Sam leaves the blacksmith after a busy day.

The hair is messy like a chicken nest, and the clothes on the body are even more sloppy, which makes people frown.

It looks like a wandering beggar, and it is extremely embarrassed.

Coupled with the fact that there is only one arm, this appearance does not give people a good sense of feeling.

But Sam didn't care, his chest still puffed out, his eyes shining.

And the residents who passed by him did not show him strange eyes, but were full of envy and respect one by one.

Because the gray garment on his body was the uniform of the tailor's shop specially designed for the blacksmith's shop.

Throughout the city of twilight, only the staff of the blacksmith shop are allowed to wear it.

It was a blacksmith's shop, the most prestigious part of the City of Dusk.

The costumes of the blacksmith are divided into three levels: apprentice, blacksmith, and more advanced blacksmith.

He was wearing the exclusive costume of the top blacksmith, a symbol of status.

In the entire Dusk City, only he and Adele owned.

Sam's pace was brisk, and he was humming an unknown light tune, which he didn't know was called, but only occasionally heard it from Sanna's mouth.

Because the girl liked it, he liked it too.

Thinking of the figure who was still waiting for him at home, his steps couldn't help but be faster.

He'd been in the blacksmith for a week, and he wanted to work on the special attack technology before going back.

But at this time I had to come out because today was special.

Shanna's Birthday ......

In fact, he didn't know what Shanna's birthday was, and he didn't even know his own.

The reason why today is a birthday is because he regarded the day the two met as a common birthday.

For him, it was even more important than his birthday.

Because on the day he met Sanna, there was light in his gloomy life.

The appearance of the girl gave him, who was sinking in the dark, an expectation, a hope, and the strength to live.

To outsiders, it seems that he has been taking care of Shanna, but only he knows.

It is the girl who can no longer see the world, supporting him, and the other party is his reliance.

The light in his eyes became more and more gentle.

Think of a few months ago, a disabled man with only one arm left, carrying a blind girl across the desert of death...... It's crazy and suffocating.

But, for her sake, he was not afraid of any difficulties.

Thankfully, this choice was made.

Thinking of this, Sam had a smile on his face that radiated from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for his decision, he wouldn't have been discovered by the City of Dusk, and he wouldn't have come to this great city, let alone become a respected top blacksmith.

Lord Richard......

He whispered this title in his heart, and his eyes showed a hot light.

It was the lord of the realm who gave him everything.

He will never forget......

His soul belongs to his own girl, but his life already belongs to the city.

If necessary, he will not hesitate to stand on the city wall and give everything to protect the city and Lord Richard.

"Sam, come back so early today?"

A crisp voice with a hint of surprise interrupted Sam's thoughts.

Subconsciously turned her head to look, and a girl with a beautiful figure appeared in front of her.

The other party was wearing a pure white dress, and a pair of big blue eyes seemed to be carved from gemstones, which made people tremble.

His face is delicate and perfect, and his temperament is elegant and lively, even if the aesthetic is harsh, it is difficult to find any defects.

Sam didn't dare to look at it more, avoiding the other party's gaze slightly unnaturally, and said in a somewhat stiff voice.

"Miss Helena, good day......"

"It's Shanna's birthday, so I'm back a little early."

Hearing this, the smile on the girl's face faded slightly, and she smiled reluctantly.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect Miss Shanna to be today's birthday."

As he spoke, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Then, I'll go back, so I won't bother you."

Sam sighed and nodded stunned.

"Okay, Miss Helena, goodbye."

Seeing that the other party didn't open her mouth to stop her, the girl lowered her head and turned around and left sullenly.

Sam didn't think much of it, regained his happiness, and stepped forward to go home.

But before he could go far, a middle-aged man with a big belly and an obese body stopped him.

The other party was wearing a black robe, and he looked quite rich.

Sam chuckled when he saw someone coming.

"Good day, Uncle Odeh."

The middle-aged man named Odd laughed.

"Good day, Sam."

As he spoke, he glanced around.

"Didn't you meet Helena just now?"

Sam gestured in the other direction.

"Yes, Miss Helena has gone back."

The middle-aged man's face showed subtlety.

"You guys, didn't talk?"

Sam shook his head.

"I've already said hello, and it's Shanna's birthday, so I'm in a hurry to go back......"

"Understandable."

As he spoke, he looked Sam up and down a few times, although the other party's clothes were full of dust, but his high-pitched spirit was not to be underestimated.

