[Ch142]‼️Serena told Eiser that she wanted to get engaged to him. Serena: “Yeah. I want to get engaged to you! I hate being called your ex-wife or ex-husband, and even though we’re divorced, calling each other lovers again feels kind of awkward. So why don’t we just make it official and let everyone know? This time, we can tell them that we’re together because we both want to be. It could be a new beginning for us, too.” Eiser: “I feel the same way, but it’s too soon. Right now, we have more to lose than to gain, so it would put us at a disadvantage. Don’t forget that this is a very important time for both of us. The marriage proposals coming our way and the approaches from each of our families are all important information… Just look at what happened this time. The information that the royal family intends to pass the throne to the youngest prince has enormous significance, whether it’s true or not. You know better than anyone how complicated things within the royal family have been since the former queen passed away. And the fact that Hyerd told you this himself means it wasn’t just an empty bluff to persuade you. It means that, within the royal family, the future power structure has already been settled to some extent… Serena. We’re going to get married eventually. That won’t change. But we need to decide strategically when to make that public. It’s not about our feelings. It’s about timing…” Serena: “I understand what you’re saying. But I can’t agree with you. There’s one thing I want to make clear. I didn’t bring up getting engaged because I was shaken by the marriage proposals. I brought it up because I want to decide for myself where I stand. Whether I get engaged or not… neither I nor my family are in a position to be swayed by those kinds of interests…” Serena then left. (Eiser: “I want to make you mine right now, too. I want to make it so no one would dare lay a hand on you, to make it absolutely clear that you’re my woman. But my desire to leave all the opportunities open to you, without tying you down to anyone or anything… hasn’t changed, not then and not now. So trying to tie you to me right away would just be my own selfish desire. …Or, Serena. Try to convince me a little more. Make me cross the line I drew myself, to the point where I have no choice but to step over it. Give me no way to retreat, and create a trap that will ensnare me. You never know… I might even willingly let myself get caught by the thin… single thread you’ve laid out for me…”) Later, Serena and Eiser arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of Atiagen, at Valerne Hartwell Station. A man appeared and offered to escort Serena. He was Ednoch Peter, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canberraton. Serena agreed to let him escort her just to provoke Eiser 😂 But when she turned around, she saw Eiser talking to another woman. She was Anesa Bernel, Vice Director of the Kingdom Architecture Institute and an architect. Serena was annoyed, while Eiser just smiled…. 📚📖Naverwebtoon —— #serenamanhwa #manhwalovers #manhwafyp #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp
