Love Amidst the Flames

Chap 73

Engfa drove along with Charlotte to a nearby beach, where only the two of them remained in the quiet of the night. They began to walk, gently, like dancers in a romantic waltz. The cool sea breeze carried the salty scent of the waves lapping against the shore, while the wind softly blew through their hair, making them feel relaxed and at peace. The sound of the waves crashing was like the heartbeat of the night, blending with each step they took, as if their walk was a soft, emotional love song.

Engfa gently tilted her head to look at Charlotte, her eyes sparkling under the faint streetlights. Her smile was like a soft ray of light in the dark, radiating a beauty that words couldn't describe. She reached out to lightly stroke Charlotte's hair, a gesture so tender and full of affection, as if she wanted to touch all the beautiful things in life, making every moment with Charlotte precious. Their footsteps blended together, slow and calm, without the need for words, just simply being with each other, feeling the closeness in the rhythm of their hearts. It was just the two of them, under a vast sky, with stars shining as witnesses to their love.

● "I really like this," Charlotte whispered, her voice echoing softly in the night air, as gentle as a sea breeze. "It feels like we're in a fairy tale. It's just the two of us." She looked up at Engfa, her eyes shining like stars in the sky, her smile sweet and full of love.

Engfa smiled, her gaze never leaving Charlotte, her heart overflowing with feelings she couldn't express in words. She gently brushed Charlotte's hair, letting her hand linger just a little longer on her soft locks, feeling the warmth spreading from the body of the girl she loved.

● "You are the most wonderful part of that story," Engfa said, her tone soft as if it were a promise, an unspoken vow from her heart. "And I will never let you go." Engfa's eyes were filled with deep, sincere emotion, as if nothing could separate them, nothing could diminish this love.

As they walked along the beach, the starry sky above them, Engfa suddenly stopped and looked at Charlotte with a curious expression, as if she had just remembered something. She asked, her voice gentle but full of wonder:

● "Why didn't you fight back earlier? I know you could... you're a commando, after all."

Charlotte chuckled softly, looking up at Engfa, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She spoke while gently looking down at the luxurious evening dress she was wearing, the hem swaying with each step.

● "Because I didn't want to ruin Tuni's party," Charlotte replied, her voice as light as the breeze. "And... I didn't want to ruin this beautiful image."

Engfa laughed, unable to contain her amusement at Charlotte's cute and playful answer.

● "You really know how to surprise me, Charlotte," Engfa said, shaking her head, but her smile was brighter than ever. She gently squeezed Charlotte's hand, her heart full of love and pride. "Whether you're a commando or not... I will always want to protect you."

Charlotte felt every word from Engfa as a prayer of love, a sweet commitment she couldn't find anywhere else. She gently held Engfa's hand tighter, her heart melting in the sweet emotions that Engfa brought. Under the vast night sky, it seemed as though the world was just the two of them, and the surrounding space became their own, where love wasn't bound by time or space.

As they stopped by the shore, the moonlight shone on the water, casting a soft, shimmering glow like pearls. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and eternal, with only the gentle waves lapping and the soft breaths of the two of them. They stood still, gazing out at the sea, but each of their hearts was filled with indescribable feelings, as if this space was meant just for them.
