A Promise Worth More Than Eternity
Was she really...
...that important to him?
The thought made her heartbeat quicken.
Her beautiful face slowly flushed pink.
She raised her eyes and looked at Leon.
His purple eyes remained calm.
There was no trace of regret.
No calculation.
No expectation of repayment.
Only warmth.
Her chest tightened.
Never in all her years had anyone treated her this way.
She had entered the Martial Emperor Tomb seeking fortune.
Yet instead...
She had met a man willing to place the world itself into her hands.
A treasure capable of changing one's destiny...
He offered it to her as naturally as breathing.
How could she deny the sincerity behind those actions?
Her fingers unconsciously clutched the corner of her sleeve.
"Oh..."
She gently poked her soft lips with a fair finger, completely at a loss for words.
She was touched.
She was surprised.
And somewhere deep inside...
She was happier than she dared admit.
