Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

287 The Oath Stone

Selma Payne’s POV:

“A moon oath?” I was shocked. “How does it do that? I thought this was some invisible oath. Does the goddess give a gem to the person who made the oath as a witness?”

Aldrich shook his head. “Of course not. This only appeared after you reconstructed my body. I think it’s because I’ve become your believer that I can’t ask the Moon Goddess to be my witness. However, the oath didn’t dissipate. It only condensed into this diamond.”

“It’s so magical...”

I looked at the diamond on the wedding ring, observing the unusual five-colored halo it refracted under the moonlight.

After seeing this diamond, I thought it was a hint, a last gift from the goddess before she left. Recalling the past three years, Aldrich felt a little regretful. “It showed my retreat and hesitation, making me understand that these three years of suffering were my punishment for not being able to express my feelings to you. That’s why I set it into a ring to build up my courage, hoping I can one day put it in your hand.

“It’s good that fate still takes pity on me, and you still take pity on me. The night you were drunk, you said I was the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. I knew that the time I was waiting for had come. However, you didn’t say anything about it, as if everything was just a drunken joke. I wasn’t sure again.

“I’ve always had this ring on me. I want to take it out and propose to you every second I see you. But I’m too timid. I’m afraid that you wouldn’t say yes. You wouldn’t accept the shackles of marriage at such a young age. You wouldn’t want to... You wouldn’t want to wear my ring.”

“That’s not true!” I retorted softly. “Speaking of which, I’m the one who’s been feeling uneasy. I thought you thought I was joking that night!”

We looked at each other in shock and then laughed simultaneously.

“Well, it seems this is a misunderstanding.” Aldrich hugged me tightly. “Fortunately, the ending is good. You accepted my proposal, right? ”

“Of course. Look at the ring on my finger, you fool.”

“Thank you, Selma.”

“What?”

“Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for loving me. ”

“... you’re saying something nauseating again.”

The plants in the green belt danced gently with the evening wind. They covered their eyes with new green leaves and quietly observed the engaged pair hugging in the moonlit night through the gaps between the leaves.

Tonight’s moon was like an amber candy, sprinkling the moonlight made of sugar powder on the earth, making everything sweet.

When I returned to the palace, I couldn’t wait to announce the good news to my parents.

My mother was so happy that she abandoned a Queen’s restraint and etiquette and hugged me excitedly.

“I’m so happy for you, my baby!” She kissed my cheeks excitedly. “You’re about to get married and become a real adult. Oh my god!”

My mother cried emotionally. My father held ger in his arms and wiped her tears of happiness.

“Congratulations, my daughter.” My father’s calm tone also revealed an irrepressible joy. “I’m very happy to see your love with Aldrich bearing fruit. As parents, there’s nothing happier than their children finding happiness.”

He turned around and looked at Aldrich with a serious expression. “Young man, can you promise that you’ll always cherish and love my daughter and never let her be hurt in marriage?”

Aldrich immediately puffed out his chest and raised his head, replying seriously, “I will do everything in my power in exchange for Selma’s happiness, I promise you, Sir.”

My father gratifiedly looked at this adorable young man and said, “I believe in you, child. I wish you happiness.”

Regretfully, although he officially became my fiancé, Aldrich still could not stay overnight in the palace. In fact, my parents did not care about these details, but he refused. “From now on, I should be more responsible toward Selma and put an end to all frivolous behavior.”

What nonsense was this fool talking about? Was my room the only one in the palace? There were so many rooms, but he couldn’t even have a bed. It was strange for him to emphasize this.

“Perhaps we should follow the ancient tradition and not meet before marriage? ” I retorted.

“Oh, I didn’t mean it that way.” Aldrich was a little flustered. This reliable young general could easily throw his troops into chaos when he met me.

“I was just bluffing you!” I kissed him on the cheek. “Good night, my fiancé.”

In front of my parents, Aldrich was a little embarrassed, but he still hugged me. “Good night, my fiancée.”

I was destined to have a sleepless night. I excitedly ran to Dorothy’s room; she was asleep, as expected. Jordin and Mara were there as well, showing Dorothy how to do her hair tomorrow.

The moment I entered, I shouted excitedly, “He proposed to me!”

The girls were stunned by my shout and asked, “Who? What?”

“Aldrich has proposed to me!” My voice could tear the ceiling apart. “Tonight! Just now. Look at my finger!”

I showed the big diamond ring on my hand to the girls. Three seconds later, they burst into excited screams.
