Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 18 Delia, Marry Me!
Linley landed on the edge of the lakeshore and looked at Delia, whose eyes were glistening with excited tears, with an urge to go and hold Delia in his arms. Although he had this impulse in his heart, he himself was standing in front of Delia, his mouth open, but he didn’t know what to say.
There were a million words in his heart, but he couldn’t say a single one when they met.
“Linley is still like this.” Delia smiled as she took the initiative to extend her left hand.
Looking at the small, white hand, Linley froze for a moment, and Delia glared as she skimmed her lips and said, “Nerd, are you asking me to perform a special flight technique just to get to the center of the lake?” Here to the center of the lake is tens of meters, Delia can’t pass without performing a flight technique.
Seeing Delia’s eyes as she looked at herself, as well as that outstretched hand that was as shiny as ivory, Linley finally stretched out his own right hand and interlocked his fingers with Delia’s.
“Ah, Linley, I’ll leave first.” Sessler spoke out at this time.
Linley and Delia’s faces flushed a hint of red at almost the same time, and while Linley turned his head to give Sessler a breathless look, Sessler winked at Linley, and promptly flew off alone.
“Sessler it is.” Linley held Delia’s hand, and with a single point of his foot, a whirlwind encircled the two. Lightly …… Linley and Delia then floated to the center of the lake, and the two of them walked to the steps at the edge of the central rock and sat down side by side.
Both of them were still holding hands, feeling Delia’s soft little hands, Linley felt as if he was standing on a cloud, and Delia’s face was slightly red, the atmosphere between the two of them all of a sudden ambiguous.
Suddenly–
Linley took a look at the lake not too far away, Bebe was emerging that little head, his soulful pair of eyes were looking at Linley, Delia and the two of them in a thieving manner.
“Ah, boss! You guys continue, I, Bebe, will play first. You guys continue!” Seeing that he had been discovered, Bebe immediately sank down in a flash. However, neither Linley nor Delia had noticed that on the branch of a large tree in the distance of Blackwool Mountain, a Mad Thunder Blizzard Eagle was secretly looking this way.
“Pfft.” Delia immediately laughed, “Linley, Bebe is still really cute.”
Linley nodded and laughed, “Bebe is just like that. By the way, Delia, you didn’t come over until today after you returned from the O’Brien Empire last time? Did something happen?” Linley still remembered that when Delia had originally left, she had said that she would be looking for him soon.
“En.” Delia nodded her head, but then she fell silent.
The series of things that had happened in the imperial capital had truly made Delia very sad. Disappointed in her own parents. Linley mentioned this …… Delia’s mood had also lowered.
“Did something happen? Talk to me.” Linley held Delia’s hand tightly.
“You really want to listen?” Delia stared at Linley from close range.
Linley nodded.
“If you listen, you can have to marry me.” Delia suddenly said.
“Uh…… “Linley was somewhat embarrassed by this sudden attack, Delia was indeed the only woman Linley liked nowadays, but letting him immediately marry Delia…… Linley’s heart was still There are some lumps in his heart. It was the first time that Linley had a kind of defense.
To women, he didn’t dare to invest 100% of his feelings.
Worry. And being hurt through again.
“Just kidding.” Delia laughed, then grunted, “Linley you’re the same, you can’t coax me to be happy either.” Delia’s words. It also caused Linley to remove his embarrassment.
Delia took a deep breath, “Now I can start talking ah, still want to listen?”
Linley immediately nodded.
Delia calmed herself down, held Linley’s hand, looked at the tranquil lake in front of her, and slowly said, “Linley. That time, I received a letter from my family and immediately went back. But after I went back, I realized …… that my grandmother was in good health. There isn’t a single problem.”
Linley frowned.
Delia’s letter had come, but it had told him that her grandmother was in good health. Linley had already sensed that there seemed to be some hidden agenda in there.
“Then I realized that my parents knew from my teacher that I stayed in the O’Brien Empire to be with you. So my parents they used this trick in order to separate me from you.” Delia looked at Linley with a bitter smile, “It’s a clumsy move, isn’t it, but I still fell for it.”
Linley was puzzled, “Your parents did this ……”
“For the sake of the family.”
Delia sighed, “Back when you hadn’t yet opened up in the Domain of Chaos, almost everyone on the Yulan Continent thought that you were a member of the O’Brien Empire. And the O’Brien Empire and my Magnolia Empire have always viewed each other as great enemies.”
Linley understood that the most powerful on the Yulan Continent were these two empires.
“In the eyes of my earthly parents, if I marry you, it’s tantamount to having an important relationship with an enemy Saint realm powerhouse. His Majesty the Emperor of the Yulan Empire will definitely lower his trust in our family. Therefore, my parents don’t want me to be with you.”
Delia glanced at Linley, “Of course, that’s what my parents think. They don’t know …… that we haven’t talked about marriage yet.”
Linley could only touch his nose.
Delia said bitterly, “There are quite a few people in the imperial capital who pursue me, and my parents they persuaded me to marry someone else. I’m not willing to! I really don’t hate any of this! Linley …… At that time, I really wanted to come to you immediately. However, I didn’t want to break my relationship with my parents, my parents that I love!”
“I understand.” Linley comforted.
He was certainly clear about Delia’s mood, as he was also someone who cherished his home and his parents.
“I wanted to come to you so badly, but I didn’t want to lose my parents.” Delia bit her lip, her voice lowered, and Linley could clearly feel Delia’s grip on his hand hardening.
