''Fine, since you dared to mess with me, then don't blame me for being vicious'' she sneered and dashed forward towards him but he merely turned his body a little and 'dancing in the sky; couldn't catch him but instead, he kicked her right foot which was closer to him and she tripped. Her sword was the first to fall to her dismay before her body started to follow but he swiftly held her hand, not too tightly but not also too loosely. He wanted her to see if she had fear in her or not because she seemed to be one who didn't fear anything.

''If I lift just two fingers out, you will be down there. The water underneath the mountains will sweep you away and you will be eaten by all the vengeful spirits of the beasts that you slay'' he told her.

''Then, let me go. I would rather be eaten by a vengeful spirit than give myself to you''

''Really? Then, what is that I see in your eyes'' he asked as the voices of the tenacious spectator drew nearer.

''Looks like a lot of people are coming this way. Is it worth it to die in this manner?''

''You tricked me, right?'' she asked angrily.

''So what if I tricked you, so what if didn't trick you? Actually this is quite simple. We are both good gamers, if we combine our skills, we will be powerful.

Giving yourself to me isn't such a bad thing. It's not like we are getting married in the real world, plus, we don't even know each other. What could possibly go wrong if we team up and become a powerful couple?''

As she listened to him, 'dancing in the sky' became a little convinced but been a stubborn person by nature, she couldn't succumb to him that easily. She would seem like a fickle person.

''If the people come, who is going to be the winner then? I am a woman and must hold onto my last string of dignity or else, these people will mock me for the rest of my life. I won't be able to lift my head in front of them''

''A man should give in to the woman, I will tell everyone that I lost, so that you won't have to lose face in front of your subjects''

''That won't do. I will feel guilty about this day for the rest of my life, I hate coveting what's not mine''

''But, we are now a couple. Who cares about who becomes the winner. Actually, you are not so bad yourself. You are a capable person; you just need to work on you temper a little or you will always end up getting yourself into trouble''

''Are you lecturing me right now?''

''No, I dare not lecture the empress. So, do we have a deal?''

''Fine, you win'' she said and he pulled her over to himself. She crashed into his chest and he wrapped his arm around her waist as he stared into her eyes.

This was the scene that the tenacious spectators which including the two servants of 'my lonely heart beats for you' and the people who followed 'dancing in the sky' saw when they ascended up the mountain.

Talk about shock; they were stupefied as they watch, not knowing what to make of the situation. Weren't they fighting just now? When did things become this intense between them?

''Huh?''

''Then who won and who lost?'' the people asked.

''I lost to her''

''No, we both won. After fighting for so long, we naturally grew tired and closer at the same time, so nobody lost. We all won'' 'dancing in the sky' said and saw the confused looks the people gave her.

''You don't need to help me save face. I lost to her'' my lonely heart beats for you said emphatically.

''Master, did you really lose?'' 'I am forever chubby because I won't stop eating' asked. He found it unbelievable because he knew the power his master wielded.

''Yes, master, we shall go and get things ready'' 'always freeloading' said and started pulling everyone along with him as he went away leaving the two people alone.

''Well, you did save mine and I believe in paying back good deeds with good deeds''

''So, we are considered a marriage couple like that, right? Even though our wedding is in a week's time''

''Well, I guess so. Oh, I have to leave now. I need to submit my assignment to my lecturer online on time. The portal will shut down after the time elapses'' she said looking at her time.

''Are you a student?''

''Yes, I am a second year medical biochemistry science student''

''That's great. No wonder you are so intelligent''

.....

Mirabel removed the heavy headsets on her ears and stretched her arms. It has been a long day but it was worth it.

Thinking about how 'my lonely heart beats for you' saved her and wrapped his arms around her, her face turned red. She shook her head.

''This is not in a real world. Get your act together, Mira. Still…'' she exclaimed, 'I am finally getting married''

After submitting her assignment online, she changed into a black and white check dress and went out of her room. She saw her father watching TV and she went up to him.

''Dad''

''Oh, Mira. Where are you going?''

''I'm going to buy some new gadgets for my computer, I am getting married''

''Huh? Why am I not aware of this?''

''Dad, not in real life. I mean in the gaming world, I am getting married, so I need to prepare''

Her father sighed. The only reason why he had always allowed her to play games was because she took her studies seriously, ''Mira, marriage is a secret thing. Tell me, are you suddenly getting married because Jordan rejected you?'' he asked worriedly.

''Dad, no. Actually, I don't think I really loved Jordan. How do I put it?'' she sat next to her father as she explained, 'is like this, I was just familiar with him and just thought I liked him but I now know I never did. Marriage in the gaming world is just to help each other ascend to greater heights, we don't even know each other so, the possible of meeting someone you know online is highly unlikely. So, don't worry''

''What about that man, the one who saved you the last time? I told you to invite him over for dinner. I want to thank him for what he did for you''

''Him?'' her voice sounding sarcastic, ''I will handle it. There is no need for him to come over. I will just buy him a bag of French fries as a thank you''

''Mira, he is your savoir. You shouldn't be so stingy with someone who saved you''

''He is the owner of a company, what kind of money hasn't he seen before? Dad, let me handle it. I'm getting late, bye'' she dismissed her father and scurried off immediately afterwards. When she got outside, she took out her phone and dialled Joel's number as she drove out of the premises.
