Bab 164: A Late Confession! (Link X Riya).

(Link's Sea of consciousness, Memories of a forgotten past.)

Rex Mansion, Main Hall.

"Hmm, well I don't really have any problems with it but… will that naïve girl even understand it at all?" (Ashtel)

"It doesn't matter, I am doing it for her sake anyway…" (Raji)

Hearing Raji's remarks, Ashtel nodded his head, but he seemed unsure about it.

"Well, I guess it's okay to get them engaged first, they can decide what to do later on their own, when they both grow up…" (Ashtel)

"Of course, that's what I want too…" (Raji)

(Here, Ashtel is an SS ranker and Raji is still a peak S ranker, she has yet to ascend to rank SS, which means this event took place seven years ago from the current time, at that time both Link and Riya were ten years old…)
