Chapter 430 Sylvia's Sudden Confession

As the conversation continued, Mireya turned to Valeria and asked, "By the way, Miss Valeria, do you happen to know how long it would take us to reach the core part of the forest?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure when we'll get to the forest's center," General Valeria groaned and shook her head.

"The Middle Area of the forest is far larger than one could expect, spanning more than 500 km, and no one has a clear map of it."

"And because I haven't attended any meetings in almost a week, they must be really upset with my behavior for ignoring them like that. But, since I want to spend my time with you, I don't care what others think of me."

"I'll ask King Richard later about our current location and how long it will take us to reach the Core Area of the forest." General Valeria replied to Mireya with a smile, and she got intrigued about their current location, as they had been traveling for over a week.

Furthermore, when they approach the Forest's Core Area, they should expect to encounter a few corrupted monsters; however, this is not the case now, as they are only fighting standard S-rank or SS-rank monsters.

"You're implying that King Richard carries a map of the forest with him, which is absurd," Lily remarked.

"Well, to tell you the truth, he does have a map of the forest with him," General Valeria nodded and smiled, "Although it's pretty old and not very clear, it's the only thing that will assist us to get to the forest's Core Area."

"I see...that's reassuring." Leah breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they had a map to guide them through the wilderness.

Lily smiled proudly as she placed her hand on Leah's shoulder. "Leah, you worry too much. Even if we don't have a map, we won't get lost in this wilderness because Yuan is with us.

She swiftly continued: "And if we get lost in this wilderness, we can just fly out with our flying swords. So don't stress and relax."

"Lily is right; we won't get lost in the forest, so don't worry," Anna comforted everyone with a smile, before beginning to prepare the mattress for everyone to sleep on.

While Anna prepared the mattress, Sylvia stared at Yuan with a dissatisfied and anxious expression on her face.

'What should I do now? Despite Madam Mireya's confession to Yuan, I lack the bravery to share my sentiments with him. Am I truly that weak?' Sylvia clenched her hand tightly in frustration, as she did not want to be single at this time.

'No! I am not weak! I need to be strong and fearless, and I should not be afraid of rejection! Even if he rejects me now, I will continue to pester him until he accepts me.' Sylvia thought with a confident and anticipatory expression on her face.

Yuan was perplexed when he spotted Sylvia's unusual countenance; it was not typical of her.

"Sylvia, what's with that expression? Is there something bothering you?" Mireya asked first, with a mocking tone and a knowing smile on her face.

"Oh! No, it is nothing...I was simply lost in my thoughts." Sylvia suddenly snapped out of her daze and responded with an uneasy expression on her face.

"I see...I'm relieved that you're not experiencing the issue I had assumed you were having." Mireya grinned and remarked, then she looked at Yuan, who was grinning while sporting a playful expression.

"Yuan, what's with you now? Why are you grinning so broadly?" She enquired.

"I don't know when it actuallyhappens,your image keeps flashing in my headandI can't think straight when I look at you, I'msure about feeling that I've fallen in love with you," she said, taking a long breath before speaking again.

"I love you, Yuan."His bodytrembled with eagerness as she whispered and blew warm breath into his ears.

With a smile on his face and a stare directly into hers, Yuan signaled to Sylvia that they should kiss to make things official.

Though he was aware that she harbored romantic sentiments for him, Yuanwas nonetheless taken abackby her audacity in boldly declaring her love for him in front of his wives.

'I'm in shock that Sylvia is telling me she loves me. I'm shocked; I never imagined she would declare her love to thewholeworld!' With a shocked expression on his face, Yuan thought.

Yuangave her a quick smileand asked, "Should we kiss to seal the deal now?"

"Naturally, let's proceed!" With a gleeful grinon her face, Sylvia gives Mireya a quick glance as she says joyfully.

'Do it,Sylvia,I'm glad we're going to become true sisters, and you haven't been in a relationship with a man merely because of me.' Grinning, Mireya considered, glad for her helper who was always there for her.

'Talk about a surprise—it appears that Grace and I are going to have a new daughter-in-law!' Anna thought as she grinned, her enthusiasm visible in her eyes.

'As anticipated by my beloved, he truly is a ladykiller! He has grown so much because of my positive impact, and I'm so proud of him!' Grace appeared pleased to see that Sylvia, and not any other female, had also admitted her emotions for him.

Sylvia whispered, "Yuan, this is my first kiss, so please be careful with me." She was embarrassed to kiss Yuan, so her voice was hardly audible above a whisper.

With a soft smile, Yuan pulled her face in closer till they could feel each other's breaths on their faces.

"Don't worry, since it's your first kiss, I'll make it a memorable one," he said.

"Yuan, you might be surprised to hear that I'm a Dark Elf and My Lady is a High Elf; this isn't how my skin naturally looks."

With love and affectionin his voice, Yuan whispered to Sylvia, "It doesn't matter what your skin tone is. The important thing is that you are still the Sylvia I know."

Sylvia looked into Yuan's eyes and felt the intensity of his love flood over her, causing her eyes to sparkle with passion.

"Thank you, Yuan." She spoke quietly, her heart bursting with appreciation for hisresoluteacceptance.

'He accepted me...I'm overjoyed. This day is the greatest one yet!' She gives a silent scream.

With a gentle smile, Yuan leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, sealing their love with a tender kiss. In that moment, the world around them faded awayleavingonly the warmth of their embrace and the sweet taste of their shared affection as their lips locked.

Both seemquitehappy embracing each other, theyeven forget that everyone is watching them with interest, theycouldn't help but dive deep into the sweet taste of the kiss.
