276 – Reconciliation and Confession #4

Mirna was a wise woman.

So, she likely noticed that revealing this surprising fact to her was not the goal or the result, but rather a part of the process.

“Sir Theo, the reason you’ve disclosed such a startling truth to me is clearly because there’s something you want from me.”

In fact, without me having to explain it in detail, Mirna had already guessed that more important matters would follow.

A wise and intelligent woman who could ease a man’s burdens was wife material. That’s why I gave Mirna 10 points in my mind.

Then suddenly, a thought occurred to me—how should I score Mirna and Narmi, considering they are two people yet one?

Two people yet one. If I combine their points, it would feel unfair to the others.

But if I split them, it doesn’t seem fair either because of the inconvenience that comes from sharing one body.

It’s a real dilemma.

At that moment, someone poked me in the side.

“Hey, you’re daydreaming right now, aren’t you?”

It was Elga.

Elga, with her brow furrowed, poked me in the side. It seemed she had noticed that I had activated my defense mechanism and drifted off into my thoughts.

“Ahem.”

I cleared my throat.

For a moment, I felt embarrassed that my mind had failed to accept reality and had been filled with escapist thoughts.

However, problems were like plastic. Burying and covering them up doesn’t make them disappear; instead, they become a source of pollution that causes even more trouble.

After this incident with Elga, I clearly recognized that, rather than covering things up, directly confronting and boldly resolving issues was the proper mindset of a true man.

I am a man.

Macho Theo, MaTheo, wouldn’t run away at a time like this but would speak clearly.

In response to Mirna’s question, I finally decided to reveal the deep secret I had kept inside.

“As I’ve mentioned before, I hope that Lady Mirna will join me in reviving my family—and to bear my child.”

Aah—.

As soon as I finished speaking, there’s a sigh from somewhere. It was Elga Von Lioness, who had been listening passively from the side as a bystander.

Elga slapped her forehead with her palm and grumbled, “Crazy bastard, he actually said it.” Probably because the words were still shocking even when it’s not the first time.

The person directly involved, Mirna, froze—her face stiffening as if she couldn’t comprehend what I had just said.

“Haah...!?”

Soon, her face flushed with shock, confusion, and embarrassment, as she asked.

“Wh-why does it lead to such a conclusion?”

“It’s about making up for what was taken. To birth children of the Angmar family through the Young Ladies of the four families. That’s the grand ambition I desire—”

“You’re insane!”

Before I could even finish speaking, Mirna shouted. I was worried that people outside might hear us.

Even though I had spent a fortune to rent out the entire place, I couldn’t help but feel anxious. But Mirna didn’t care about and continued to rage.

“What kind of insane revenge is that—!?”

“Um...”

As I paused for a moment, Elga poked me in the side and added.

“Tell her about the thirty kids you plan to have too. That’s the highlight.”

“Th-thirty...! Kyaaah—!”

Mirna was on the verge of fainting. Her eyes rolled back, and she staggered before collapsing onto the cushioned floor with a thud.

“Lady Mirna, are you alright?”

I rushed over to her and helped her up. As she lay in my arms, she muttered in a small voice, “Sir Theo, is this a dream? I must be having a nightmare.”

But unfortunately, this wasn’t a dream.