“But I also told my parents that if you build a principality in the Domain of Chaos and no longer belong to the O’Brien Empire’s side. Then they won’t stop me from being with you.” Delia said, “So, I’m holding back.”
Linley placed Delia’s hand on his lap.
Delia glanced at Linley, a hint of a smile on her face, “I was waiting …… for you to build the duchy. However, my parents suddenly told me that they wanted me to marry His Majesty, the Emperor of the Yulan Empire, so that I could become the Empress.
“En?” Linley felt a hint of anger in his heart.
This Delia Land’s parents were just a bit too much.
“I was unwilling. I got angry with my parents that time.” Delia shook her head and said helplessly, “I’ve always been very filial in front of my parents, but that time I got angry. I told my parents plainly that I wouldn’t marry those people even if I died.”
Linley’s heart was touched for a moment. For a woman to be able to make it this far was truly touching.
“I was waiting for …… Finally, I waited for a letter from you. You established the Baruch Principality.” Delia looked at Linley, “At the time, I was so excited that my parents would finally not stop us anymore.” Linley was also happy in his heart at the moment.
In Linley’s opinion, Delia should have finished talking to her parents, yet come over happily.
“I told my parents this news, but …… my parents they even persuaded me to marry that emperor.” Delia had a trace of bitterness on her face.
“How could that be?” Linley’s face changed.
It had gotten to this point. To still be like this, Linley could completely empathize with how Delia felt at the time.
“Yes, how could it be like this?” There was a touch of sadness in Delia’s eyes, “I went over there happily, but I didn’t expect this outcome. Actually …… I should have thought of it. My father is the patriarch of the family land, of course he has to think about the family. In his view. That His Majesty the Emperor is excellent, has a high status, and is beneficial to the family, marrying His Majesty the Emperor. It is really perfect. But …… he never thought about things from my perspective.”
Delia took a deep breath, “So, I no longer have the luxury.”
Delia looked at Linley, “I came, no longer caring about my parents, I left the Imperial Capital and came to find you.”
Looking at Delia’s eyes. There was a surge of emotion in Linley’s heart – it was touching, it was pity, it was fulfillment!
“Delia ……” Linley wanted to open his mouth and say something. But it was like a fish in his throat, unable to speak.
The girl in front of her ……
For herself, she could wait ten years alone.
For herself, she could not care less about the temptation of the ‘Empress’ power.
For herself, she had even gone so far as to choose to leave her loving parents and come to herself alone, alone.
Linley suddenly felt a sense of shame, he suddenly despised himself and resented himself!
“Someone else, a girl, paid so much for you, and you didn’t even have a promise from start to finish.” Linley mentally chided himself.
“What am I waiting for? What am I hesitating for?”
He looked at Delia’s eyes, Delia’s mind had always expressed itself clearly, she had been waiting for herself …… and she had been hesitating. But today Linley realized that what he had gotten when he had always hesitated and always worried had been precious.
“Abandoning everything, waiting for ten years, and now she’s still waiting …… without any of my any promises.” Linley looked at the tearstains in the corner of Delia’s eyes, and suddenly his heart twitched and hissed, “Should I let Delia wait like this forever, until one day she’s saddened by her heart as if she’s dead, and leaves alone?”
Linley’s heart stung.
“Ka-ching~~~”
The layer of solid ice at the bottom of Linley’s heart completely shattered open at this moment, completely dissolving.
Linley didn’t want to wait any longer. ‘
Didn’t want to make himself wait!
Nor did he want Delia to be waiting!
“Linley, what’s wrong with you?” Delia couldn’t help but say with worry when she saw Linley’s expression.
Linley suddenly stretched out his hands and held onto Delia’s shoulders, but Delia felt her heart tremble. Linley gazed at Delia and took a deep breath as he solemnly said, “Delia …… marry me!”
Delia’s eyes instantly glazed over as she stared blankly at Linley.
When uttering this sentence, lightning flashed in Linley’s mind as he recalled a scene from the past with Delia, from the first time they met at the Ernst College of Magic, meeting that adorable little girl, spending time together as teenagers, that late-night kiss goodbye in Wushan Town……
Scene after scene.
He felt warm at the bottom of his heart.
With a wife like this, what extravagance did he have that he wasn’t satisfied with?
“Linley.” Delia swallowed her throat and looked at Linley with wide eyes, “What did you just say, say it again, okay?” Delia’s voice trembled a little.
Linley stared at Delia and said word for word, “Delia, marry me! Marry me, Linley, and stay with me forever, never separate. Okay?” Linley’s voice was also a little shaky, and at this moment, Linley felt nervous.
Yes, it was nervousness.
Delia looked into Linley’s eyes, but tears suddenly flowed down her face.
How long had it been?
How long had one waited for this day?
When she was a teenager, when her feelings were still hazy, she had been looking forward to this day in her heart, looking forward to Linley being her Prince Charming.
Day by day, she waited ……
Back then she was a teenage girl, but now she was already a twenty-eight year old girl. For more than ten years, no matter if it was Alice being with Linley, Linley’s disappearance for ten years, or her parents’ obstacles, none of it made her give up.
Her greatest fear was that ……
Linley would give up on her!
She had been waiting, and she hadn’t even dared to force Linley to make a promise!
“Are you willing?” Linley looked at Delia’s tear-stained face, a touch in his heart.
Delia fiercely held onto Linley tightly, saying over and over in Linley’s ear, “I’m willing, I’m willing, I’m willing ……” Linley felt the warmth that passed through Delia’s body, and his heart was unprecedentedly content.
