Chapter: 1039

“……are you happy?”

The light green eyes that looked down at Gretel sparkled with happiness.

“Of course I am. You must be very surprised that I did it all of a sudden. Thank you for telling me.”

Fritz looked genuinely pleased.

You are happy.

Well, of course she expected him to.

Still, she had anxiety. But hearing his answer made her relieved now.

As Gratel stared at Fritz quietly, he paused slightly and hardened his face.

“Don’t you want to have a child?” he asked.

“Oh, no. It’s not like that.”

Although unexpected, she didn’t want to get rid of it.

Gretel continued, “But you must be surprised to hear that I have a child all of a sudden…….”

“What I just said was sincere.”

“Yes?”

What did he say?

She was confused because so many things happened in a row.

Suddenly, she remembered what she had just heard.

“I know I am too hasty to say this, but I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”

She herself was surprised to hear that and fell into the lake.

“First of all, we’d better go back to the castle. It would be better to talk slowly after taking care of your health.”

Fritz took another step, embracing her.

Her heart was relieved by his touch, which was much more careful than before, but she was also dumbfounded.

‘Are you really saying that you want to marry me?’

How are you going to get the emperor’s permission to marry me? What will people say?

That’s what she wanted to ask.
