My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"Should I believe you?" Hui retorted.

"Hui, I really didn't lie to you this time. No, I've never lied to you. I really didn't know anything back then, and I really have already taken care of Maeda's situation. I even had the abortion... Can you believe me one more time!" Kouta pleaded.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

"What will it take for you to believe me?" Kouta asked.

Upon hearing this, Hui remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "Kengtai, what do you think would happen if a person lost their heart?"

“A person without a heart is naturally dead!” Kouta answered without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Hui understood; she knew that Kouta's demi-human abilities had never been activated.

Otherwise, for ordinary people, a person without a heart will die, but for demi-humans, it is resurrection!

Hui then asked, "Do you truly love me?"

Kōta completely misunderstood what Hui meant. What would happen if a person didn't have a heart? Do you really love me?

However, he followed his heart, looked at Hui with deep affection, gently stroked her forehead with his palm, and said firmly, "Yes!"

A smile appeared on Hui's lips: "Alright, as long as you dig out your heart and give it to me, I'll forgive you!"

Kōta's hand, which was stroking Hui's, froze.

The room remained quiet for a long time.

Kōta fell silent. For a moment, he really wanted to cut open his chest and take out his heart to tell Hui his true feelings.

But... at this moment, he thought of many things. After all, if he gave his heart to Hui, he would die!

dead!

This is a sacred word, an inescapable destiny for humankind.

Could he die for Hui?

He felt he could do it.

But... is it really time yet?

This is just Hui talking nonsense in the heat of the moment; it hasn't really come to the point of a life-or-death confrontation.

That's what Kouta thought.

"Hui, stop joking, we—"

"A joke? I'm not joking! Didn't you say you truly love me? Well then, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to dig out your heart and see it!" Hui said.

"Hui, stop fooling around!"

"You don't believe me?" Hui asked, echoing the question Kouta had just asked.

"I—" Kouta didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally said, "What do you want from me to forgive me?"

"I've made myself very clear. Give me your heart, and I'll forgive you."

"Hui, please stop making trouble. I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't do it again..."

"Give me your heart! If you can't, get out!" Hui said coldly, then turned over and huddled under the covers, leaving Kōta with only her back to him.

……

Seeing that Hui was completely unmoved by reason, Kōta sighed helplessly. He felt that he couldn't rush things and had to take a long-term approach.

Finally, he straightened Hui's blankets, said "I'll come see you again tomorrow," and left.

After Kota left.

Faint sobs could be heard coming from under the covers...

Chapter 343 Proposal

Time flies, a few days have passed, and it's almost December.

Winter came early this year.

Generally speaking, winter in Aomori City lasts from December to February. It's only the end of November now, but it already feels as cold as it would be in December.

But for Hui, it wasn't a big deal.

Hui has already dropped out of school and spends most of her time in her room, never going out.

Today, Hui was wearing a fluffy sleeveless nightgown in her room, walking barefoot on the warm floor covered with a blanket.

Hui poured herself a cup of tea at the bedside table. But as she raised her arm to drink, she accidentally bumped into the two little white rabbits, causing them to bounce and her body to tremble slightly. She almost dropped the cup.

Hui, in a fit of pique, pressed the two little white rabbits down a bit, but didn't dare to use too much force, since it would hurt her.

After disciplining the little white rabbit, Hui turned her gaze to her waist.

I'm three months pregnant now, and my lower abdomen is starting to bulge slightly, like a little mound.

Of course, Hui already has a slim waist, so as long as she doesn't wear tight clothes, you can't tell she's pregnant even in regular clothes.

I gently stroked the small bump and could feel a slight pulsation.

Hui's face rarely showed a smile.

Although I have been particularly unlucky since I became pregnant with this child, it seems as if all the bad luck in my life has been concentrated in just a few months.

Hui sometimes wondered if God didn't want this child to come into this world.

However, even if God prevents this child from being born, as a mother, I must ensure that he or she comes into this world safely!

……

While Hui was lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to her, downstairs in her apartment, Soto was looking at Yuuhito with a troubled expression, her brows furrowed.

