(EP-276.1) Confession #4
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 would definitely be wife material... That was 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 combined their points, it would feel unfair to the others.
But if I split them, it didn’t seem fair either because of the inconvenience that resulted from sharing one body.
It was 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 my ribs. 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 wouldn’t make them disappear; instead, they turned into a source of pollution that could cause 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.
And I was a man.
Macho Theo, MaTheo, wouldn’t run away at a time like this but would speak clearly!
Imagining a muscular man who had silently battled waves and sea winds while reeling in tuna for a long time, I decided to embody that manliness as if I had become him.
“Lady Mirna, as you’ve guessed, it’s true that I have more things to say. And in this process, you have a significant role to play.”
“A significant role for me?”
Mirna seemed slightly tense. It was only natural for her to be nervous if the descendant of a long-lost royal family suddenly appeared and expected her to play a major role.
Everything she had protected until now, and the peaceful days she could have had in the future, might all crumble, forcing her into a chaotic future.
In that sense, even if Mirna were to get angry and ask, “Why are you dragging me into this without my consent?” I was prepared to humbly accept it.
However, instead of saying that, Mirna calmly asked.
“Huu, the Draco family ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) has always been a loyal and faithful companion to the Angmar family. I didn’t expect that I would take on that role, but surely there must be a profound mission behind it.”
“That’s correct. As you already know, the era of the old Angmar royal family has ended. They were utterly destroyed, with not a single person left.”
“Well... those with a high affinity for red mana were all purged or driven mad and died. Most of them were from the Angmar royal family...”
What Mirna said was true.
