Chapter 307: Entrust
The ring’s design was simple, with engraved small diamonds at the center. And yet, its simplicity made it more beautiful in Arren’s eyes. He was aware that when Spade had prepared this ring, he thought of Arren’s preference the most.
The two then didn’t suppress their desires any longer and embraced each other. Their hearts on their chests beat on the same rhythm; it was both fast, but the happiness they radiated also affected their pheromones, which were now temporarily mixed.
It calmed Arren’s heart, and at the same time, it gave him all the more confidence for their future. This happiness... Arren would fight for it. No one could ever take it from them this time.
They didn’t stay in the Treasury for long. They also left the crown in that same position, and when he asked if they needed to bring it back to its original position, Spade only told him that once the key was inserted on the crown and it became whole once more, that always meant that a new owner had appeared.
The empire’s tradition was as such, and this was also the reason that the Duke was shocked when he saw the key, as he could recognize it. Unlike the ignorant Arren, Duke Evan was familiar with the Empire tradition.
Unlike most households, the royal family didn’t have the so-called heirloom engagement or wedding rings but this key instead.
Even the late emperor gave the same key to Liviera, and they did the same thing, but the difference was that it often happened at an engagement party.
In history, it seemed only Spade and Arren did this tradition inside the royal treasury.
With joy surrouding the two, they became much clingier than before they entered here. In Arren’s ring finger on his left hand was the sparkling ring. Somehow, he couldn’t help but trail on them as though confirming if it was still there.
And Spade would grasp his hand as they looked at each other before smiling. It was truly... so intimate and cute.
Arren dragged Spade into his father’s room. While it was fine for him if their engagement were not known to so many people, he still wanted to let his father know all the important events of his life.