The royal prince, a big shot you usually only see on TV, a true nobleman, was sitting properly in front of me, and was very respectful.

As a Japanese person, he should have been flattered by this honor.

It felt like the top leader of the country came to your house for tea one day.

This should have been a happy occasion.

However, Caodeng is not happy at all now.

Because... this guy in front of me, the first thing he said when we met was: Please marry your daughter to me...

Soto silently looked at Hisahito in front of him.

To be honest, his first reaction when he heard what the other person said was to refuse!

Haven't you ever seen a pig run, but haven't you ever eaten pork?

Although royalty may seem glamorous, what is life really like underneath? Aren't movies and TV shows detailed enough about it?

Cao Deng naturally didn't want his daughter to live a life that was anything but happy.

“Uncle, I truly love Hui. If Hui marries me, I will definitely give her a happy life that all women in the world would envy!” Youren said.

Grass lamp quietly listened to Yujin finish speaking.

He politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your interest in my daughter, but she is still young and not at the age to be talking about marriage. In any case, it should be after she goes to university."

Upon hearing this, Youren smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you are mistaken. Things are not like they used to be. Late marriage is no longer encouraged. There are many people who marry younger than Hui, such as my cousin, who married my uncle when she was only 15, and—"

At this point, Yujin suddenly paused, glanced at Soto, lowered his voice, and continued, "Besides, Uncle, Kei is no longer a child, but a mother. No matter what, a child needs a father, right?"

Upon hearing this, Soto's pupils dilated, and he stared intently at Yuujin: "Now that you know, don't you mind?"

"It would be a lie to say I don't mind at all, but... more than minding, I'm willing to walk into the future with her. Moreover, I will treat this child as my own, and I guarantee it in the name of my royal family!" Hisahito solemnly promised, his eyes revealing sincerity.

"What do you like about my daughter?" Cao Deng asked.

A happy expression appeared on Yujin's face, as if he was reminiscing: "Every little thing I did with Kei is etched in my memory. Being with Kei makes me want to make this moment last forever!"

Hisahito's eyes were filled with deep affection.

Kusaburo was very familiar with this expression; he had looked just like that when he was with Misa, a typical sign of being deeply in love.

Seeing Hisahito's affectionate expression, Soubi wavered.

When he was a prosecutor, he came into contact with all sorts of people, including some scions of wealthy families. He knew that their values ​​were different from ordinary people, and that in their eyes, love was always just an added bonus.

Getting them to truly fall in love is harder than climbing to heaven.

I just didn't expect to run into him today.

The grass lamp seemed a little confused.

Emotionally, he didn't want his daughter to marry Hisahito, but rationally, he felt that it would be a good match for Hui to marry Hisahito.

After all, marrying Hisahito would at least ensure that she would be financially secure in the future.

In the adult world, material things, especially money, are not to be underestimated.

Making a living in this world is extremely difficult. This difficulty can turn all vows of eternal love into nothingness, and can make all lofty ambitions falter due to the mundane realities of daily life.

So Soto knew that while her daughter's marriage to Hisahito might have some drawbacks, at least she would be financially secure.

Moreover, generally speaking, marrying into a wealthy family is a chance to rise to the top in one step.

This should be an opportunity that ordinary people like them dream of.

Should he... really stop it?

The grass lantern was lost in thought.

After a long silence, he asked, "But doesn't your royal family value bloodlines the most? How can your relatives tolerate this child entering the royal family?"

Yuji noticed that Soubi was somewhat tempted, so he pressed on, saying, "Uncle, you can rest assured about this. My father passed away a month ago, and I have been in complete control of my lineage ever since. Even the current emperor has no right to interfere in my family affairs. Furthermore, I will publicly declare that this child is my child."

After listening to Yujin's words, Soto remained silent for a long time.

He had seen the news about the Emperor's death, but he only paid attention to it as a hot topic. He never thought that his ordinary family would be involved with the royal family.

At this moment, Misa placed a plate of snacks on the table and handed them tea that she had brewed.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Yu-Jin said, accepting the gift.
