As the festivities reached their peak, Adrian sought out Evelyn, his heart pounding with nervous anticipation. He found her standing on a balcony, her eyes fixed on the stars that dotted the dark canvas above. Approaching her, Adrian took a deep breath to steady his nerves. "Evelyn, my love," he began, his voice filled with a mixture of love and excitement. "There is something I wish to ask you, something that has been on my mind for centuries."Evelyn turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What is it, Adrian? You have my undivided attention."Adrian took her hand in his, his voice filled with sincerity. "Evelyn, from the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were the one who would forever hold my heart. You have been my partner, my confidante, and my rock through the ages. And now, I wish to make our bond official." Evelyn's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and joy washing over her. "Adrian, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Adrian smiled, his gaze unwavering. "Yes, my love. Evelyn, will you marry me?" Evelyn's heart swelled with love and happiness. She had dreamed of this moment, of a future where they would be bound not only by their immortal love but also by the sacred vows of marriage. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she nodded, her voice filled with emotion. "Yes, Adrian, a thousand times yes!"
Adrian's smile widened, his eyes shining with love. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, intricately crafted ring. It glimmered in the moonlight, a symbol of their eternal love and commitment.
Sliding the ring onto Evelyn's finger, Adrian whispered, "With this ring, I pledge my eternal love and devotion to you, Evelyn. You are my soulmate, my everything." Evelyn admired the ring, its beauty a reflection of the love they shared. She looked up at Adrian, her voice filled with love and gratitude. "And with this ring, I accept your love and vow to stand by your side for all eternity. You are my light, my forever." As the moon bathed them in its gentle light, Evelyn and Adrian sealed their engagement with a passionate kiss. The realm below erupted in cheers and applause, their joy echoing through the night.
