Chapter 111

"What was the name of your "ex" fiance? Christopher?" Idan suddenly asked Arabel.

Arabel noticed that as soon as Idan said Christopher's name, his voice became firmer and sharper.

At first, she didn't understand why this happened, but then, remembering her ascension trial, she realized why his mood had suddenly changed.

She didn't know what exactly had happened to him during the trial, but she could guess.

"Yes, he was chosen by the elders to be my fiance in order to strengthen the bond between our Morgan family and the Hugh family," Arabel confessed, seeing no reason to hide this from Idan.

"Oh," Idan sighed softly, trying to calm the sudden emotions that gripped him when he thought of Arabel's "ex" fiance, Christopher.

He was already beginning to regret that he had remembered Arabel's "ex" fiance. The emotions that he had been holding back for so long suddenly burst out when he heard that name. Idan tried to control his feelings, trying to stop his hands from shaking.

"Are you all right?" — Arabel asked, noticing the sudden change in his demeanor.

"Yes, everything is fine!" said Idan, calming down with difficulty, hearing the concern in Arabel's voice.

"Phew!" he gasped, and his gaze fell on Arabel, who was looking at him anxiously.

Arabel had already roughly guessed that it was the mention of her "ex" fiance that had caused such a drastic change in Idan. She compared it to his actions during the ascension trial.

"Now I'm absolutely sure that the key to full control over the bloodline lies in our world!" said Idan in his thoughts, finally convinced of his guesses.

Under Arabel's worried gaze, Idan began to come to his senses and returned to normal after a while.

He swore that he would never say the name of Arabel's "ex" fiance out loud again.

"There's no need to worry," Idan assured Arabel.

Everyone who was watching noticed the sudden changes in Idan's behavior.

Geminia was particularly interested in this moment. She clearly felt a powerful surge of madness energy that momentarily engulfed Idan's body.

Of course, Arabel didn't believe his words. She knew that he hadn't fully mastered his bloodline yet, and his progress was much slower than hers. Unlike him, she clearly remembered what happened to her during the ascension trial, and she didn't take those memories as painfully.

Arabel realized that she still had a lot to do to fully control her bloodline. Like Idan, she assumed that in order to do this, she needed to return to her world so that these memories would become a part of herself.

Based on this, she assumed that he also needed to return to their world to take control of the bloodline. However, after seeing how he reacted to the name of her "ex" fiance, she began to worry about him.

Idan, calming down, looked at Arabel.

"You know, I thought about Geminia's words and realized that she was right," he said, without taking his eyes off her face.

He still couldn't stop being amazed at how beautiful she was.

Arabel felt uncomfortable under his gaze and was even more embarrassed when Idan said those words.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't like you," Idan said confidently, surprised at how easy and casual it turned out to be.

Arabel blushed, and Idan could have sworn he saw it. However, in the light of the campfire, it was difficult to discern her reaction.

"All this time I was afraid and waiting for you to take the first step in our relationship. I didn't want to be intrusive, and I didn't try to force you into anything if you didn't want to."

Idan's first words sounded so smooth that he couldn't stop and continued talking.

"In the last two months I've been with you, I've realized that I like you. But even realizing this, I kept waiting, waiting for you to show interest on your own. However, when Geminia said her words today, I realized that she was right. I should stop waiting and take the first step."

When Idan said these words, his heart began to beat faster. He could feel his chest pounding with excitement. He began to fear that he might not finish what he was about to say, so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.

Arabel, hearing his confession, was also worried. Her heart was beating so fast that she could hear it pounding. At that moment, she wanted to run and hide, but at the same time, she wanted to hear what he would say next. She couldn't understand why she wanted to hear it so much.

Those who had been watching the couple all this time were waiting with bated breath for the outcome of this drama. Some even started biting their nails out of excitement.

"I know that our first meeting and its outcome were too hasty, and you understand the reasons for that. But this time, nothing and no one forces me to tell you this," sighing and opening his eyes, Idan finally decided to say what he wanted to say.

"Arabel Morgan, you... you..."— at the crucial moment, Idan suddenly began to stutter.

"Damn it, Idan!" everyone who was watching them exclaimed to themselves and waited for Idan's last words when he began to stutter.

"Arabel Morgan, will you... will you become my girlfriend?" Idan finally managed to get out of himself and looked at Arabel, waiting for her answer.

Hearing that Idan was still able to say those words, the others finally calmed down. Now they were holding their breath again, but this time they were waiting for Arabel's answer.

When Idan asked if she would become his girlfriend, Arabelle seemed to fall out of reality for a moment.

Idan, noticing her distant gaze, began to worry a little.

"I just want to say that there is no need to rush. We can start dating, become an official couple, and gradually, step by step, get back to where we started," Idan said excitedly, fearing that Arabel would change her mind and reject him.

After a short period of unconsciousness, when she came to her senses, she heard Idan's words and looked into his eyes.

She couldn't explain why, but at that moment, Idan seemed like a completely different person to her. She didn't understand why this happened, but deep down, she didn't want to say no.

On the contrary, she was a little glad to hear those words.

Finally, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she opened them again and, looking into Idan's eyes, said:

"I agree."

Her voice sounded surprisingly confident.

After these words, it seemed to her that something had changed inside her. All the worries that had bothered her before seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

"YES!" At this time, everyone who was following this drama screamed to themselves after seeing such an outcome.
