or break down in front of me.
No matter the outcome, I was bound to feel terrible.
Im sorry.
This is the only wa
Uh? What the heck are you talking about?
Freyas voice sharply returned my mind to reality, and even I was a bit surprised by that response.
Eh?
I mean, what are you talking about? Is it what I said about liking you? Why cant you just say that? Jeez, are you really that much of a wuss? Looks like I misjudged you.
O-ouch!!! Freyas words cut through me like a knife.
Now that I thought of it, she was Auroras daughter.
Back in the good ol days, her mother used to pick on me too.
Why did I even get involved with the daughter?
I-I see Were the only words I could say after recoiling from the emotional damage.
I couldnt even meet her gaze because she was currently staring at me condescendinglyalmost as though I was dirt.
Why did I even decide to be considerate with her? Crazy girl! It feels like Im the one being rejected!
Welp, either way, it seemed like everything still worked out.
I just had to take the win and call it Mission Complete.
W-well, then, I guess this is it.
Ill see you around.
Sharply turning from the girl, I quickened my pace and decided to vanish from her sight.
W-wait! Who did you choose, then? Lemi?
WHAT THE HECK!?! I didnt know when I shouted, once again facing Freya.
What gave the impression that I was even trying to get romantically entangled with my own daughter? What sort of disgusting pervert would I be to even do something like that?
So, thats a no? Thats a relief.
What was that for? Did she really have leftover feelings, and would be jealous if I picked her cousin over her?
Thank goodness, she doesnt have to be with a wuss like you.
Honestly, despite your valiant acts in the war, youre pathetic as a man.
More emotional damage coursed through me as I stared at the smiling Elf with a hurt expression.
W-why? Why do you feel the need to do this? I couldnt comprehend it.
Then, maybe Maria? Or someone else you have back home? She continued, looking at me with a curious gaze.
Women were hard to read when it came to stuff like this, and while my instincts were telling me she still had feelings for me, I wasnt arrogant enough to believe them.
She has moved on.
Thats good.
I smiled, recovering from the battering words she had given earlier.
None of them, Freya.
I smiled slowly, looking at the young Elf beauty.
To be honest, if I was to choose at this moment, it would be you
From a logical point of view, she was the best choice.
Not only were the others too young, but they didnt have too deep a connection to my past life.
Not only were the Elves close to the Fairiesby that, I meant JaneFreya was also cousins with Lemi, my daughter.
Aurora and I had a history as well, and the Elf Kingdom was a way more conducive environment for me.
She was a perfect candidate.
