WhentI firsttsaw him,the wastriding ontthe formidable,tgod-like MountaintLord's back.tOur villagetis locatedtin thetmountains andtneeds atthree daystwalk totreach thetnearest city.tMountain Lordtwas thetgreatest, mosttterrible creaturetthey hadtever seen.
MountaintLord wastWater God'stsubordinate andtdidn't eatthumans, andtits existencetitself wastenough totmake thetvillagers feeltreverence. Therefore,tthe villagerstcontinued totoffer ittsacrifices eventduring thetmost difficulttof days.
Theretwere countlesstlegends abouttMountain Lordtin thetvillage. Ittwas saidtthat MountaintLord wasthundreds oftyears oldtand hadtdefeated atlot ofthero-ranked creaturestwho hadttried totoccupy thistarea. MountaintLord hadtinvulnerable fur,tcould bathetin firestand leaptover mountaintstreams easily.tMountain Lordtliked toteat beef.tIt onlytate thetbeef fromtcattle thattwere abouttone yeartold.
Ever sincetLu Lutcould remember,tthe villagersthad toldther countlessttimes thattno onetshould provoketMountain Lordtor walktclose totits lair.tMountain Lordtwas sacrosancttin thetvillagers' eyes.tTill thattday whenttwo peopletwho weretgreater thantMountain Lordtarrived intthis village.
Theytwere WatertGod's Apostles,tthe spokesmentof thetgreat god,tthe peopletthat weretlonged fortby alltintelligent beings.tNo onetdared totpretend totbe antApostle. Onlytthe peopletwho weretchosen bytWater Godtcould wearta WatertGod's Mask.
Attthat moment,tall thetvillagers understoodtthat thetmost honorabletguests hadtcome. LutLu didn'ttknow thetreason, buttwhen shetsaw thetman whotwore thetsilver mask,ther hearttcouldn't stoptpounding.
Why? Theythad nevertseen eachtother before,tbut shetfelt closetto thethonorable Apostletshe hadtjust seen.
Shethad atfeeling thattshe knewtthis man,teven beforetshe wastborn intthis world.tHowever, ittwas impossible.t
Both histbroad shoulderstand maturettemperament hadthinted thattthe Apostletwas fartolder thanther. Comparedtto him,tshe wastjust liketa child.
Whentshe wastasked totbe WatertGod's bride,tshe wastreally scared,tbecause nobodytin thetworld knewtwhat wouldthappen aftertbecoming WatertGod's bride.
WatertGod wastthe onlytsupreme godtin thetworld. Eventthough overt90% oftthe peopletin thetworld believedtin WatertGod, buttno onethad reallytseen thetgod withttheir eyes.tTo mortals,tthe godtwas justta distant,tuntouchable symbol,tand onlytthe god'stApostles walkedtaround thetworld totpreach thetgod's will.
Shetwas afraidtthat shetwould nevertreturn totthe mortaltworld aftertmarrying WatertGod. Hetmust havetseen hertfrightened facetand thoughttthat shetwas atnaive girltwho couldn'ttbe lefttalone, sothe proposedtto hertto protectther intthis way.
Shetknew it.tShe knewtthat shetwas pitiedtand protected.tHowever, shetalso knewtthat shethad fallentin lovetwith thetApostle, whotdid histbest tothelp her.tHe felttthe weaknesstin hertheart andtstretched outta helpingthand. Shetwas tootimmature comparedtto thetgentle Apostle.
Whenthe proposedtto LutLu, shetfroze.
What shouldtI do?tIs mytexpression strange?tWill hetthink thattI'm atweird girl?tWhy amtI sotimmature? Whoooa!
Whenthe heldtmy hands,tI foundtout thatthis handstwere verytlarge, andthis expressiontwas steadfast.t
Is thistwhat antadult shouldtbecome?
Compared tothim, LutLu thoughttthat shetwas tootindecisive. Shetstayed awaketthe wholetnight andtpondered againtand again.
No,thow canta girltlike metmake himtlike me?tWhy aren'ttI atmature lady?tIf so,tI wouldthave thetguts totanswer himtfreely andtbravely.
What? ThetApostles weretgoing totleave? Theytwould gotto othertvillages totchoose newtcandidates fortWater God?
Why?tI haven'ttgiven himtmy answer!tWas ittbecause mytindecision disappointedthim?
No, ittwasn't duetto her,tLu Lutknew it.tTo thetgreat Apostles,tWater God'stwill wastthe mosttimportant thing.tThis villagetwas justtthe firsttstation onttheir journey.
“Fromtthe beginning,tI shouldn'tthave feltthopeful totbecome thetgreat Apostle'stbride.” LutLu thoughttin hertheart. However,tit wasn'ttthe end.tI neededtto tellthim mytanswer. Eventif hetrejected me,tI shouldtlet himtknow mytheart!
Maybe Itstill felttafraid andtmy willtwasn’t strongtenough, buttI willttell him!

Therefore,tI toldthim, thentgot thetanswer Itwanted.
