Take Jarzy, who is impressed, back to the dining room. There, Early came and offered me a parcel with both hands.
"Here, this! Gin, Christmas present!
"Oh... to me?
I ate it because I didn't think a gift would come to me. I might be weak when I turn to the outpost guard, even though I was startling people.
"Can I open it?
"Ugh, yeah!
Early snorted blushing. Given the relationship between me and her, I feel all sorts of things are out of order, but what a nascent Early, I'm getting nervous too.
Seeing Shirahara smile behind Early's back, apparently it has something to do with the gift. But when did you prepare...
In the box, it was a necklace.
It's a silver chain with black stones. What do you care about this, misrill silver? If I bought it, wouldn't it be quite expensive?
I'll just try to lower it off my neck and stroke the rounded stone, its surface. You're beautifully polished.
"Is there any origin to this?
"Healing stones," he said.
Early hung up.
"I thought Jin might be tired these days. They say wearing them will ease fatigue."
"Oh, Early."
I didn't think, I hugged her in front of me.
"Dj, Jin!?
I guess I surprised you because it was sudden. I quickly left, like a light hug.
"Thank you, Early. Glad to hear it."
"I'm glad you liked it.... you look great."
"Thanks. So where did you get this? Wasn't it expensive?
"I asked Nork to make it,"
Made to order? Dwarf's Nork is in charge of weapons as Elf's Gaea messes with his magic armor and power suit. Well, if you're a dwarf artisan, is misrilled silver a treat too?
"The healing stone was in a dungeon the other day."
Shinohara taught me. I see, with that leg you went turkey hunting, you got this stone? The other way around, did you go to the dungeon to get this?
You've been hit real hard. I'm not willing to blame you, though. But nook...... You finished it in just one day, including stone processing? This isn't human business.
Well, I guess it's time to give it to you, too.
"Early, will you hang out with me for a second"
It's a little embarrassing to give it here, too. That's why I go out to the terrace, just outside the dining room, with room for my surroundings to thrive on meals and gifts.
The light of Christmas illumination flashes lightly and repeatedly. The light gently illuminates her face. Hissy eyes staring again at the colorful lights. I gently took the box out of storage.
"Gin?"
"I don't think I needed the packaging,"
Or do you want to open it yourself? and make sure that Early gives her a small box because she wants to open it.
Early's expression changes when she was excited to open the paper. The smallest box of presents I've ever given everyone. I opened it. Her eyes open wide.
"Ring......"
"Yes."
When I gently took the box from her hand, I fell on one knee.
"I want you to take it. Let me say it out of my mouth again. Let's get married."
Engagement. I mean engagement rings.
"Not immediately, but this is how I feel."
I was recently asked to talk about my marriage. I had decided that Early and I would be bonded in the future, but when they told me if I had made a proper proposal, I hadn't yet.
That's officially how Early became a woman with a curse. In front of the marquis, I said I would get it for my daughter-in-law, which was like a half-public proposal, but that was like a ritual.
So right now, I'll give it to you here.
Early, who received the box again, tears as she holds it to her chest as if it mattered.
"Me... Me, really?
"I want you to take it. To you."
"Yeah......"
Can I put it on? I snorted silently at Early asking. I thought you'd almost receive it, but when I had to be there... I'm gonna cry, too.
"Does it look good?
"Of course."
It is a ring featuring Jade (Hisui), which is said to be Early's guardian gem. Around it a small diamond was sprinkled. When it comes to engagement rings, I usually get the impression that they're diamonds, but I wanted to take care of her jewelry.
I felt signs on such a terrace. If me and Early looked over there, the gallery would be staring at us.
Mr. Bell looks like he's killed some laughter, and Princess Fileille puts her hand on her mouth and turns a gaze of surprise and curiosity. Elisa and Shirahara and the women were just embarrassed because they looked seriously at each other.
It's not a spectacle.
When I stood up, I held Early.
"Any complaints?
The rest of the meal was then flattened and the party ended.
The participants enjoyed Christmas and the maids and cooks cleaning up after also gave me congratulations when they heard that I had given Early my engagement ring.
I think it's too late for them to eat and drink, as they are given permission to enjoy Christmas. Likewise, the Kingsguards should be having a party over at Willidis Cafeteria.