After thinking about it, he stepped forward, approached Sam, and lowered his voice a little.

"Sam, what I told you before, how did you think about it?"

"Helena is a famous girl in the city of twilight, her appearance and upbringing are the best choice, and there are many young men who want to pursue......"

Sam shook his head decisively.

"Thank you for your attention, Uncle Odeh, I already have Shanna."

The middle-aged man said disapprovingly.

"I didn't let you give up on Shanna, Shanna is a good boy, and after you marry Helena, you can still be with her."

Said tsundere.

"Man, what's wrong with marrying a few wives?!"

"Especially a man as good as you, even more so."

"You are the pillar of the blacksmith's shop, even Lord Richard treats you differently, and the future potential is limitless! You can't marry only Shanna in your life, you have to marry other girls, right? ”

"In that case, why can't you marry Helena back?"

"If you're worried that Shanna won't agree, it's okay, I'll help you go, trust me, she'll understand......"

was robbed by the other party, Sam looked slightly stunned.

After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head at the middle-aged man.

"Uncle Odd...... I don't think you know me. ”

"There are many, many good-looking, smart, and beautiful girls in this world, but that has nothing to do with me."

"All I need is Shanna."

"With her, it's enough."

As he spoke, his face was full of happiness.

"Shanna, it's my everything."

"In this world, there is no girl who can compare with her, there is no ......"

The middle-aged man's expression finally stiffened.

Some looked at him incomprehensibly.

Looking at each other, at this moment, he saw an incomparably firm love for a person from the other party's gaze.

The mountains and seas collapsed and could not be moved.

The middle-aged man, who didn't believe that anyone could refuse this temptation, fell silent.

After a long time, he smiled a little wryly.

"Maybe I'm underestimating you, Sam."

Reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Shanna is a good girl, and it must be a blessing from the goddess that he can get your favor."

Sam laughed and shook his head.

"No, Uncle Odeh, to be with Shanna...... It's my pleasure. ”

"Without her, perhaps I would have been a rotting corpse."

"She's my light."

A moment later, the middle-aged man watched the brisk figure disappear at the end of the street, with some envy in his eyes.

I must be very happy to love someone so firmly.

After the other person's figure disappeared, he lowered his head and pulled up his sleeve a little, and a crystal bracelet full of impurities was tied to his wrist.

There was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes......

——

"Sanna, Sam will definitely be a big man in the future."

"He may marry you as her wife, but she may not have only one wife."

"Those big people, who doesn't own how many women?"

"And, in your case, being with him will only delay him......"

"Sam is now the top man in the City of Dusk, and he often doesn't come back for days during this time, doesn't that mean anything?"

"The bigger the status gap between you, the harder it will be for the relationship to sustain."

"Shanna, maybe you haven't noticed it, Sam has gradually forgotten about you, he has a better life, and he won't put you first anymore...... You don't matter that much to him anymore. ”

"And you know, he met a girl named Helena some time ago, and that girl liked him very much."

"She has bright eyes, she can play an instrument called the krona, she sings beautifully, and her father is a big man in the back office."

"They are the most suitable ......"

In the bright room, a young man in his early twenties was looking emotionally at the girl sitting on a stool with no focus in her pupils.

The boy was tall and had shiny blonde hair.

His eyes were full of fascination.

He accentuated his tone a bit, wanting to increase his persuasiveness.

"I'm different, Shanna, I just want to have you alone in my life."

"I swear to the Goddess that your image has been etched in my soul from the day I saw you...... You are the only love of my life. ”

"I've become an employee of the food workshop, and I'll work hard to earn a lot of money to help you treat your eyes, and I'll be there for you every day after work."

"There will never be a situation where you will be left out in the cold for many days!"

"Shanna......

Listening to the boy's words, Shanna, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raised her head and "looked" at the figure in front of her seriously.

The tone is firm.

"Daniel, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being direct...... Sam wouldn't be the kind of person you say. ”

"In the future, please don't say Sam's bad in front of me, I don't like it."

"Sam is my lover and my only one."

"I can't fall in love with anyone else in this life, no, in the next life, except for him."

"Daniel, for the sake of the fact that we've known each other for a few years, you've helped me and Sam a lot, and today I'm going to act as if nothing happened, so let's go."

The boy reluctantly raised his voice.

"Shanna, don't you understand? Love is mutual! Sam may be holding hands with Helena at the moment watching the sunrise and sunset outside the city! ”

"Otherwise, why didn't you come back for a week?"

