Book 10: Chapter 24


    Elves mayck anything but flowers.


    Ling Yue stood up and looked at the flower in my hand with aplex look. She then looked at me, and let out a heavy sigh. She got up from the bed and walked up to me. She gently picked up the flower in my hand and gently stroked the yellow flower petal. Then she walked out of the tent without saying a word to me.


    Despite her not saying anything, I still had to show my sincerity.


    It was the first time she left her room in a while, and she was full of hostility for me this time, as though she was worried my purpose for entering her tent was to go down on her again It was a big improvement for her to walk up to my side, and exit the tent with me


    I followed her, but she didnt concern herself with me. However, I noticed that she walked at a certain pace to amodate me. She didnt turn back to look at me, but I understood what she was indicating. We walked with one of us in front of the other in silence. Nheless, we didnt separate at any point. We walked up to the mountain slope at the rear together.


    This ce wasparable to a small cliff. It was as if a left over section when therge canyon was split. Ling Yue held the flower solemnly, and sat down on the edge of the cliff.


    The night breeze gently blew her hair. She looked at the cold wind blowing from the North with sadness in her crescent-moon blood-red eyes. The wind whistled as if it carried with it the dreary and bloody years. The breeze made the yellow flower petals sway gently like her hair.


    I stood next to her in silence. A moment after, Ling Yue pat the spot next to her, so I sat down next to her. He then sped the flower tightly and asked, Do you like flowers?


    Do you think I would let you sit next to me if I didnt? Ling Yue held the flower up to her nose and sniffed it. She then lowered her head and went on Thank you. I never said I liked flowers, but you still knew. The climate in the North makes it unsuitable for nting flowers. There are only these small yellow flowers. My father used to bring me back a bouquet of flowers after going to the pce. I really liked them, but I dont think I ever nted any.


    She lowered her head with a slightly sad expression and stroked the flower in her hand. She continued, I really like flowers. I can only see so many flowers on this side.


    I looked at the flower in her hand andughed in a soft voice, I dont like flowers, though, especially the one in your hands. I really dont like it.


    And yet you gave it to me?!


    Thats because I didnt pick it


    Return me my moved feelings, then!!


    No, no. I was the one who came up with the idea despite not being the person to pick it. I can tell what you like.


    I nearly ate another p. She just softened up a little, yet she instantly became aggressive again. I looked at her slightly sadly and smiled, Do you know why I dont like these flowers? Its not because Im allergic to them or because I dont like these things even if they are befitting of a Queen.


    Why dont you like them, then?


    She looked at me, somewhat angry. I looked back at her face and smiled. I looked to the North and quietly exined, Because theyre on the casket of the girl I love. Im reminded of her voice and face, as well as her small tomb.


    Anger condensed on Ling Yues face. She dallied for a moment as she looked at me without knowing what to do.


    Howe you love so many girls?


    I thought youdfort me!


    She looked at me, and then replied softly, Im very sorry, but even so, you love far too many girls. However, I want to know how she passed away.


    I looked at her and in a serious tone answered, Because of betrayal. No, perhaps it was because I was weak, trusted people too easily and ipetent that she died. She died protecting me. She gave me everything she had, and even her life in the end. Ling Yue, how can I not love a woman who gave everything she had for me?


    I dont understand why so many women are willing to give up so much for you. To me, youre just a promiscuous bastard. At most, youve just got an okay-looking face.


    I dont think any of my wives are with me because of my appearance


    Who knows? I cantprehend how you humans and elves think.


    Ling Yue looked toward the North again, seemingly unwilling to say any more. I looked to the North in the direction she looked. I looked at her homnd and softly told her, Her name is Luna. She was an elf and was also my personal servant, my only personal servant. She was an existence that was the equivalent of Leah. I saved her, and she saved me, too. I love her, and I wanted to be with her forever even if she could only be my personal servant. s, she cant open her eyes again due to my own problem.


    Ling Yue didnt respond to what I said as though she didnt hear me.


    I wasnt after some response, though. The only response Id get is sorry or Im very sorry or Dont worry, she left with a smile, pointless things along those lines.


    I was content just to have someone listen and understand.


    After she passed away, I never wanted to see these flowers again. She loved the sea of flowers the most when she was alive. I buried her there. I suffer immeasurable misery and pain when I see these flowers. Thats why I told myself that I would never ever let anyone around me suffer this sort of pain.


    Ling Yue jerked her body a little, but she didnt turn to look at me. If I didnt see her ear, I wouldnt have noticed it, either.


    Youre one of them, Ling Yue. I dont want to let anybody hurt you. Although youre not my wife, personal servant or whatever, but you stuck by my side and went through so much with me, so Ive manifested a desire to protect you. Thats why the regret and guilt I felt for those few days you ignored me really grinded at my heart


    She swung her tail; then I felt a warm and gentle sensation on my back.


    I turned my head to see her change her sitting posture. She supported her face with her hand and looked to the North. She looked at the dark North, and then down toward the camp with fire torches lighted. She quietly said, Just dont talk about it Pretend it never happened. Ive thought to myself for a long time, as well. In short, theres no way Ill be your Princess, so you can toss any shards of that idea away. We should just stick to working together. Lets just pretend it never happened.


    I looked at her and nodded gently. She swung her tail behind gently then pulled it back, exposing our backs to the cold. The cold caused me to sneeze.


    Ling Yue, I really cant touch your tail again
