Chapter 188: Stella’s Guidance(2)

“Stupid,” Stella whispered, looking away from Alex.

It was quite a wrong choice as Alex made one of his comical expressions. He was stunned by Stella’s reply, not quite understanding her.

Wouldn’t it be better for her if he were to maintain a friendly relationship with Remia? If they were to become a couple, Stella would have less time.

And while it was a truth, Stella had taken a liking to Remia. After the fairy princess’ first visit, Remia was one of those girls who often visited Stella with the little dullahan. She was a part of the group that willingly took care of Stella.

“It’s weird, isn’t it? Just because you like Remia as a friend doesn’t mean I have to accept her feelings, right?” Alex whispered, “What about me? I don’t think I feel love toward her. There’s just too much conflict of interests between us.

We have many enemies ahead of us… Even now, your sisters are trying to find some of them, so our burden lessens. We have a lot of work to do, and there’s a lot of connection between us,” Alex said.

He then looked outside the window, “Remia’s future is in her forest. And that place has a limited future, too.”

Looking at the queen’s level, Alex inferred that they had too many limits. If he were to become a couple with Remia, she would eventually lag behind them. Of course, he had a cheat in his system that allowed residents to level up like players in his party.

But every race still had its limits.

“While we continue to get stronger, Remia will be left behind. At some point, she won’t be even able to talk back to you should some conflict happen, just because of the level gap. She will feel alienated, won’t she?

But if we stay as friends, you girls and I will be able to have a much more direct relationship with Remia. And… because of that, wouldn’t it be better for Remia to have a husband who would always be with her?” Alex asked.

“Why won’t you tell her this, then?” Stella whispered.

And with that one sentence, Stella had guided Alex onto a proper path. But as if that was not enough, she left some more words too.

Just in case.

Stella added, “You can always break up.”

If Remia decided to be with Alex despite everything he said, it would be on her if she felt abandoned or left out. After all, the relationship wasn’t just one side taking care of another.

And a weak girl also could support and provide a lot of happiness to her stronger lover.

“I will talk about it with her,” Alex decided to follow Stella’s words.

She replied, “I am inexperienced about love matters… But I had a talk with big sister, and I also follow common sense.”

“Yes, you smart girl,” Alex chuckled, then snickered, “Since when do you have a common sense, though?”

Stella pouted, “I always had a common sense. I just rarely follow it.”

“Haha!” Alex laughed, feeling quite great with the winged wife.

He ended up rolling on the bed with her, taking her spot. After she landed on his chest, Alex caressed her ear, tucking her hair behind it. He also stroked her hair, following his usual routine, leaving Stella feeling content.

Stella kept letting out winged girl satisfied noises, which in their current situation was quite dangerous. Alex couldn’t hold back, his reaction poking Stella’s thigh.

She glanced at him with her golden eyes.

Alex shook his head, “It’s not a good time, isn’t it?”

“Be more selfish,” Stella whispered before closing her eyes and burying her face in his chest.

Alex patted her back, “I’m already too selfish… Well, I have learned about your mother’s location because of it…”

Stella’s heart skipped a beat as she recorded those words. She trembled in Alex’s arms, telling him how much shock went through her.

Alex smiled, “We can’t be sure about her location… and we also can’t tell whether it is her… However, the silver-haired goddess has been spotted on a different continent, taking over a wind mountain.

We can’t go between continents now, so that’s for later… But that clue is our first step toward your reunion with her… and my meeting with your mother,” Alex whispered, smiling faintly at Stella.

She felt many emotions in Alex’s heart. One particular feeling lifted her head, making the golden-haired wife look at Alex with narrowed eyes.

He smiled, not saying anything.

“Ok,” Stella said before rubbing her face on his chest again, “Thank you.”

“No problem,” Alex smiled, then whispered, “I also have to take care of your mother.”

[A few hours later.]

Alex had learned about the forest fairies’ current goals.

First of all, the forest fairies’ queen had sent messengers to the nearby demi-human tribes. It was time to request their help, primarily their one hundred level leaders. She contacted those who were neutral or had a favorable friendship with her people.

Then, Yumia started sharpening up her fairies’ weapons. All her children and family were also on standby, preparing for the inevitable clash with the first monster.

The mood was quite heavy…

Of course, Yumia also requested help from Alex. Of course, Alex’s level couldn’t help too much, but Yumia believed he had techniques that could assist them. She had a favorable impression of Alex because of his show of emotions, which he threw at the villain.

Alex wasn’t a solo player, either. He had a winged goddess with himself. Yumia was ready to beg for Stella’s help as her healing abilities had been a great help during rescue missions.

If she were to use the Ultimate Skill, Stella’s healing prowess would outshine every forest fairies, who were well-versed in those skills.

“Stella won’t use her Ultimate Skill,” Alex whispered, facing the forest fairies’ queen head-on.

They were alone as she found a time for Alex. No, she had to find a time for him; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to request their help.

Yumia also could use her daughter, but she decided to speak personally with Alex as that could leave a better impression.

But so far, Yumia’s face was scrunched.

“I also won’t participate in this battle,” Alex whispered, looking different than before.

Yumia didn’t know that Alex had already had a talk with her daughter and that their relationship had taken a significant step.
