(EP-151.1) Aspect #4
151 – New Aspect #4
Honestly, I had to admit it.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
I might have overlooked one thing.
That was, the fact that Elga turned out to not be as docile as I thought.
Of course, I didn’t want Elga to be as meek as a kitten.
Considering that she approached Mirna on her own accord and even visited Aira’s room for a talk last night, Elga was clearly assertive, even too assertive for my liking.
Was this what they called a “chadette” or something?
I gazed at the tranquil pond.
Unlike the turmoil in my heart, the pond remained calm, except for the ripples created by the fishes. Still, watching it made me feel a bit more composed.
With determination, I asked.
“What kind of conversation did Aira-nim have with Elga-nim yesterday?”
After saying it, I realized my heart was pounding fiercely.
The sense of vertigo I felt was incomparable to when the Hunter attacked Aira earlier. Because Elga’s words were nothing short of the entrance to doom.
Elga knew far too much about me, and even the slightest mention from her made it difficult to imagine how Aira would treat me.
She must have left after leaving the closet.
“Are you curious? About our chat~.”
With the blue bird on her finger, Aira was quite relaxed. It didn’t seem like she was blaming me, nor was she pressuring me.
Considering Aira’s ordinary behavior towards me today, I assume she probably didn’t hear any fatal secrets or weaknesses from Elga.
Finally, Aira spoke.
“Theo, she asked if she could marry you.”
There was no build up, she just went and said it...
I was momentarily taken aback, which left a brief pause in our conversation. Aira then interjected with a few more words.
“I thought it would eventually happen one day.”
“That... what do you mean?”
“Well, Theo, you’re the man I’ve acknowledged. You’re the second wisest person after me, and the second most intelligent man in the world. Isn’t it only natural for women to be attracted to such a man?”
Ah, actually, I knew who she would hate.
Aira despited Kasim, criticizing him as a boastful fool.
Looking at it that way, I still had a lot to learn about Aira.
Aira then responded.
“Well, I haven’t really thought about it. But I’d prefer someone who doesn’t act like they’re superior. If he’s to be this Queen’s husband, he must know how to be humble.”
‘Humble.’
It was an important virtue to Aira. The reason why she disliked Kasim was his lack of humility.
“I’d also like him to be devoted to me. But not too devoted, as that might get boring. So it would be nice if he argued with me sometimes.”
Aira casually talked about her ideal type.
Kind, capable, humble, and so on. It felt a bit surprising since it was the common ideal type for any woman.
“Is that all?”
“No, there is one more. He should be tall. Taller than me.”
With that statement, I became acutely aware of the height difference between us...
Aira was a few centimeters taller than me. My height was around the high 160s, while hers was around 170.
In other words, she was taller than me.
I was much shorter than her...
I, Theo Gospel, did not meet Aira’s ideal type. It was probably because of my heritage as part Fairy.
She liked someone taller.
I guessed this was why she treated me more like a pet than a man.
Damned Half-Fairy genes...
But overall, the Queen’s ideal type was quite normal, even plain.
“It’s more ordinary than I thought.”
“Yes. But surprisingly, there aren’t many people like that.”
‘I see...’
