"My other race is... I think you already figured that out." Aaron took a sip of the tea, and added.
"It's just bad Aura took the remaining tea with her."
"Yeah."
Angela nodded, then smiled brightly:
"So I was right, you are a half human."
"Correct."
Aaron nodded with a smile. 'That'll do for now.'
"Hmm--"
"--Before you ask another question, I'll like to ask only one... Why are you after me?"
Aaron placed the cup on the table, staring deeply at her.
Angela relaxed on her seat, after some Seconds of contemplating... She finally opened her mouth.
"I want you."
Aaron: "Pardon?"
Protean: 'I knew it!!'
"Ahem! It seems I don't understand you, Can you clarify yourself?"
"It's normal for you to be surprise... So I'll explain, I need you to be my boyfriend, after we become Adults, You'll marry me... That's what I want from you, and that's the reason I want to be close to you."
She said in a straight tone.
'Wow! A 16-year-old girl proposing marriage to my master, who's not even 2 years old... Am I the only one flabbergasted?'
Aaron glared at Protean on his shoulder, and turned his head back to Angela.
"That was surprising, but... What Is the main reason for taking this route? You have a long life ahead, why thinking about marriage?"
'He didn't refuse? That's a good sign.'
Angela sighed:
"The councils board are eyeing the throne, and my father doesn't have any Sons who would be the next king after him, that's why... My father and the councils have asked me countless times to choose a guy... But I have my standard... I can't just pick anyone... That'll be wrong... It has been a year now...
'Why don't he carried countless women and sleep with all of them? One will surely give birth to a boy.'
Aaron turned his head to Protean again.
'What? I'm giving a valid suggestion here.'
Angela moved her gaze from Protean to Aaron. 'These two are communicating! This bird might be In a higher stage, Maybe a Demon-Stage or Cursed
-Demon!'
"What did he say?"
Out of curiosity she asked.
"Who?" Aaron asked in mild confusion.
"Your familiar, He said something, what is it?"
"He said why don't your father marries more women? 10 years is enough to impregnate many women, and with his title and position, a lot of women will readily agree."
"Fufufufu... Your familiar surely has a sharp brain... My father is loyal to my Mom, Although she's dead, But he hasn't slept with anyone."
Aaron let go of her hand and relaxed, his gaze fixed on her... Angela was confused why he removed his hand from hers, and stared at him in confusion.
"You know what, Angela?" Aaron stood up, his expression flat:
"I accept, But..." He raised one finger.
"No touching, or any of that sort... And I'll have to tell Lori about this, she'll be heartbroken, but I'm doing this for myself."
"Yes, Who is that slut by the way?" Angela asked with killing intent.
"If you insult her next time, we are done."
Aaron's eyes changed from Blue to red, then back to its usual blue, Angela blinked.
'Did his eyes just? No, I might be seeing things.' Before she could say anything, Aaron sat back down.
"Now... Let's talk about my gain."
"Gain?"
"Do you think I'll do this for free? I told you, I'm not the good guy type who want to save a damsel in distress."
"..."
