228 Only Her, Only Him (1/2)

---

The King's luck was just too awesome.

The five treasures that he took out from his long adventure outside were destined to change the living conditions of the Kingdom.

Keeping then entire inheritance of the Golden Sun Era with them, Alexander along with Raven and the Golden Knights had a brief meeting with themselves to figure out the future developments for the kingdom.

The Worker Constructs were entrusted to Old Lee as he found this discovery too interesting, of course Raven had his inputs with this as well.

The Golden Crops Array was entrusted to Leona and her Red Knights Brigade, they'll be the one's overseeing and helping with the constructions of this Array.

The King called for Jackson since they will be a crucial part of erecting the Skynet Array when it's ready. He also summoned the Head Commander of both the Martial Department and Intelligence Department of the army for this, of course Raven could freely express his opinions about the project as well.

As for how they're going to use the entirety of the Golden Sun Era's inheritance, Alexander gave this project to Raven. Giving him full authority and responsibility over the whole project, even.

The King placed his wholehearted trust to Raven at this point. He knew that Raven have the ability to usher the Golden Age of the Kingdom so long as he was given the chance to. Of course, Raven also wanted to prove himself capable to the King. In light of this, he will make sure to place a lot of thought on this project.

As for the Fleece of the Sun God? The King threw it to Raven, saying that he has no need for it. Alexander busied himself after that with the help of Balmung, who initially thought that he could relax from the responsibilities since the King came back but obviously couldn't.

Well, the fleece was a nice treasure to have, sadly Raven has no use for it so he intended to keep it from now. Before he excused himself, Raven asked for permission if he could see Luna. The King threw him a knowing look and said:

”No funny business until you two are old enough. Understand?”

Raven sweated and vigorously nodded. He then went out of the King's office and sighed. He then walked towards Luna's room to spend some time with her. It's been a week since he last saw her, of course Raven missed her.

Upon entering Luna's chambers, he frowned since he didn't see her there. He looked around and saw her sitting on the balcony while mindlessly staring at the skies, seemingly unaware of his intrusion.

Raven's heart felt a jolt upon seeing her.

She's just too beautiful in his eyes. In his past life, he only had eyes on her and no one else. In the Divine Realm, he had come across with many kingdom-toppling beauties, women who were dubbed as fairies even in the Divine Realm, but he never looked at them the way he did with Luna. Upon her death back then, his heart died with her.

Even now in his second life, he only and will only have eyes on her. No one else.

A loving smile appeared on his lips. He sneakily approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, startling her in the process.

”A-Avi!” Luna called out, even without her turning around, the warmth of his embrace was something that she could never be mistaken about.

A blush appeared on her cheeks, her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She was weak with his touch, specially when she could feel his sturdy body behind her, wrapping her tight with a loving hug.

”W-what are you doing here? Did you close the door? Father might see us!”

”Hmm?” Raven hummed while burying his face on her neck, inhaling her lovely scent that captivated him so much. ”Are you shy?”

”N-no! No! It's just that…” Luna couldn't finish her words.

What she meant to say was: 'I don't want Father to see me melting on your embrace! He might think that I'm way too head over heels for you! Hmph!'

Luna felt Raven chuckle behind her, he then heard him say: ”Uncle and I had the talk. He knows that I love you so he gave me his blessings.”

'Oh, dear god! H-how can he say those words so shamelessly!? His hug alone can make me panic and now I also have to deal with his straightforwardness? How do I face this?'
