Chapter 938 Let's Spend Time Together
-----
Having finished our big meal, we walked through the beach while drinking ice cream. The sun was slowly setting, and the beautiful sunset was really something else, and quite romantic.
Aquarina held my hand as she glanced the sunset at my side, while our toes felt the warm sand below our feet, the cold waves of the sea sometimes catching our legs and making us feel slightly refreshed, it was awfully hot today.
The rest of my friends were enjoying it at their own pace, Lara and Luck, and Mist and Zack were kind of like us right now… I guess it was really quite a romantic scene.
"The capital is really beautiful." Said Aquarina. "Though I wonder why it is so close to the port?"
"I've heard that's because this is how the King can protect the entire frontier. After all, the reason why people from other continents were able to enter was because he opened them up." I explained.
"So like gates? And how does he even do that?" Aquarina was interested.
"I don't know the details myself, but I think there might be some huge monoliths or something underwater, and he controls them with his amazing magic power." I explained. "Though… Well, as I said, I'm not too sure how it works."
"Wow…" Aquarina was sure amazed. "I wonder if I could one day protect the country too, I can control water, right? Maybe one day… if I can control the entire seas, I could protect everyone?"
"Hahaha, that's a bit exaggerated, you shouldn't feel forced to protect everyone either." I smiled. "Eventually, people might think your protection is too oppressive, and grow tired of it… It is better to concentrate on a smaller scale, than anything. But I'm sure your powers would be able to protect those you love."
"Hmm!" Aquarina nodded. "You're right… I don't want to use these powers to harm innocents either… I want to protect people. Back then, I really went mad, and I could almost have done something I would always regret. I've been thinking about this…"
"So that was it, huh?" I said. "Don't worry, as long as you learned about it and just don't repeat it in the future, it should be fine. Your mom did well in reprimanding you for that too, but at the same time, I think you're beginning to understand what responsibilities truly are if you have already accepted the fact you're going away for a while…"
"Sylphy…" Aquarina felt surprised by my words. "You might be right… Yeah." She gripped her fists. "Though, still… I'm sorry. What I did was dumb and I kind of ended making you feel embarrassed too, right?"
"Okay, your apologies are accepted." I giggled. "Don't feel so guilty, it's alright. Let's just enjoy the moment, dummy."
"Fine, then I'm going to kiss you all over your face, hehe." Aquarina said, as we sat down over the beach's sand and kissed for a while…
I never get tired of her kisses, each one is a bliss that makes me want to hug her and love her even more, honestly…
There was some other people in the beach too, maybe they recognized who I was too, but I couldn't care less if they saw me making out with my girlfriend.
They can spread all the rumors they want…
"I know there are still a few months left before departing but… I'm going to miss your lips." She said, smiling at me coquettishly.
"Me too." I caressed her face.
"Let's make sure we kiss a lot before we depart! I'm going to give you two years' worth of them!" She said, kissing my neck and rubbing her nose on my nape. "Mooch, mooch~"
"Hehehe, that tickles~" I couldn't help but giggle at her teasing.
We played around the beach for a while, we ended even bathing on the sea a bit, but it was already night, we walked back to the castle where we took a bath and had a big dinner with my family again.
Mom said we could stay for a whole week here, but that she had to go back home tomorrow because she had to maintain everything… We ended accepting that offer, because not only I wanted to enjoy this time with my friends, but I wanted to make memories with Aquarina we'll never forget.
"Alright then, make sure to behave with your grandfather and the rest of your family too." My mother said. "Allan, you can stay with them if you want to."
"I can? Ah, well, sure honey. Though I'll miss you…" Dad said.
"It's fine, you can go with mom too." I smiled. "We'll be fine, don't worry."
"You too mom, dad!" Aquarina said. "Just go back home if you want!"
"R-Really? Is it okay?" Her father, Shade, wondered, a bit worried to leave his daughter behind.
"It's fine, let the girl have her week with her girlfriend." Nepheline smiled. "I bet they want to make a lot of memories!"
"Yeah!" Aquarina said. "Don't worry about it daddy!"
"Hmm… Fine." Shade sighed. "But make sure to behave too. Especially because this is not your family, so you can't act cocky nor spoiled. Be respectful with everyone here as well."
"Yeah, you'll have to promise us that at least." Nepheline nodded.
"Sure, I'll behave and be a very good young noble lady!" Aquarina said.
"Fufu, so cute." Grandma giggled. "Don't worry you two, we'll take good care of little Aquarina. I'm so happy?she and Sylphy are girlfriends too, I wonder if they'll get married in the future? Ahh, so cute! Imagining the two girls grown up in bride clothes… Let's make sure to have a big party, honey."
"Hmm, we'll sure make something big." The King said with an expressionless face.
They were surprisingly open-minded about our relationship, but I guess it is because of the King's younger brother that they have grown to accept same sex relationships quite quickly…
"Aren't they two cuties when together?" Arafunn giggled. "Make sure to build many beautiful memories, Sylphy, Aquarina. I'll be cheering for you two!"
"Thank you uncle!" I smiled.
