“You’ve been planning to ask this from the very beginning, right?” (Yuki)
“Well, don’t be so defensive. It’s a very personal matter. –I’m now married.” (Finar)
“Oh, married… wait, married!?” (Yuki)
I froze and looked like an idiot, making Finar laugh happily.
“Haha, that’s a good response. Yeah, I saw you guys before, and I really thought that having a family might be nice.” (Finar)
Then Enne, who had just been silently munching on a pastry, interjected, “…Congratulations, Uncle Finar. Having a family is good.”
“Thank you, Enne. Yeah, watching your family made want a wife, as well.”
Enne replied, “…Hmm. I’m very happy every day. I’m sure you’ll be happy as well.”
“I envy you. I’ll have to do my best to have a family like yours.”
I looked at the two of them as they conversed leisurely and finally said sothing in return after recovering from my shock.
“Well, I guess…I can’t say I’m not impressed with your speed in deciding and then acting.”
It had only been about two months since the last ti we walked around the royal capital of the Rogard Empire with this guy.
I rembered him saying at that ti that he didn’t have a partner, but to go on from there and end up getting married… should I say, as expected of a King.
Now that I think about it, the other powerful leaders of countries I was acquainted with had also been thinking of similar things.
“Well, I am a king. If I wanted to, I could have any number of partners.”
Finar said with a cheerful face.
I was impressed, but for so reason, he gave an unusually bitter smile in response.
“It’s just that…well, how should I put it…I have never had this kind of experience at all. In fact, the girl had already caught off guard a few tis and I had been scolded. But I didn’t really know what I did wrong for her to be angry with .”
…I could imagine the situation.
Finar was a genius at everything, but this guy was quick-witted, and from what I could gather, he liked things to be efficient.
In other words, his whole being centered on ‘reason’.
Ask anyone about Finar, and they would probably answer with the sa response.
On the other hand, won did not think about relationships in terms of efficiency and reason, but more on emotion and sensitivity.
Those two sets of attributes (emotion and sensitivity) always caused a lot of inefficiency, sothing that Finar was not accustod to.
If one who thinks with reason confronts soone who thinks with emotion, it would be reasonable to say that things would not go well.
“That’s why I wanted to ask Yuki, my senior, to teach a lot about this aspect. I’m glad you ca at the right ti.”
“Didn’t you ask your subordinates?”
“Yes, I did. But, you know, I am still the King of a country. Everyone’s a little reserved in what they say.”
Ah, I see… they probably didn’t want to get involved in the King’s love life.
In that respect, perhaps I might certainly be better suited for the job.
But I have to admit that Finar’s problems were the sa ones I worry about on a daily basis.
What I appreciated about the won in my family was that when I made a mistake, they would always give a warning with a look of dismay on their faces.
So I was able to think about what I did wrong and what I should have done differently.
Well, I recently reanalyzed myself and thought… perhaps my long life span might have weakened my sex drive.
It was often said that the shorter the lifespan of a race, the more children they have. On the other hand, if they have a long life span, the number of children they have decreases, but there might also be other factors at play, of course.
And since I was a being that lived for more than a thousand years, my instinct for “survival of the species” was probably weaker than when I was a human.
Of course, when the ti cos, and the adults in my household felt like doing it, I also get excited, to the point that I would even put my hands together in worship and gratitude when it happens, but other than those tis, I usually didn’t have any sexual desire to do anything.
I have already lost most of my human aspects, but it was at tis like this that I realized that my race had also molded my new way of thinking.
“Well… I can talk to you about it, but I’m also making a lot of mistakes every day, and I’m getting a lot of grief because of it.”
“But from what I saw at the Rogard Empire, you seed to be getting along very well. You’re definitely doing better than I am. I’d love to know your secret in getting along with girls.”
That’s sothing I’d like to know as well.
“…Okay. I can’t speak high and mighty about my experiences, but I’ll tell you what I’ve learned and need to be careful about.”
“That’s what I want to hear the most.”
Sohow…I wondered if this King, regardless of his position, saw as an equal friend, if he was willing to listen to about these things.
I felt a little happy about that.
