Chapter 287 A Request to The Ice Goddess
Ciel did not know whether it was Rin who forgot to close the door tightly or the Ice Goddess deliberately left the door open because she knew that he was coming.
After taking a deep breath, Ciel took a step to the door of the woman's room. He was not nervous at all.
In no time, he arrived in front of the door and pushed it with his finger, revealing the Goddess's room that had not changed at all.
Ciel looked inside the room carefully to find the figure of the Ice Goddess.
When he found her, Ciel showed a strange expression.
How could it not be, the Ice Goddess was not actually standing in front of the window or sitting behind the desk. Right now, she was actually on her bed, half-lying down with her back leaning against the wall of the bed while her legs were in a straight position.
It was a very enchanting sight for Ciel because the woman was also only wearing a plain white dress that was relaxing. It was a dress she probably slept in, but the Ice Goddess rarely slept as she was always busy on various matters.
To Ciel, the Ice Goddess now looked like she was waiting for her husband to enter the room.
Even with his personality, Ciel found it difficult to react.
He wondered what he needed to do now. Did he need to half-lying by the Ice Goddess' side?
Although Ciel was not nervous at all at first, now his heart was racing.
This was hard to control since the Ice Goddess was acting like this.
After a moment of silence, Ciel decided to close the door.
The Ice Goddess was actually looking at him, but her gaze was so calm that it was impossible to guess her thoughts. It was not her usual cold gaze. If she only showed a cold gaze, her emotions could still be guessed because it meant that her heart was cold.
Ciel then walked towards the Ice Goddess's bed.
It was not an unfamiliar place to him as he had slept there several times.
"Are you waiting for me, Aeliana?" asked Ciel to the Ice Goddess as he got closer to her bed.
After asking that, he smiled wryly.
"You know, I've fused with all the Holy Flames in the past few years, so I can't meet you right away, I hope you're not angry," he added.
He was deliberately teasing her because his words practically seemed to assume that the Ice Goddess missed him a lot during his absence.
The woman was still silent while her eyes were still fixed on Ciel.
Ciel could not comment much on her personality. She was indeed a woman with a personality that was hard to shake. n-(o-/v))e-/l.)b/(I)/n
When Ciel finally arrived at the bedside, he immediately climbed onto it, then mimicked the position of the Ice Goddess right beside her.
Not only that, he even placed his hand on top of hers. It was warm and very soft. Ciel felt her blood heat up just by touching her hand.
The woman's heart and strength were extremely cold, but her body was just like a normal human body, warm and full of life.
"What are you thinking about, Aeliana?" Ciel asked her because until now the woman had continued to stare at him.
Her head was tilted to the side so that her neck looked taut.
"Not thinking about anything." The woman finally replied, her tone sounding very flat, as if she was really thinking of nothing.
This made it difficult for Ciel to continue their communication.
After a moment of thought, he said, "my dear wife, you don't look like your usual self, I'm sure you're thinking about something."
Ciel's fingers caressed the top of her palm as he said that, smiling while looking at her face.
Now Ciel felt that the Ice Goddess was not telling the truth.
This woman was indeed difficult to understand.
His words this time where he referred to the Ice Goddess with the words my dear wife apparently made a warm breath blow from her beautiful nose.
If there was anything different about the Ice Goddess, she didn't seem to mind at all when Ciel referred to her as his wife.
Or perhaps it was like that.
Ciel observed her eyes which did not show any ripples.
After that, Ciel made a certain movement, he moved up her body.
When he did that, the Ice Goddess' eyes instantly widened and trembled. She finally showed a reaction. Even then her breathing became somewhat rapid.
Ciel showed a strange look after seeing her reaction just now.
This was not hard to deduce, this woman was probably embarrassed and panicked.
Normally, she would scold Ciel if she was in this state, but now she was just silent.
At the same time, when she was silent, she was really skilled at hiding her emotions.
Unfortunately, when Ciel climbed on top of her, controlling emotions seemed to be something she could no longer do.
"Aeliana, to be honest, the course of my life is practically ordered to the end. If everything goes well, then I can continue to live with infinite glory," Ciel said as he brought his face slightly closer to the Ice Goddess' face so that he could feel her warm breath clearly.
He continued, "if it fails, even I will die, everyone will die. However, it's not something I'm seriously thinking about right now because things will only happen far in the future. And my instincts tell me that everything will be fine. I will be the final victor, defeating the menacing enemy out there. It's just that there's one thing I can't be sure of yet, and that's fully owning you. As long as I have you, it means that my life's journey is complete."
After saying all that, Ciel placed one of his palms on the Ice Goddess' cheek.
He then added, "Aeliana, will you do me a favor so that my life journey will be complete?"
He practically asked the woman.
After all that, he didn't say anything else, just waited for her to answer.
To his surprise, she answered quite quickly.
"Do whatever you want, after all, I promised," she said in a tone that sounded indifferent while her face stared off to the side.
