'I did not realize I missed her this much.' But as he thought of this sentence, he realized why she was this mad. 'Wait a minute.....!!' "Are you mad at because I did not co to see you these days?" Aditya hesitantly asked. "Hmph....!!!" He got a snort in return. 'I guess I was correct.' 'Now, how should I coax her?'
Aditya looked around. Just like before, he couldn't spread his consciousness. He could not sense anything around him, confirming that he was indeed in the spiritual world.
'Even if I am in a spiritual world, I should be able to bring out my wings to fly, right?' Just as he thought of his wings coming out of his back, it worked. His crimson wings ca out of his back. Instantly, Aditya stopped falling. He stopped in midair. "Rin, are you going to keep hiding?" Aditya asked but got nothing in response. Seeing this, he sighed inwardly. This woman was stubborn. Her stubbornness kind of reminded him of Sasha. Aditya has never t anyone more stubborn than that woman. "Alright! I apologize. I am sorry." In the end, this is what Aditya can do. This was his mistake, and he felt that he needed to apologize to her.
The Dragon Monarch, the man who ruled over the lives of hundreds of millions of lives, apologized to a woman whom he just t once. Aditya's sincere apology instantly softened Rin's heart. Her expression softened. Aditya noticed that the sky and the white clouds around him were beginning to fade into green surroundings. Aditya noticed the ground just a few inches away from his foot. As he landed on the ground, he realized that she had brought him back to the sa place where they had t first. Aditya found himself standing under that sa Oak tree. As he was looking at the scenerary in front of him, suddenly, from the left corner of his vision, he caught the sight of a few stands of Crimson red hair. As he looked to the left, he finally saw her. She still looked the sa as ever. She was still as beautiful as the first ti that he t her. Those long Crimson hair of hers seed to be tied in a ssy bun, which did not seem to diminish her beauty but rather seed to make her look even more beautiful. There she was!! Dressed in the sa beautiful outfit as Aditya had seen her previously. The long-sleeved red floral dress that reached all the way to her ankle was still the sa. Aditya kept staring at her. She also kept staring at Aditya. She had a small smile on her lips, which was reserved but also had a hint of mischievousness. Those eyes of hers seem to hold infinite happiness. "Aditya, I missed you." She was sitting in the sa spot as before. It was as if this whole eting was a continuation of their first eting. While gazing at him, she brushed so strands of her crimson hair behind her ears.
"I missed you too." Aditya wasn't lying. He did miss this woman whom he had just t once. The strange thing was that he felt very attached to her.
When he t her, he felt very relaxed.
He let his guard down.
He strangely believed everything that she told him. Even now, those feelings are still the sa. Aditya wasn't soone who was moved by beauty. He wasn't soone who beca soft in front of beautiful won. He has t beautiful female opponents in the past and in his previous life. Regardless of how beautiful his female opponents had been, he had never shown them rcy because they were won or they were beautiful won.
This woman strangely pulled him into this spiritual world to et him. Rather than feeling suspicious and cautious of this woman, Aditya was very relaxed with her. When she was unhappy and mad, he even apologized to her. This was very out of the Dragon Monarch's character. "Hmph!!! Lair!!" Rin puffed her cheeks and looked away. She looked angry. Seeing this, Aditya smiled. He almost went forward to poke her cheeks. "I am not lying." Aditya calmly explained himself. "Then why didn't you co to see sooner?" She asked without looking at him. Hearing her voice, Aditya assud that she was still angry as it sounded that way. But other than sounding angry, her tone also sounded very lonely. 'Was she lonely?' Aditya then rembered the words that she said during their first eting. For now, he wasn't sure of anything. He can only make guesses. "Actually, after our first eting, I was so busy that I stopped lying. I ca close to becoming a recluse in my own office because of work. In those days, sleep wasn't a thing that I could waste my precious ti on." "But the war ended about 3 to 4 days ago," Rin asked. She was still pouting. "Well, after the war ended, I did not beco free from my work imdiately. I also had to compensate my loved ones for not spending any ti with them."
"You weren't even sleeping during nightti because you were with your loved ones?" Rin suspiciously asked. Aditya felt a little bit embarrassed, but he still nodded his head. "Yes!!"
"Don't tell those loved ones are you future wives?" Rin suddenly understood why Aditya did not look at her when he nodded his head. Aditya nodded while looking at her. "How do you know about them?" After asking this question, he realized that it was a stupid question. This was public information. Everyone knew about the Dragon Monarch's harem.
It would be surprising if Rin did not know about his won. "Of course, I have heard of them," Rin said with a small smirk.
Like I told you before, the are countless rumors circulating about you. "One rumor I heard was that - You're a Lustful Dragon who wants to marry all seven Goddesses." Hearing this, Aditya's eye twitched. Rin looked amused after seeing his reaction, so she continued. "If you weren't this strong, then many n would have co to take your life because you have engaged with their dream won."
Hearing this, Aditya coldly snorted. "Those are just spineless n. These are the kind of n who will claim that they can snap Thanos's head before he can snap his fingers." Hearing this, Rin doubtfully tilted her head and asked. "Who is Thanos?" Aditya realized that he had spoken of soone from his previous world. He did not an to do that.
"Thanos is a superpowerful villain in a novel. With the snap of his fingers, he can wipe out half of all living beings in the entire universe."
Hearing this, Rin widened her eyes. "Though, this is nothing but a work of fiction. Nothing like this is possible in reality." Or maybe sothing even more crazier was possible since this was the world of fantasy. "I have never heard of this story before. Can you please tell more about him?" "I will tell you later." Aditya had so questions that he wanted to ask her. "Alright!!" Although she sounded reluctant she still nodded her head. "So, how is the state of the Istarin Empire?" Rin curiously asked.
"It's peaceful for now." "For now?" Rin asked while raising an eyebrow. "I don't know!! I just have this feeling that things will beco chaotic soon. These days, peaceful tis are short-lived. You don't know what might happen next." "It's like a being in the sea and facing waves. One after another. There doesn't seem to be any end of it."
"I see!!" "Danna-sama, you're the only one who can go through all of these difficulties and rise to the top." Her sweet, lodic words were really comforting to Aditya. "Enough about !! Tell about yourself." He wanted to know more about her. Hearing this, Rin grinned. "So, Danna-sama is finally taking interest in ." Aditya nodded his head, looking very serious. "After our first eting, I researched about you." "Ohh.....!! What did you learn about ?" Rin beca interested. "You're sweet and lodic voice leads to believe that you're soone very special." He looked into her beautiful eyes and spoke slowly while observing her reaction. "The way you talk, sit, or stand makes believe that you are a noble."
"However, I do not understand why you want to see ." Rin can tell that Aditya was holding one most important part back. Seeing no changes in her reaction, Aditya took a deep breath and spoke what he learned of her.
"I believe that you're The Goddess of Music."
Hearing this, Rin's smile widened. Her face beca brighter. Aditya also understood why she called him 'Danna-sama'. "Danna-sama, I have wanted to et you since I learned that I was engaged to you."
