19.

The warmth of the sun started to seep in. This time, on the same staircase, but Arlen City's street. The morning light roused Mr. Cyclone from his dreams. "Oh... darling~" "What!?" Sonja, blushing, was the first scenery that Mr. Cyclone saw for the day. "Who... who is your darling?" She turned her face away completely, with a different reaction from her dream just now. "...Oh!? Is it true?" Suddenly waking up, Mr. Cyclone almost tumbled down the stairs. "Dar... darling, I'm here to pick you up!" Wiping the drool from his mouth, but Mr. Cyclone's mind was still not fully awake, and his speech was incoherent. "So, who is your wife?" "Damn it!" Sonja said angrily, but her face turned as red as a tomato. "Oh? Oh!! It's, it's Miss Sonja!!" Mr. Cyclone pretended to be adorable, laughing foolishly. "...You were busy last night~" The plan last night spread throughout Arlen City, and as the leader of the Knightly Order of this city, Sonja naturally knew about it. "Yes~ darling, I was busy to death last night." As he kept talking, it became more smooth, and this term of endearment also aroused a captivating expression from Sonja, which made Mr. Cyclone couldn't help but want to tease the woman in front of him with the term "wife." As Mr. Cyclone speculated, Sonja blushed a little at first, but after desperately holding it back, she could still continue the conversation. "A... as the Hero of Arlen, please mind your words... it's almost time to meet His Majesty... and... don't use that title to call me in the royal palace." While saying this seriously, she somehow slightly retreated in the face of Mr. Cyclone's bad grin. As a result, this made Mr. Cyclone want to continue teasing. "Hey~ does that mean I can use it outside the royal palace? Darling~" Her face turned red again, Sonja didn't say anything and directly turned her back. "... Let's go." With a simple sentence, it meant something completely different in Mr. Cyclone's mind. "Oh~ don't object~" Sonja stopped and turned around, shouting loudly at Mr. Cyclone. "I... I don't have a husband yet!!!!!"" Not only Mr. Cyclone, but the people on the street were all dumbfounded. "Husband...?! " "This... this... this..." With a cry, all the passersby's gazes were focused on Sonja. Sonja's hands started to tremble, and her face truly turned as red as a tomato. Then she turned around and hurriedly walked away. Seeing this, Mr. Cyclone couldn't help but smirk. He thought, if he could tease Sonja like this every morning, how joyful it would be. Immediately, he stood up and followed Sonja. "So, how about becoming my wife? Then Miss Sonja will have a husband~" Mr. Cyclone suggested with a smile. But Sonja just lowered her head, leading Mr. Cyclone to the royal palace without saying a word. In Arlen City, there was a canal built by human hands. This canal would run through various parts of the city, even circling the outskirts of the royal palace. Lowering the city bridge, a massive castle appeared before Mr. Cyclone's eyes. "Damn it~ It's so big~" "Listen, a minister will question your intentions later. Mr. Cyclone only needs to answer what I said yesterday at that time." "Good~ good~ I'll do as instructed by my wife~ darling~" "This... this is a play that His Majesty planned, okay?!" Suddenly, Mr. Cyclone extended his hand and gently cupped Sonja's chin with his fingertip."Trust me, no problem~" This action made Sonja's face turn red again in a complete mess. Sonja couldn't say anything, she just lifted her right hand and pointed to the guide inside the city gate. "Oh~ I'm coming~"
