☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Kicking back and relaxing for the rest of Saturday, Guyon pondered life and relationships. He often forgot the true essence of his relationship with Beata, especially lately. He didn't feel any particular pressure or coercion from her, and it seemed that if he decided to run away, she would argue, threaten, but ultimately let him go. And yet... He didn't want to leave her. He could no longer imagine his life any other way. Guyon tried for a long time to understand why, but only what happened on Thursday gave him clarity. He almost had to lose Beata before it finally dawned on him. Well, who's the idiot here, huh? Guyon struggled with himself for a while and wondered if he should confess to his mistress, partner, friend, and lover. She would definitely laugh at him and not let him live peacefully with it. And yet... He spent the whole night remembering all her hints, casually thrown phrases, her behavior, her threats... And decided that he had nothing to lose. But in reality, he didn't have enough resolve. When Guyon steered the conversation in the right direction, his tongue got stuck in his throat, and he could only utter incoherent, insane bleating. It wasn't even half as good as the beautiful confessions he had read in books and seen in the theater. But that was enough. Moreover, Beata made it clear that his feelings were mutual. For the rest of the day, Guyon couldn't get rid of the silly smile on his face. Now, he was officially bound to Beata by ties stronger than those of slavery. His heart will never be free again.
