Chapter 609 - 554: Memories Of a Cherished Past (2) (1/2)

FLASHBACK

The shimmering firmament was as breath-taking as ever, the moon hung high up in the sky, adding more beauty to the starry night sky. The couple was sitting on the only bench in the courtyard and enjoying this quiet and peaceful time. Lucy was lost in thought as she caressed the ring Arthur gifted to her earlier, it was the proof of their relationship and eternal keepsake. Though they didn't have a grand marriage or a celebration, they were now officially married.

Everything has been chaotic after what happened in the magic academy but now they can rest for some time in the Ma Clan.

”Do you like it?”

Arthur nervously asked, not sure if a normal ring is enough. Sure, there were many expensive rings in his storage but he chose this one due to its simplicity, he also added small carvings on it without changing too much of its original appearance.

”En! Very much!”

”I'm relieved, hahaha”

Seeing his laugh so heartily, Lucy couldn't help but a plant a kiss on his lips, to show her appreciation and affection. They were uninterrupted so they didn't hold back from doing such things, however, they didn't go far and nothing obscene was done as they wanted to keep appropriate tonight despite it being their wedding night, which, in many cases, is when the newlyweds sleep together.

”Arthur…”

She stared at him with an expression very different from her usual cold one. He could see a new shine in her eyes, one that portrayed her boundless happiness, which made him not regret his earlier actions. At first, he hesitated and didn't know if he should propose or not but it turned out to be well, fortunately.

”Hm?”

”Now that Saly is with us… how about we create a sect?”

He didn't give an immediate answer as he was thoroughly thinking about her proposition, which didn't seem that bad, in fact. They can't say in the Ma Clan forever so creating a sect would provide shelter to their daughter and expand their power, moreover, it'll be like a home for them… a new and fresh beginning.

”Yeah, let's.”

”Really?”

Lucy's eyes slightly shook as she didn't think he'll agree so fast. In response, he caressed her head and replied:

”Yes, I think a sect would suit us.”

”Then let us think of a name!”

Like a little girl, she sounded very excited, which melted his heart and made him chuckle.

”Any suggestions?”

She looked around, thinking about something before saying: ”We'll name it after things we like.”

”I like you so it should have Lucy in its name.”

”No no, I didn't mean people but things you like.”
