She's been sketching and painting that drawing over and over, presenting her concept, and many more before her final exhibition.

"Y-yes, I've been doing great recently." Answered Lily with a smile. With Ren's presence standing next to her, really calmed her down. "Your Highness, how do you feel about today's exhibition?" asked one of the reporters towards Ren this time. "well, this is my first student painting exhibition and I have yet to see the paintings as I straight away come here to meet my fiancée~" said Ren as he hold her shoulders.

"Well now excuse me, we have a painting tour to do. Thank you." Said Ren as he ended the interview for both of them. With that, his bodyguard was making a way for both of them and they smiled. Lily bowed her head slightly towards the media to show some respect for them saying her thank you.

"Give me a tour." Said Ren and Lily nodded. "No problem." Said Lily as she took his hands and interlaced with his as they walk along the aisle together. "Oh, this is Amelia's painting." Said Lily while pointing towards the painting.

"It's a story of her." Explained Lily. "She told me that girl was trying to reach the stars it's like her, trying to reach her goals." Added Lily. "What are her goals?" asked Ren. "well, a lot. But one thing I remember is that she's been looking for the love of her life too." Answered Lily and Ren nodded. "Hoping that she could found one soon." Said Ren.

Both of them walked towards three more painting and finally it reached Lily's drawing.

"This white heart of mine, I will draw our moments and keep it forever." Says the title of her painting.

It was the drawing that Ren saw a glimpse the other day but Lily quickly hides it from him. "Would you like to tell me the story behind your painting?" asked Ren as he looked at the painting and smiled towards Lily.

"Well, it's a story about a King and a Queen. It's easy." Said Lily.

"The drawing was inside a white heart shaped… and why is that?" asked Ren.

"It's a story about a King standing on a throne. After so many obstacles and hardship that he has to go, finally he's able to stand on the throne. As for the Queen, every achievement that the King made, there will always be someone standing next to him. She's the one who gave him the courage, the one who's always there for him no matter how hard it was. She was there all the time." Explained Lily.

"The painting is us, am I right?" asked Ren suddenly. Lily widened her eyes and blushed. "How do you know?" asked Lily as she crossed her arms making Ren chuckled and let out a deep sigh.

"What's with the sigh? Is it too boring?" asked Lily as she watched Ren was rummaging on his jacket pocket.

"What's wrong?" asked Lily.

Without any warning, Ren suddenly knelt to the ground with one knee and hold a box of ring in front of her.

"Oh my god, Ren-" said Lily in surprised as she covered her mouth. Without she realized, Lucas, Amelia and a few media was there too witnessing this moment.

"Lily Valentina, the girl I've been waiting for my whole life, the one I've been looking for, the one who's always with through my ups and down and support me whenever I'm feeling down and thought of giving up." said Ren as he remembered how Lily was always there for her especially when his father left him, how Sir Luis always try to bring him down. Lily has never left him no matter how hard it is.

Both of them finally reached to this one room located at the end of the hallway. "Ready?" asked Ren suddenly as she hold the doorknob with her left hand. Ren nodded nervously not knowing what Ren was about to show her. Once Ren turned the doorknob, both of them entered the room and Lily was too surprised by it that she has to cover her mouth feeling amazed with what Ren has made for her.

"Surprise!" said Ren happily. It was a painting room made just for her. She saw a few white canvas, new paint, new brush, new drawing table, new wooden easel stand and a few drawings and painting that she made back during her study days.

"Oh my god Ren…" said Lily feeling so touched by what Ren had made for her.

"I request from mother to make a painting room for you… you can be here anytime you want." Said Ren. "Thank you so much… well then, you know where to find me later~" said Lily with a smile. "Oh, I got one more to show you." Said Ren. While holding hands, Ren brought Lily walked along the hallway till they've reached the big stairs located at the center of the palace. What surprised Lily the most was, the drawing that she made for her final year project was hanging at the center of the stairs but with bigger frame. So big that almost fit the big wall.

"That's-" said Lily and Ren cut her lines. "Yes, the one that you draw. It's us, right?" asked Ren and Lily nodded. "The drawing has its own story and I love it. So… I ask another painter to make one but bigger so that we could put here and show to everyone…" said Ren. "But don't worry, you can keep the original and yours is better." Said Ren making Lily chuckled. "Silly you, different people have different style of drawing and painting…." Said Lily. "But I like yours more." Said Ren making Lily blushed.

"Ren," called Lily.

"Yes, My love?" said Ren while looking at her attentively.

"Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for finding me and thank you for choosing me as your life partner." Said Lily and gave him a hug.

"No Lily, it was you who I should thank to." Said Ren. Then, he leaned in closer and gave her a kiss. "Thank you so much for always being there for me, and thank you for not running away when everything was a mess. You've been through a lot. From a normal ordinary girl, to someone who need to learn how to be a noble lady, you've got kidnapped twice but here you are, still standing in front of me." Said Ren.
