He didn't come back until around ten minutes later.

"Are you well rested?" he asked, squatting down next to her.

Blair nodded.

“Then, let me show you around.”

“Okay.”

She followed him out of the room. There was not much to see. Blair had visited the army base in Alorith while Wesley was still working there.

She didn't see much difference.

When they reached the flag-raising platform, Wesley grabbed her hand and took her to the flagstaff. They stood under the national flag which was dancing gracefully in the wind.

Blair was confused. She looked around and asked, “Wesley, why did you bring me here?"

“To ask you to marry me." He took out a box from his pocket and went on one knee. He slowly opened the box and raised the ring in front of her

It was all so sudden. Blair had thought that he wouldn't propose to her again because she had turned him down last time.

“Blair, I said I would keep proposing to you until you said yes." She had finally woken up from her coma, and their son was almost two years old. It was time.

Blair gasped. They were in a playground. There was nobody else around them.

“Why here?" she asked.

She didn't know this, but they were not alone. The soldiers had hidden themselves to watch Wesley propose to her

He looked up at the national flag.

“I thought I belonged to the country and the people. I never wanted a family. I was afraid that I was incapable of making anyone happy.”

But ever since Blair walked into his life, he realized that he was wrong. He wanted her to be happy. And he now knew that he could make her happy.

He was grateful that they had met and had ended up together

And Wesley knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let her go.

“What made you change your mind?" Blair asked with a smile.

“You. I love you. I want you to be happy. Blair, will you marry me?"

Worried that she would turn him down again, Wesley had sent everybody away and made the playground theirs alone.

Eyes brimming with tears, Blair asked, “Didn't you secretly get our marriage certificates years ago?"

"I didn't intend to keep it from you. I wanted to give it to you as a surprise. But you threw the certificates away." Wesley's voice was low.
