Kevin then opened the holographic screen of his System and focused on the ’Inventory’ menu.

Well, when he has the time, he will add the potions, the talismans, and the gold coins he had earned from the boxes and from the magic bags of the dead knights into his inventory.
Right now, what he wanted was the boxes, so he focused on them, and they appeared on the ground in front of them. Then he took the high grade box out of his magic bag and looked at Axel, who still looked shocked.
Axel regained his senses and said to him, "I knew there was a possibility that we would receive a legendary grade box again, but I was hoping without really believing it. Go ahead, open it, babe!"
Kevin smiled at him; he was also very curious about this legendary grade box, so he opened it first as Axel had asked him to do. It was identical to the one they received last time; it still looked like it had been cut from a diamond, and its size was bigger than the high grade box. He read the information to Axel.
[LEGENDARY GRADE BOX]
- Magical crystal legendary grade, small size.
- Trinium high grade 1.5 kg
- Darkness talisman paper medium size × 10: contains 5,000 particles of darkness inside.
- Darkness talisman paper large size × 10: contains 10,000 particles of darkness inside.
Axel saw that Kevin looked disappointed, but he didn’t understand why, so he asked him, "These are great rewards, babe, why are you looking disappointed?"
Kevin then told him something he hadn’t expected: "Everything inside this box is mainly for me; there’s nothing interesting for you in there."
Axel laughed out loud and said, "Babe, how can you say that? Do you remember what Trinium is? And what about that magical crystal of legendary grade? Can you just imagine its worth?"
Axel, who was standing right next to him, took him in his arms and said, "Without you, I would never have been able to obtain all these treasures. I would never have known either that items could have stats, and before meeting you, I was in a hurry to leave the Sun Sect. Not because I don’t feel good with them; they are really like family to me, but because I couldn’t make any progress anymore. I wanted to find someone who could continue to teach me new techniques and help me become stronger.
And I found you. In just 6 days, my life has completely changed for the better. Never forget that, no matter what people may say, you are the one and only one for me."
He kissed him and couldn’t help but add, playfully, "Who could compete with such an exceptional assassin who is now in a mage’s body and has a System that will help us become stronger and stronger?"
Kevin laughed, and Axel asked him seriously again, "Babe, you didn’t answer me earlier. When we were inside the boss room... Are you really ready to give yourself to me?"
Kevin was caught off guard by this change of topic, and he then stammered, "Axel... I don’t really know if I’m ready... But just now, I probably would have let you do whatever you wanted to me... So, I guess I must be more or less ready."
Axel’s smile widened, and Kevin put two fingers on his lips to prevent him from kissing him. He suddenly began to blush, but he had to know if Axel was really serious with him: "Will you take your responsibilities if I ever give myself to you?"
Axel removed Kevin’s fingers from his mouth and asked him to make sure he was thinking of the same thing, "Are you talking about marriage?"
Kevin nodded and explained, "In my world, two men couldn’t get married together, but here it’s different. I’m not asking you to marry me now, but I want to know if you are thinking about it or not at all."
Kevin knew that some people stayed together without getting married; he would be okay if Axel didn’t want to, but he still wanted to know.
Axel answered him honestly, "I had never thought about getting married before as I had never been interested in anyone before, but if that’s what you want, we can apply for it when we go to the capital."
Axel saw that Kevin was stunned, so he said, "It will be necessary to wait until you are 21 years old for our marriage to be legal, but until then, the application form the authorities of the capital will give us will be considered a promise of engagement.
And with that, you will officially become my man and my future husband. So, what do you think about it?"
Kevin opened his eyes wide in astonishment; he hadn’t expected this. "Are you sure of yourself? I don’t want you to regret it later."
Axel then said to him, "Well, the selections for the capital’s annual tournament will take place next month, and this tournament will start exactly one month later. That leaves us two months to decide whether we still want to do it or not... But, if you still want to marry me in two months, we can go and apply for it."
Axel added to make him understand that he was dead serious about it, "The only thing I regret is that the body you are in is only 18 years old, because once we are legally married, you will never be able to escape me; you will be bound to me forever."
Kevin was a little taken aback by this statement, so he quickly delved into his memory of this world. Indeed, divorce did not exist here; once married, it was for life. And apparently, marriage was something very sacred here; it wasn’t just a piece of paper being signed. Some very ancient magic was used to bind the souls of the couple together, so that was probably what Axel was talking about.
He didn’t really have much more information about this binding ceremony, but he had two months to figure out exactly what it meant to bind two souls together.
Kevin smiled at him; what he felt right now was difficult to describe, so he just said to him, "Okay, let’s do that then!"
