After a while, Zain returned to Lukrov and Chizuru, pulling his sister by the hand.
The little girl had just turned two years old, and her usual smooth, dark hair that reached below her shoulders was rumpled, and her eyes were brimming with dissatisfaction.
Fa~ther!!!!
The little girl reached out her hand towards her father.
Without a monts hesitation, Lukrov picked up his little girl and pulled her to his chest, and touched her cheek with a gentle gesture that would make even Chizuru jealous.
Whats the matter, you grumpy little girl?
I couldnt find anything at all Zain found lots and looooots of things.
It seed that she was angry because she didnt find any nuts or berries.
The daughter, who grumbled with her face buried in Lukrovs chest, was cute despite her young age. It was also expected that she would entice all the n in the country to propose to her when the ti ca. Of course, as a parent, this made him uneasy. She looked exactly like Chizuru, albeit being loud and a bit stubborn.
Its okay. Ill find so for you.
As Lukrov soothed his daughter, Zain replied,
too! Ill find you so myself!
Looking back, Lukrov and Chizuru had co a long way.
Naturally, there were painful monts along the way, and there were even instances when they wanted to give up. But at the sa ti, there was so much happiness that the pain was overshadowed.
Mai.
Chizuru called out to her daughter in a calm voice.
We can co back together tomorrow. Now, we have to go ho before dark. Ill tell you a story before you go to bed.
Mai looked up, her full smile already shining on her face.
A story about you and father?
Yeah, if thats what you want to hear.
Yes! Tell
the story about how you and Father defeated the bad dragon!
Both Lukrov and Chizuru smiled at their daughters innocent wish, cherishing the happiness that was right here in their hands and hearts.
The sun was slowly sinking beyond the horizon, and a fragrant spring breeze blew, rustling the grass.
On the way ho, Lukrov held a sleepy Mai on his shoulder and held Chizurus hand with his other hand.
Zain ran far ahead of his parents, occasionally turning around and waving at them.
Looking down at Chizuru, Lukrov said quietly, When I am with you, Chizuru, I feel so happy that sotis I believe this is a dream.
He squeezed Chizurus hand tightly as she raised her head and looked up at him.
The knights fearless face, shadowed by the setting sun, displayed the affection he had promised to give her in the past: I shall cherish you more than any woman in this world has ever been loved.
too, Lukrov. Im so happy that sotis, I feel like Im dreaming.
Lukrov seed to be satisfied with Chizurus answer. He pulled Mai back into his arms, lifted Chizurus hand to his lips, and kissed her fingertips gently.
Then I will continue to dream with you.
