Snippet 6

The time has come for Conrad to have his own very snippet and I can't believe that it took me this long to construct and finish it.

But nevertheless I hoped that you my Readers enjoyed the story of our "Owl".

Without further ado, the story.

(MC's POV)

Your breath is shaky and the air is heavy on your lungs, the moon light's peering through the castle's windows. You're in the Mage's Division and on a quest of your own that you hoped to accomplish before this day ends.

Walking towards your destination, steps filled with worry and uncertainty. Rubbing your hands together filling the chilling night on your skin and teeth clattering due to the cold. Frankly, it's not really cold maybe it's just the trick of your mind but still you can't remove this dread on your mind.

The diffuculty of this quest out rivals the basilisk, mad wizards and other sorts of evil that is plaguing the land. No! this is the most terrifying so far, you can say that you're looking into the jaws of death and threathing to swallow you whole if you don't tread carefully.

Continuing forward, your hand slides down to your pocket seeking comfort on one particular object. Finally your skin came in contact with something rectangular and furry. Fishing out the box, you stopped on a window where the moon's light can illuminate it's contents.

You gently pushed the lid open and the diamond glint under the light. "May the Gods help me for the trials that is to come!" you murmur.

Setting your attention back to the ring, you have no idea to which Conrad's liking when it comes to this types of things. Come to think of it, you still have no idea his likes and dislikes. Everytime you ask him over dinner he just shrugs and looked at you with those impassive eyes. "What I like don't matters, what matters is yours." he says gently but there is no emotion in his tone.

Is it Love? or Is his ways of showing that he cares for you? Nevertheless, he assures you that he is happy with your company and shows it by showering you by food and gifts. Some of the gifts that you received cost very expensive and you still don't know where got the funds.

But you don't pry any futher because you know the reply that you get from him. "My love for you has no bounds!" you remember his voice crack and for a moment you saw a man vulnerable but only a moment.

Closing the box and pocketing it once more and continue walking, you will know his answers and saints be damned if you will not receive it not. Other will say that your too imposing in regards to this matter perhaps so but to you this will serve as your guarantee that Conrad which to live a life with you.

The two of you been dating for a very long time now and till now you don't know where the both of you stand, you can't read Conrad due he holds his cards deep to his chest. With every step you take, new thoughts will enter your mind. "Will he say yes? "Does he really loves you or is this all just a façade?" "You still don't know a single thing about him, is there really a connection between the two of you?

And another and another until your mind is heavy with questions pilling one over another. You tried to answer every question in your mind but alas with every question you answer 2 will take it's place. So deep in your thoughts you have to do a double take becasue you just missed your destination.

Crushing and digging the questions that plagues you right now into the deepest corner of your mind, these is no time to be distracted right now and you can't afford to make any mistakes.

Both of your future hangs on the balance and this will be the deciding factor, you have heard many times that love is the foundation of any relationship. You agree with this notion but then again what good is a foundation if it's not reinforced or cemented. And this the solution that you have think of to your problem.

Appoarching the door bedgrudgingly, you slowly reached for the knob. Having second thoughts if you shoud go down on this paths but the die is cast and sooner or later you will have to asked for Conrad's hand. So no time like the present is what they say.

Pulling the door open and immediately spotting a annoyed figure sitting on a chair. "Oh it's you!" Conrad looked at you shrewd, maybe guessing what are you still doing up at this time of hour.

Closing the door and gulping, there's no turning back now you have reached the point of no return. Steeling youself and approached closer towards your future husband. "Is this business or pleasure?" he eyes you closely and trying to read your intentions.

Why is it so damn hard? Such say it and be done with it. Surely you will not die right? Then why can't you form the words? You feel your mouth moving but no sound is coming out. "Look MC, I know you have tried weird ideas in regards to progressing our relationship but I suggest you cut to the chase!" his eyes narrow and you know that the longer you prolong this, the less chance you will have to confess.

"Look Conrad, I have something important to tell to you." you sigh and hands shaking.

"I can see that but I think you can speak while I'm working!" he begins to return his work.

"Please, it's urgent!" you blurt out and moving a little closer towards him.

