(EP-267.2) Song #4
267 – Cicada’s Song #4
When Mirna frowned, my hands had already skillfully woven the flower stems into a small circle.
“This is a present for Mirna-nim.”
“It’s just a ring made of flowers. I’m not one of those kids running around. You gave Narmi earrings, but I got a plain flower ring?”
“But this way, it won’t be ordinary.”
Seuuuk-.
I infused the wildflower ring with magic, coating it with my mana. This transformed it into something far from ordinary.

「Half-Fairy’s Wildflower Ring: Slightly boosts the wearer’s luck...!」
Success! Although the effect was much less impressive than I had hoped, Mirna’s eyes widened as she looked at it.
“This is enchantment magic? I heard that it’s a skill that magic craftsmen have to practice hard to master. When did you learn this?”
“I picked it up by watching Emperor Kasim.”
“People say it takes ten years of apprenticeship to master this.”
Was it really that impressive?
Mirna said.
“I knew Sir Theo was talented, but I’ve never seen anyone succeed in enchantment magic without any special techniques.”
“So, will you accept my ring?”
“Alright...”
I gently placed the ring on Mirna’s ring finger. A magical ring made from natural materials.
Though it looked simple and ordinary, Mirna seemed quite pleased with the ring I gave her, despite her earlier grumbling.
“I never thought you had such a skill. But now that I think about it, I don’t know much about Sir Theo.”
“Is that so? I thought you knew me quite well...”
“I don’t know what kind of life you’ve lived, or what you like. Sir Theo doesn’t really talk about himself....”
She was right. I rarely talk about myself.
If I were to say, “I liked making noises into the fan as a child,” the listener would naturally wonder, “What’s a fan?”
I didn’t want to highlight the fact that I was not from this world. Besides that, I generally wasn’t the type to chatter about myself. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Why was that?
Then Mirna asked.
“What type of women do you like, Sir Theo?”
“I..., someone like Lady Mirna—.”
“Leave out the flattery about liking women like me.”
She was quite adept.
However, I found this question awkward. What kind of women did I like? Weren’t all men the same? Pretty, cute, and someone who liked only me...
So I vaguely mumbled, ignoring the itchy feeling at the back of my head.
“I don’t think that’s important between Mirna-nim and me right now.”
But Mirna’s attitude was quite firm.
“It is important now. Knowing what kind of woman you like will help me take a bigger share of your heart.”
“It’s kind of embarrassing...”
It made my heart flutter. Was it the first time someone tried to cater to me? The women around me generally had strong personalities.
Of course, Mirna was no exception. That was why I was completely caught off guard by such words.
As I struggled to respond, Mirna spoke in a pouty tone.
“Do you like naked women?”
“Mirna-nim, I told you that was the dungeon’s activation phrase.”
