Does being older than mortal existence do this kind of stuff to you?
So what counts as true danger to them?
And if those guys break free from their shadow trap completely, they will co straight here looking for blood.
Can this situation possibly get any worse than it already is right now...?
Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have said that out loud at all...
Maybe I should have just kept quiet and not raised any unnecessary flags that could make things even more complicated.
"What should we do now, Benjamin," Tesa asked calmly, still grabbing firmly onto my arm without letting go, "as the King of Fairylynch, it is your duty to step up and lead us through this crisi—"
"King of what?! Please just shut up right now, I’m stressed out!" I bobbed my head lightly against hers in a gentle but frustrated tap.
Before us, pouring in like an unstoppable flood from the edge of the high cliff was a new fresh batch of Children surging forward in even more massive numbers.
I realized sothing important in that mont.
Since we were initially flirting and being close down there earlier, the Eldest Born had been looking a bit... miffed and irritated the whole ti.
And a while ago, she had also been staring intensely at Tesa and Tera too.
Don’t tell , she thinks they want to take my energy away from her for themselves? Is she jealous?
It seems all the titans desperately want my magic power and essence, so these two suddenly hogging so possessively might be pissing them off even more than we know.
Just a speculation though, there is nothing confird yet.
But wait, why did these twins suddenly start being all clingy and affectionate like this out of nowhere?
GASP!
Could it be...!
Do they also suspect sothing deeper is going on and were doing that on purpose to see if the Eldest Born would react visibly to it?
Maybe they know sothing important that I don’t?
These fairies are truly terrifying...
"Uhm, Tera and Tesa," I decided to ask directly to prove my growing suspicion, "You didn’t act like this toward at all before, so tell honestly, why are you suddenly being so nice to and acting all clingy and affectionate right now?"
The mont I asked that question, the girls looked at each other quickly, and then their faces went bright red with embarrassnt.
"We... we fell in love with you, that is the reason. We want to be with you forever too, just like the others."
"...?"
Tsk. My detective calculations were wrong!
But I looked deeply into their eyes and saw clearly that they were not lying at all...
Weirdly enough, they were truly being real.
But they actually do not take anything happening here seriously, besides clinging tightly to the one they apparently love with all their hearts.
When I rember back to the events I saw in Clay’s mories from earlier, they also seed quite selfish and self-centered too in many ways.
So, yeah, they might not care that much if Fairylynch got completely invaded and overrun, provided they didn’t personally have the power or the will to stop it from happening.
And maybe, with the background thought that Vaelora will just make another one, they were also lax.
So... were they truly in love with in a genuine romantic way?
Or did they simply want as part of their personal collection of treasures and valuable things they desired to keep close?
Well, what I know for sure without any doubt is that they do not want to fight those six powerful titans at all, and would rather avoid the confrontation completely if possible.
What I understand is, if we are going to defeat them once and for all, we should do so in one fell swoop without dragging it out any longer than necessary.
We must beat the Eldest Born above all else... she is the one creating those endless waves of Children over and over again without stopping.
I cannot kill her myself no matter how hard I try. And seriously, I don’t think the twins can either, even with their combined strength.
I have set up an Imaginary Barrier over the entire forest to protect it for now, but I can’t keep doing that forever because it drains too much energy.
I just have to be useful, too, in a more direct way.
Maybe if all three of us fight the Eldest Born together at the sa ti, we might actually stand a real chance of taking her down?
No, the other five would definitely interfere imdiately, and it might get quite bloody and dangerous for us in the process, with no guarantee of victory.
The Second and Third Born are particularly troubleso.
We could fight and defeat them individually, but having those two help the Eldest Born, who is already a handful, it will not be desirable.
Okay, I see.
The twins must have calculated this entire situation carefully before returning back here to my side.
But they could afford to show so real emotions and zeal once in a while, instead of staying so detached!
"Our character archetype is emotionless, please bear with us and accept it as it is," Tesa murmured softly against my left arm while still holding on tightly.
"Oh, so what you say you feel for is not emotional at all then?"
The two of them twitched noticeably, their long lashes flashing, and looked up at with wide eyes.
"It is real... I love you for real, and I an it, every word of it!"
"I was joking back there earlier, Benjamin. I fell in love with you last night during our ti together. And it is a true and genuine emotion that I can never deny anymore."
Tera and Tesa respectively replied without hesitation, their voices soft yet sincere, and their eyes serious.
Would you look at that... Now I was feeling a warm heat creep up my cheeks slowly from such a blatant and direct confession.
I have gotten confessed to so many tis now by different people, but I can’t seem to get used to it no matter how often it happens.
Anyway, how exactly do we kill the Eldest Born for good?
Where can I possibly get warriors who are even more powerful than to handle this difficult job properly?
