"Am I not beautiful enough?"
Arza asked, her crimson eyes steady on the boy who had just proposed to her.
She didn't understand the emotion behind the question because she didn't understand emotions in the first place but she knew one thing.
An engagement, for demons, wasn't something done lightly.It was a once-in-a-lifetime bond and something really important.
So she should have considered it more carefully.
The boy had already offered a price far beyond what was normal. Twice the chocolates from yesterday's deal. He even agreed instantly when she pushed it to three times.
And yet…
There was still something she didn't understand.
From what she had heard earlier… The boy claimed to be from a future where she was his wife.
He spoke with conviction, acted with certainty, risked things she couldn't measure and didn't even understand… all because of something she had never learned to feel.
So she asked him for the one thing she lacked.
To Understand emotions.
