Chapter 111: The Disliked Elven Queen

Chapter 111: The Disliked Elven Queen

If things go awry, the Elven Race will suffer greatly.

The losses from last time still haven’t been fully recovered, and should another blow come, the Elven Race might have to exit the stage of history altogether.

Pulling her thoughts back, Airael looked at Axi and asked a question that mattered deeply to her: “So, which Elven Queen are you going to marry next?”

Although Ailia and the Elven Queen are both her, their natures are completely different.

“Ailia, I already have you.”

In response, Axi looked at Airael earnestly.

“Even if she were exceptional, I wouldn’t marry her because I’m responsible for you.”

Upon hearing this answer, Airael felt her cheeks warm slightly.

It couldn’t be denied that paired with Axi’s handsome and earnest demeanor, along with the talent he had already displayed, it was incredibly easy to be moved by him.

And from this, it was clear that Axi hadn’t completely lost his mind to desires.

So, there’s still hope for him!

As for Axi’s earlier behavior, Airael believed it was influenced by the Sword of the King.

The Sword of the King amplified the underlying desire in his heart.

While Victor’s incident did have some impact on him, it couldn’t possibly be that significant.

Airael could tell that Axi’s previous distaste for hypocritical interactions with the royal nobles came from a genuine place.

As for Axi’s identity, Airael ultimately didn’t care much anymore after some inner turmoil.

What did it matter now? The situation had already occurred.

There’s no medicine for regrets in this world.

Furthermore, Alexander, Victor, and Suratu were all dead.

Arguing with the dead was pointless; she needed to focus on the future.

Speaking of the future, she intended to stick with Axi to figure out what the Sword of the King was all about.

She could practically confirm it now.

The familiar feeling should come from the Sword of the King.

And she needed to uncover its secrets.

Besides being the Sword of Desire, it undoubtedly held other unknown matters.

She had to clear it all up.

Otherwise, it would truly be in vain!

Wait, it shouldn’t even be called in vain.

Since she had already had relations with Axi, she planned to maintain that connection until she became pregnant.

In that case, she’d be having a child.

A child that was bound to be extraordinary.

On this point, Airael had long since reconciled.

She was no longer affected by the obstacles of her past life.

After all, reproducing was an instinct deeply rooted in every creature’s core.

And her child would represent not just her own continuation.

After all this said, when she chose to be with Axi, her heart didn’t entertain many emotional factors.

What she wished for was simply a child.

But now, facing this version of Axi, Airael felt a flutter in her heart.

That feeling was beyond explanation.

She didn’t even realize how she suddenly felt this way; a mere sweet nothings had charmed her.

Seeing the shy Airael, Axi walked over and, taking advantage of her moment of distraction, pulled her into his embrace and asked, “Ailia, do you want to be my queen?”

However, the next moment, Airael struggled to break free from his arms.

Axi looked at Airael in confusion.

Weren’t they fine just a moment ago?

Why did she refuse him?

With doubt in his heart, he asked, “Ailia, don’t you plan to be with me?”

“You wish! I only agreed to date you before, and what happened just now was merely because your sword was acting up. I never said I would marry you.”

Airael replied, still blushing.

Although Axi’s sweet words had left her flustered, she managed to find a solid reason to reject him.

He did say he didn’t want to marry the Elven Queen, and she was the Elven Queen—Airael.

Though she was also his current girlfriend—Ailia.

Thinking about how her identity as the Elven Queen was so scorned by him, Airael felt a pang of unhappiness.

Axi, completely unaware, shrugged off her rejection.

He didn’t think much of it, believing that Airael must simply be too shy to admit her feelings.

After all, her face was flushed, making her look absolutely adorable.

He smiled slightly and said, “Alright, Ailia, I’ve said everything I needed to say and cleared up my end. Let’s go have some food together!”

“Okay!”

Airael nodded in agreement and followed Axi downstairs.

At that moment, she really was quite hungry.

Since they had mostly finished their discussion, it was time to focus on food.

She couldn’t let herself starve.

After all, she needed to prepare for pregnancy.

As a mother, she had to keep in good health.

Thinking about having a baby again made Airael’s cheeks flush.

Because it meant that for a long time ahead, she’d be engaging in certain indescribable activities with Axi.

You should know that elves find it hard to conceive.

Even if her partner was human, the difficulty wouldn’t drop much.

Perhaps she should find some special potions to assist and improve the chances of success.

Following Axi to the first floor of the inn, Airael’s face blushed even more as she thought of something.

Unaware of Airael’s unusual demeanor, Axi asked the innkeeper for some food.

The inn also offered meals.

And the food quality was not inferior to that of some specialized restaurants.

Just that the costs weren’t exactly cheap.

Fortunately, as a high-level mercenary, Axi, while generally spending a lot, had saved up a decent amount.

When it was time to enjoy, he wouldn’t shortchange himself.

Not to mention, at that moment, he had a “burden” by his side that needed careful attention.

Even if Airael hadn’t explicitly stated it, Axi could sense she was a delicate person.

While she could endure hardship, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t want to enjoy life.

At the dining table, as they ate, Axi frequently checked in with Airael.

This was all quite different from before.

After all, their relationship had changed, especially after Axi had put Airael through quite the ordeal.

He intended to care for her well.

Airael was taken aback by this sudden attentiveness.

It seemed she was still more accustomed to the aloof Axi.

Though this caring side of Axi was nice, she was afraid she might unwittingly become lost in it!

Their relationship was already quite complicated.

“Axi, you don’t need to concern yourself too much with me. Besides, I did most of the eating just now; you hardly had any.”

In the end, Airael looked at Axi and said.