(Conrad's POV)

You dropped down your instruments and looked at MC, you can see that their eyes plead you to listen and give your attention to them. Hearing MC says it's urgent or it's an emergency is not foreign to you. Being the King's agents has it's hazards and injuries is always certain to come.

But this time is different, the way MC pleads you is different. It sounds like desperation and fear, this is the first time you heard them like this. Honestly, you're distraught to what news will MC deliver to you but you masked it under your stoic eyes and face. It's not rationale for emotions to take over logic and you will not repeat that mistake ever again.

"Very well, you have my full attention!" you sit straight. "Please have a set." you gesture at the chair.

"No, it's better I do this kneeling down!" they got on one knee.

Your brain shut down for a moment, as if the world freeze for a moment. You know where this is going, MC is gonna propose to you but why it came as a surpirse to you. Surely, you knew that this ritual will arrive is just a question of when?

"Conrad, we have been dating for a while now and I can say pretty much that our relationship is very deep and profound!" they pause and gathering their breath.

"But I feel like I want us to be more than that, I want us to be more than a couple!" they looked to you intently and you feel their gaze is peering to the very deep of your being.

"I want us to start our own family, this life is small and fleeting and I want that before I die I have at least confess and proposed to you."

"So will you marry me?" they await your answer with holded breath but instead of giving a answer, you return a their question with your own.

"Why me?" you asked that question to MC but more like to yourself, your mind is on automatic now and is not functioning properly.

"Because I love you Conrad!" they shout resolutely.

"No, I mean is that." you paused and searching for the right words, your thin ice now and you must delicate, a skill that you found to be lacking.

"Besides love, Why me?" you repeat and await their answer.

(MC's POV)

Conrad watching and seating straight, waiting you to give him a reason why of all people you chose to propose to him. Is love not good reason enough? But you know Conrad too much, he is still trying to see the logic and sense in all of this. "Truthfully, I found you to be interesting when we first met!" you stop and looking for any reaction from him, as expected you found none.

"And everytime you dismissed or shun me out, I took it as a challenged and up till now everytime I look behind the past I can't help but chuckle. Thinking how I managed to capture your heart, when you turned many so down!" you look at the window behind Conrad and seeing the moon.

"But the past is behind me, I'm here in the present and I want to secure a future with you by my side!" you smile and felt a tear dropping.

Conrad stood up and approached you, looking you down and still wearing his stoic mask. Then what he did next surpirsed you, he hugged you closed and tightly. "Yes, My asnwer is yes!" he whispers behind you but to you is a shout of victory.

The two of you stayed like that for sometime and Conrad break off the hug, he helped you up to your feet and you noticed just now how your knee is sore for staying in that position for a long time. "I apologize for ruining the moment." his voice is low like a whisper.

Your hand goes to your pocket and fetch the box which holds both of your future. "It's alright and I have an idea how you make it up to me!" you offer the ring to him and Conrad offer his hand to you.

(Conrad's POV)

Metal sliding on your finger, this feels like alien granted you have wear rings in your past time but this one is different it feels heavy with promises and responsibilities. But your happy to feel the weight of it's metal and the cool of iron on your skin. "C'mon let's have some dinner!" you snapped your hands and decided to close up shop.

"Where? restaurants and shops are closed at this time of hour!" they state the obvious.

You walked towards your cupboard and procure the necessary ingredients for your dinner. "That's why we will be having it here." you grinned and tilting your head playfully.

This is not like at you at all and a feeling that your great for, you feel free and light as a feather. I's been a long time since you feel this open and bare and feeling you want to continue when your day marriage will arrived. "A cook, your full of surprises!" MC walked nearer to you and pulling you close.

"Control yourself MC!" you chastise MC for their hands is starting to roam in uninvited places.

"Why have dinner when we can devour dessert!" they give you peck on the lips.

"I don't want to upset your stomach!" you say in a sultry voice.

"But I can agree to the appetizer!" you pull MC very close and deliver a fiery kiss.

The night is spent cooking dinner and having plans for the future. Such as; Where the wedding be held and what day? What kind of house will be built and what type? How many children the two of you will have? But the two of you decided that questions can wait and that it's the time for dessert.

Both of you take time and turn tasting but what? Well, let's leave that to your imagination reader ;) But I can say that the delicacies were Sweet, Delicious and above all Passionate.
