TL: Before we even start….KYAAAAA!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for this chapter!!!

—--

As the crowd began to thin out, we were finally able to take a break.

Leon and I decided to visit a particular place.

It was called the Bell Plaza. This bell square is located on the top floor of the school building, and the bell is usually used to signal the beginning and end of the school day.

But on the school festival day, it becomes a special place.

The bell is also famous for being the "Bell of Vows".

It is said that if two lovers make a vow under the bell, they will always be together and live happily ever after.

Today, I'm going to make a vow to Leon here.

I've tried to confess my love to him many times, but he's always said it was too early, but today I've decided to make a serious vow.

No one else was around.

So, I decided to skip the small talk and go straight to the point.

I led Leon beneath the bell and held his hands. Staring into Leon's eyes, I released a deep breath.

"Under the Bell of Vows, I solemnly make this vow. Leon, I want to walk beside you. I promise never to leave you this time. I ask you to take me as your Bride."

Leon's eyes widened. Will he brush me off again and say, "It's too early to say such a thing"?

But then Leon grabbed my hand in his and began to speak.

"Rio, I was going to wait until you were older. I thought that if you still felt the same way when you grew up, then I would welcome you as my Bride of God......."

Leon trailed off at that point. I gulped and cleared my throat. I was afraid to hear what he would say next.

"But I can't wait any longer. When you were announced to be engaged to the Crown Prince kid at the royal ball the other day, I was jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Yes. I was surprised myself. I was surprised that such feelings existed in me, a god. I thought of taking you away to the divine realm to keep you to myself."

I can't believe that Leon, a god, has such feelings.......

Leon dropped on one knee and planted a kiss on the back of my hand, looking firmly into my eyes.

"Katariona Yurie Grandeur. I beg of you, will you be ...... my wife, the bride of the God of this Forest?"

Alas! How I had longed for those words! I had long known what my answer would be.

"Yes! Leon, God of the Forest, I will be your bride."

I hugged Leon.

And then, "Boom!" I heard the sound of something exploding.

"Congratulations!"

This voice is .......

"Flare-sama!"

"You!? How long have you been there?"

Flare-sama, the goddess of light, descended from the bell. In her hand, she held a firecracker. The thing that burst was a firecracker.

"I am also the goddess of love! I have been here over the bells because I heard that every year on this day, lovers make their vows!"

You mean you've been listening to us since the beginning?

"Since when did you become the one responsible for love?"

"There is no god of love in this country! Then it doesn't matter who's in charge!"

"So I'll be the god of heartbreak?"

Daaku-sama quietly stepped out of the shadows.

"Daaku-sama. What do you mean by being in charge of broken hearts?"

"Some people want to break up with their lover but they can't get him to leave them, or they want to get a divorce but their husband won't agree to it. I will be the god that grants their wishes."

I felt a little relieved. I had mistakenly thought that he would grant the wishes of people who were jealous of a close lover or couple.

"Leon-sama! I will not allow you to take my lady to the divine realm! But congratulations!"

This time, Marie emerged from my shadow.

I wonder how many people heard me. I suddenly felt my face heat up with embarrassment.

"Don't worry, Marie. If Rio is taken away to the Divine Realm, I will take Marie to the Divine Realm."

Daaku-sama. You're trying to take Marie away and make her your bride at every opportunity, aren't you?

"So when is the wedding?"

"It is too soon! Rio is only thirteen years old. She'll be engaged until she grows up."

That's right. After I graduate from the Magic Academy, I'll get a job at the Academy and settle down. That'll be at least another five years from now. And Leon and I want to enjoy many romantic activities together.

"Okay! I will train to be a bride!"

"I will help you, milady."

I went back to class and secretly told Chris about it, and she congratulated me.

When I went home and told my parents, my father was visibly depressed.

"What a mess. First royalty, and now you're engaged to a god......"

"But, dear. I'm all for it as long as the person/god involved is Leon."

"Good for you, Rio. You have achieved your dream."

Mother and big brother were thrilled.

"You will soon be my son-in-law. So you can call me mother-in-law if you want."

"Then I guess I'll be your brother-in-law."

"Ellie! Sieg!"

Father snapped at how carefree Mother and brother were.

"Father is against it?

I wanted to get my family's blessing.......

"Rio. No, I'm not ...... against the idea. I've always had an inkling of your love for Leon since you were a child. However, a human being and a god. The two of you are simply too different."

"Father-in-law."

"Who's your father-in-law? I haven't allowed you to marry her yet!"

"You must be jesting. Alexis, you are concerned about the marriage between our two races, aren't you?"

"To be the Bride of God means to share the same life as God. In other words, one day they will have to abandon their life as a human. At first, I was puzzled when I learned about this from Marion's soul memory."

"Indeed. The life span of a human is short compared to that of a god. However, when a god desires a human daughter as his bride, doesn't that also indicate that the human will become equal to a god?"

"That's right. That's why I hesitated, despite knowing Rio's desire. I admit that it is selfish of me, but I cannot let go of Rio."

I knelt down in front of my father and grasped his hand.

"Father, it is difficult for me to know that one day I will be separated from my family and friends. But I want to walk with Leon for a long time to come. Please try to understand."

"Rio ......"

Father turned his head away as tears streamed down his face.

"............ I understand, Rio. Leon-sama. Please take care of my daughter ...... Rio. She is our precious daughter. Please make sure you make her happy."

"I will."

"Thank you, Father."

But then, Father wiped his tears and glared at Leon.

"However! Until you are married, you will not be allowed to stay in the same room!"

"What? Even if I'm in cat form, it's no good?"

"Of course not! Even if you are a cat or a god, you are a man! I can't have an unmarried man and woman sharing a bed together!"

Ehhhh? ! I won't be able to sleep with my fluffiness? That'll be hard, but it can't be helped. At the very least, I'll make sure to fluff Leon a lot before I go to bed.
