I didn’t even know how desperate I was because I was busy running toward my goal after returning to the past, but when I realized it, I was out of breath, and I guess I needed someone to comfort me.

I looked at Cassion quietly and reached out my hand.

‘Your Highness, please accept my hand.’

Cassion’s hand that was quietly placed on the blanket flinched.

‘Your Highness, it’s time to be more courageous.’

I swallowed the words that could have burdened him and stretched my hand forward a little more.
Cassion turned his head away.

However, unlike his head, Cassion’s hand reached toward me.
Cassion’s hand almost missed mine.

“Please hold it properly.”

However, it was too much to ask for more from the shy Prince.
I grabbed Cassion’s hand without having the intention to let it go.

It was the back of his rough hand.
Cassion, who wasn’t familiar with having skin contact with others, trembled when he reached out his rough hand.
I opened my mouth, pretending not to notice at all.

“Your Highness, thank you.”

“What?”

“For worrying about me.”

“I can only worry about you.”

“That’s more than enough.”

You had already given me a big gift in your previous life, so you just had to receive the gift I gave you in this life.

Cassion’s head slowly returned to my direction.
When he made eye contact with me, he didn’t blink.

His golden eyes had changed significantly from before.
They were a pair of determined eyes containing a will to live.

“Are you sure?”

He asked.
He sure needed a lot of encouragement.

“Which one? About whether I have a lot of money? Or taking your revenge when we get married?”

This time, Cassion sighed.

“The end of the people who pointed their fingers at the cursed doll.”

Cassion wasn’t only an innocent child, so he should have known that I made it up, yet he asked about it again.

“If you’re not sure, I can make you believe it.”

He could just ask me to prove it.

“You?”

“If Your Highness wants it, we could do it together.”

The corners of Cassion’s mouth went up.
At that moment, the image of the grown-up Cassion overlapped with the one in front of me.

The elegant appearance of a healthy grown-up man and the pressuring vibe as if everyone were under his feet.

“Your Highness……”

“Let’s do it.”

He gave strength to the hands I held together.

“Let’s do it.
Let’s get married.”

He finally plucked up his courage.

“Really? You are going to marry me?”

Diana’s large and clear eyes were colored with joy.
Her eyes, which looked like a deep forest under dark clouds, turned into a clear meadow with the smell of bushes after rain.

At that moment, Cassion’s heart fluttered and pulled out his hand.

Diana, who held his hand again as if saying, ‘Why did you pull your hands?’, seemed to not even know the reason why he pulled out his hand out of hers.

‘She is really blunt.
Is it that good to marry me?’

Cassion felt awkward and rubbed under his nose.

“Could you say it again, Your Highness?”

Diana grabbed Cassion’s collar and shook him.
Cassion silently looked at the hands that he thought of how to get rid of them in the past.

It didn’t feel that bad to have a pair of white and delicate hands to hold and shake his clothes like that.

“What? Say what again?”

“What you just said to me.”

What did she want to hear so much when all he said was just he agreed to marry her, not that he was interested in her nor that they could live together right away?

‘Well, I can be a little generous.’

As gratitude for embarrassing Julia and kicking her out, Cassion said again with more emphasis.

“Let’s get married, Diana Viola Irenberg.”

Diana’s mouth opened.
She blinked as if she didn’t understand what she had just heard.

“Why? Why do you want to marry me?”

Out of all possible replies, she gave an unexpected question.

Diana kept asking Cassion to marry her, yet, when he asked her the same thing, she wanted him to give her his reason?

“Please tell me, Your Highness.
You must have a reason to marry me.”

There were many reasons.
After meeting Diana, he fell asleep every night and reflected on her proposal.

If he married her, he could get his revenge.
It was his biggest perk of marrying her.

‘She is also capable of turning the beggarly Third Prince’s Palace into a place where people could live.’

Diana said she had a lot of money, so his life would definitely be prosperous.

‘She also healed my illness.’

Cassion didn’t know what magic she did, but after taking the medicine that a man with sky-blue hair brought with him last time, he could move more easily.

The pain that kept coming all the time disappeared when he took the medicine, making it easier for him to live the day.
That alone made Cassion feel like he could do anything.

He had a lot of reasons.
However, there was something else why he decided to accept her proposal.
