'I knew he would say this,' Arabella did not need to convince him at all. She simply had to present the facts they learned in the meeting.
"Thank you," Arabella smiled happily and gave him another peck on the lips. She hugged him and settled her head against his chest, relieved that she did not have to worry about this anymore.
Just as she had expected, Ferdinand would agree to the proposal once he learns that what they would gain was the location of the remaining Prudencians in Crux.
[She's this delighted about it? I just wanted to have the remaining Prudencians return home as soon as possible since it had taken longer than expected. She must have been worrying about them a lot for her to be reacting like this… Wait, did she think I would reject this?]
"Did you think I would say no?" Ferdinand cocked his head to the side. He gently lifted her chin up to meet her gaze.
