☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Unknowingly, Klin finds himself walking in the direction of the villa. The Knight turns down two streets and reaches his new home. He stands thoughtfully at the doorstep for a minute, then, with an effort of will, breaks the stream of thoughts and goes inside in search of Saneksa.

- The Head? What is she doing here? She doesn't seem particularly devout, Bea murmured, watching Erefir with her eyes.
- I would say, quite the opposite. If you had seen her face when I suggested taking a priest into the team... She didn't say anything out loud, but it was as if I had made her eat a lemon, Gion chuckled.
- Well, that's something, Bea shook her head.
The couple walks up to the Patriarch.
- Eugene, Bea nods reservedly, then breaks into a familiar smile from ear to ear, - congratulations on your new appointment!
- We are very happy for you, Gion smiles less broadly, but just as happily.
- Yes. And thank you for your morning service too... Is that why Rinze doesn't whisper in my head anymore? If we had known, we would have woken up earlier to come 😅
- Well, now we know, and we hope to make up for it. It's good that there are people who protect our world from the influence of the celestials... Especially such a one, Gion nods towards his companion's head.
- I completely agree! And please accept our congratulations on your recent wedding! Sorry that we came empty-handed 😅 But we are very happy for you and for Bronislava!
Gion nodded in agreement, fully supporting Bea.
- By the way, about the wedding... We came to you for the same reason, the adventuress takes her beloved by the hand. - Gion and I are already like husband and wife, in a way. And some time ago, we decided to formalize our union before Anuzish and her children. We even managed to exchange vows... Against the backdrop of the stress from the fire 😅 But that is clearly not enough, and we are going to have a proper wedding. Over the past few months, I have rethought a lot in life and in people. In the past, I did many terrible things that I now deeply regret, but recently I firmly decided to embark on a path of redemption and become a new, better person. It's hard, I almost regretted my decision a couple of times, she winced, remembering the fire that she was sure had happened because of her, - but I already understood. I like being a good person and doing good deeds. My soul is calm for the first time in my life. And I don't know if I could find peace of mind without Gion. We have been through so much together, and his love and support played a significant role in the changes that have happened to me. I don't know what I did in my life to deserve such a gift from the gods, but maybe... They sent him to me to lead me on the right path. I can't live without him.
- I can only agree, Gion shrugged. - Bea owes me so much. She saved me from a fate that was worse than death, and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. Thanks to her, I feel like a normal person again. Gods, I feel like a much more normal person than I ever was in my entire past life! If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be alive anymore. She has done so much for me, she has put so much effort and patience into me... She is my whole life. Bea, you say that the gods sent you to me... But maybe it's the other way around? Maybe they sent me to you to save me from the hell that my life was before I met you?
- Well, I'm quite the savior, Bea snorted.
- Don't argue, Gion interrupted her sternly, pointing his finger at her, - I know better. But, continuing my thought, he turned to Eugene again, - I am glad that Bea and my paths have crossed, and I want to bind us forever with unbreakable bonds before the gods. No less than she does. Maybe even more.
- That's it, Bea sighed, - we want to know when we can schedule the ceremony and what is needed for this.

- It's been a while, evening is not far off. It was obvious that something like that wouldn't kill you, but I'm still surprised why you got hurt. Don't you have a dozen or so different things with you for all occasions?