"Although the work of the blacksmith shop is busy, it is impossible not to find a single time!"

"Today, it's your birthday!"

"I can always be with you......"

The girl's face turned a little cold.

"Daniel, I warn you one last time, don't say anything bad about Sam again!!"

"You don't need to worry about how Sam does things!"

"Even if it's just a month, a year, or even never come back, it's impossible for me to accept you."

"I love Sam more than my life and soul!"

Looking at the unwavering face, the boy's heart felt like a knife.

His lips opened and closed several times, but he could no longer speak.

In the end, the whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, sighed, staggered, and left abruptly.

The girl ignored the other party's departure, still thinking about her boy.

"Sam must have been busy these days, I made his favorite honey bread today...... I'll let Aunt Shanna take me to the blacksmith later~"

Thinking that they would be able to see each other later, a bright smile immediately appeared on the girl's face.

Just fumbling for a moment to get up.

Babble~

The sound of the door being pushed open sounded, and the sound of stepping ~ a familiar footstep came into the ears.

The girl showed a little surprise on her face, and subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction where the sound was made.

"Sam, you're back~"

The tone was indescribably excited.

The girl who hadn't been too angry just now, at this moment, it was like the statue had been given life, full of smart breath.

The air seems to be filled with the smell of spring blossoms.

It's fascinating.

Sam looked at the girl he loved, and a big smile appeared on his face.

Step forward and take out a white bouquet from behind your back with a close hand.

One hand leads the other to take it.

"Happy birthday, Shanna."

The girl held the flower in her hand, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers, his face was full of smiles, full of surprise.

"White Moon Flower? Sam, where did you get the white moonflower? It's a desert here......"

Sam laughed.

"Do you like it?"

The girl nodded fiercely, happily holding it in her arms, and was reluctant to let go of her hands.

Just as she wanted to say something, suddenly, the girl felt that the figure in front of her seemed to be squatting on the ground, and one of her hands was held by the other party.

Just as he was wondering, a mellow and gentle voice sounded.

"Shanna, today is our birthday, and it's the day we meet."

"This day is like a new life for me, and it is because of your presence that my life has been given a new meaning."

"I hope that in the coming days, I will always be by your side, caring for you, caring for you, and loving you."

"I hope to be your husband and the father of our children."

"I hope that when I am eighty years old and gray-haired, I can still hold your hand."

"Shanna, my dear, I hope you can marry me......"

When the words fell, the girl only felt the coldness of the ring coming from her ring finger.

At this moment, an indescribable sense of happiness surged into my heart from the bottom of my heart.

Tears slipped down uncontrollably.

There was a bit of uncontrollable trembling in his voice.

Sam ...... You, are you serious? ”

Sam's tone was solemn and fiery.

"I've never been so serious in my life, would you like to be my bride?"

"Woooooooooo......oo I, I'm willing to ......"

The girl couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart anymore, choked up, pulled the boy up, and hugged the other party in her arms.

Smelling the breath of the other party, at this moment, she felt that even if she died, it was worth it.

Sam whispered in the girl's ear with a trembling voice.

"Shanna, I was scared when we were trapped in the Desert of Death, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that when I die, I have not yet made you my wife."

"I was thinking that if we could get out of the Desert of Death alive, I would definitely propose to you right away!"

"Thankfully, by the grace of the Goddess, Lord Richard pulled us back from the clutches of death and brought us to the City of Twilight."

"Later, the Lord gave me great strength and gave me everything...... Now, I finally have the ability to take care of you. ”

"I've been thinking about this moment since the day I came to the City of Dusk."

"The wish has finally been fulfilled, and I am willing to die at this moment."

"Shanna, I love you."

The girl's heart was drunk when she heard the most straightforward and fiery words in her heart.

Choked up and excited, he was no longer able to utter complete words.

The only thing that could be responded was to hold the boy in his arms harder, as if to rub him into his body.

After a long time, he sobbed and whispered.

"Sam, we will have a future, you still have to play for the city of twilight, and you have to make greater achievements to repay Lord Richard."

"We're going to live well together."

"Live until the day when the city of twilight becomes the pearl of the desert, and live until the day when we can no longer walk......"

Sam hugged the girl tightly.

"Well, we have to live well."

"The city of twilight has not yet become an immortal city, Lord Richard, has not yet become the master of the desert of death......"

"We have not repaid the kindness we owe......"
