The Third Prince Of Darkness

Chapter 131 - 131: Noticed, and still unnoticed

"Well, if you want it that much, rejecting it wouldn't be very nice. Besides, upsetting a beautiful woman like you would be a disgrace to my masculinity," I said, matching her mocking tone.

The silver rings in Ellera's eyes began to spin faster than I had ever seen before. Yet, there was no expression on her face... I might have said she was just a bit shocked. The only thing out of place in her otherwise robotic demeanor were the silver rings in her eyes, spinning like a bicycle wheel.

"Are you serious?" she asked in a very low voice.

"Yes, I'm serious," I replied.

After my words, Ellera slowly straightened up and then reached out to me with open arms. Perhaps it was because she moved like an old woman, but she looked so sweet at that moment. After she reached me very slowly, she hesitantly hugged me. I swear I could feel the darkness within me reacting to this embrace. And when I looked at Ellera's face, it seemed as if the light within her had also responded.

"I'm glad to hear that..." Ellera said again in a low, robotic tone.

"Yes, me too... But Ellera, first of all, I'm wondering if you've forgotten something. As long as you're with me, you'll never have a child. Because we're of different species. Even so, are you still willing to stay with me?" I asked, addressing Ellera, who was still gently hugging me.

Ellera let go of me, pulled her face back, and looked at me with a strange expression. It was as if I had just told her that I had baked hundreds of people in an oven. Why was she looking at me with that expression?

"Ethan, what are you talking about... Don't you know?! You're the bearer of darkness, didn't you read that book?" she asked in astonishment.

"What book are you talking about?" I asked, equally surprised.

"The book about the previous bearer of the dark element! It's the only written source of information about the dark element, and you didn't read it? You didn't even know?"

I could honestly say it was the first time I'd heard about the thing Ellera was talking about. But why hadn't I heard of such a book? I had

I wasn't like this at first. Why do I act so strangely when I see him, and why does my heart beat so fast when I'm with him? Actually, I already knew the answer to those questions. I had fallen in love with Ethan. And in fact, I told him that straight to his face when I lost to him in that fight!

Thankfully, the adrenaline helped me muster up the courage to confess, but why does he act like that moment never even happened? Ugh! You're driving me crazy, Ethan! What, did you think it was just some insignificant joke when I told you I loved you?!

I confessed my love to you, man! Did you think it was a joke? Or did you just forget about it already?! I must be the fool for falling in love with someone like you. And now you still think the reason I'm with you is for some personal gain. When will you not realize that I am the strongest candidate for the throne of the Tamerid empire and that I can take the throne without anyone's help?

So what do I do now... When I confessed, I was riding a wave of adrenaline, and honestly, I didn't feel this strongly at the time. But now, these feelings are starting to drive me insane. I want to spend so much time with him! But while I'm feeling this way, what is he doing? Probably busy screwing those sluts that hang around him.

With all those women around, why would he even think about me?! I hate this situation!

But I'll get my revenge for making me feel this way. As much as I want to, I won't hurt you, but when the tournament you've been waiting for finally arrives, I'll make sure to give you a hard time as sweet revenge.

"Hehehe... You're going to have such a wonderful time, my love..."
