章節 223: Chapter 223: A Secret Only Mine.

POV Victor.

As I looked at the ceiling of the ice castle I created, some random thoughts came to my mind.

When was the first time I met Ruby...?

When was it?

Yes...

When was it?

If I remember correctly.

The first time I met Ruby was when she was cornered by the hunters. I remember in the past, I learned about Ruby from Kaguya.

At that time, I had no idea who Ruby was, but I had this 'feeling' of closeness with her; I think it was because of the wedding ritual?

... Wrong... The first time maybe it was because of the ritual, but over time, it developed into something more.

Although I didn't spend as much time with her as I did with Scathach, with whom I spent 6 months training alongside, I was able to understand Ruby a little more.

Could I understand her, and in understanding her, I could love her?

Loving her, protecting her from all harm, as if it were a wedding vow...
