me anymore now that I was sure that I had the prince’s love and also baby Logan.
"Now that Logan has grown up somewhat, I feel like it is the right time for us to finally get married. The king, my father, also wants to grant you an official title as my wife and also as Logan’s mother," the prince explained patiently before he flashed me a hopeful smile.
If anything, it was probably his smile that convinced me to go along with whatever he had planned. I wasn’t against the idea of marriage, and if I ever wanted to get married then I wanted to marry Prince Leonard and no one else. In that respect, I couldn’t find a valid excuse to turn down his marriage proposal.
"I will marry you. I just think that this is a little sudden and quite unexpected. Sorry for not giving you my answer right away," I explained to prevent any possibility of a misunderstanding.
"Well, I’m very glad that that is settled. To me, you are already my wife, and on top of that, you are my fated mate. Even so, I still think that there is no harm in formalizing things, plus I’m looking forward to seeing you in a beautiful wedding dress on our wedding day," the prince said with a hint of excitement.
His feelings were quickly rubbing off on me and I felt excitement stir in my chest. “You’re making me feel so excited. I hope everything goes well...” I replied with a small giggle.
Prince Leonard nodded his head with a beautiful smile on his lips, and I wondered what he was seeing in his mind. However, that blissful expression was quite short-lived and soon it was replaced by a slight frown as if something was troubling him.
