Without any surprise, Lumia’s mouth was covered by Melika again.
“You can’t say that.” Melika covered Lumia’s mouth and said seriously, “Vivian already said that this is a very important matter, related to the future of the three realms and the three races, so we can’t pry or talk about it carelessly. Did you forget?”
Lumia finally reacted and looked at Melika with an apologetic expression.
“You can’t talk about this casually anymore, okay?” Melika released Lumia, but still reminded her worriedly, “You can’t even talk about it at home, okay?”
“I understand.” Lumia said with a bitter face. “I won’t say it or ask about it anymore.”
“That’s good.” Melika was finally relieved.
Compared to the clueless Lumia, Melika had long since confirmed that Shien was actually the Hero.
Although she didn’t know why a Hero would suddenly appear, recalling Shien’s various mysterious aspects and his lack of common sense about this world, Melika was basically certain that Shien was the Hero from another world.
But there must be a deep and hidden reason behind this matter.
A thousand years later, with the Hero Summoning Ritual sealed, why would a Hero suddenly appear?
Just thinking about it, Melika knew how serious the hidden reason must be.
And Shien, caught in this maelstrom, might not be in a good situation.
Therefore, Melika had long since made up her mind to help Shien keep his secret no matter what.
However…
(Only someone as outstanding as Princess Lucy is worthy of being the Hero’s partner, right?)
Thinking of this, Melika couldn’t help but sigh again.
“Ah, you sighed again.” Lumia said in confusion. “What are you thinking, Melika?”
“I… I’m not really thinking about anything.” Melika stammered, then said with some confusion, “I just don’t know what to do next.”
Melika was indeed thinking about this.
Although Melika was envious and surprised by Shien and Lucy’s marriage, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
As she thought, since Shien was the Hero, it seemed normal for him to marry Lucy, a Hero candidate.
The problem was, the person she admired was about to get married, so what should she do?
Should she continue interacting with him while hiding her feelings like before?
Or should she give up on this unrealistic fantasy and face reality?
She was just an ordinary elf. In the eyes of others, elves might be noble and pure, but if the other party was the Hero, how could an ordinary elf like her be worthy of being by his side?
What should she do?
Melika was lost in thought.
She didn’t notice that among the surrounding crowd, a pair of eyes were fixed on her.
Those eyes were filled with surprise, amazement, and… lustful desire.
