why don't you go on a date with Vermouth?
Gaghakk. . .
This sudden and unexpected suggestion let Sienna and others spilled out a mouthful of wine that they about to swallow. Noir and melzri didn't do any effect to avoid the splash because both of them already at a distance from them.
Kehk. . . Heuk. . ghakk. .
The inflammation of the wine still causing their minds to go wild by noir ridiculous proposal. They can't think of vermouth will go on date with Ariartelle? That's can't be possible even in their imagination would vermouth have a romantic relationship with any woman.
Everyone aware of the fact Vermouth had married more than 10 wives and have dozens of descendants but that's was only solely purpose for reincarnating Hamel besides that Vermouth never genuinely cared about any of the woman he married nor even his own descendants.
So why noir had suggested Ariartelle to go on a date with vermouth. What if vermouth rejected her or make distance from her forever because of the unbelievable confession from a dragon like Ariartelle even vermouth would thought dragons are not like that type of race to build a relationship with anyone. . .
" Are you for real Noir? date with vermouth that can't be possible ". Seinna retorted and she clean the wine from our mouth.
" Sir Vermouth is not type of person who can really have genuine relationship with any woman? you also know that right?". Anise said a dry chuckle her throat choked with the wine.
Kristina and ceil didn't say anything because they thought it's be complicated to say anything. they know hamel but about vermouth can't be sure.
Ariartelle Squinted her eyes and she blinked multiples at noir in genuinely shocked expression. She felt like her mind burning like molten lava from the volcano her throat completely choked with mixed emotions and beyond embarrassed her whole body turned red like she was buried alive in flames.
" Calm down Ariartelle. . . Sienna and others. I know what you are thinking but this matter is serious Ariartelle emotions are genuine & pure for vermouth . . . Hmm and for vermouth I also know he's empty from inside. " Noir said in calm voice while rubbing her chin.
" Twilight goddess. . . I can't imagine to go a date with vermouth. . that's a " Ariartelle barely managed spat out words her insides was burning with flames.
" Ariartelle do you love vermouth or not? "Melzri simply asked.
Ariartelle keep her mouth shut and embrace herself to control her emotions she did slight nod without denied the fact .
She's finally understood the unknown emotions that she felt for him it's love even no one understand it but ariartelle know quite well it's pure emotions without any impurities.
" If you can't do it then someone else will do it. Ariartelle who knows? Maybe another woman confess her love to vermouth " Noir said stiffly.
" What you mean by that? Who's that woman. ? " Ariartelle quickly asked slightly anger look display on her face.
Sienna and others also gazed keep their on noir and ariartelle completely. They also were curious what noir was saying? .
" I don't know. . . who and when but if you delayed your confession to vermouth maybe another woman do it instead of you don't wait for him just catch him after all he's quite handsome getting another woman won't be difficult. " Noir warned her with a small smile.
Ariartelle didn't argue after noir words. She put her mind in deep contemplation that's true it maybe be possible, afterall, who don't want to get married to one of heroes who saved the world. every woman from the world have that desire.
Sienna and others also did a nod to accept the fact that's might be possible for vermouth getting another woman isn't a big deal for him.
Ariartelle thought it's undeniable truth. he had already married many women and even spawn descendants. she's imaging a relationship with a person who's also called 'Great ancestor' of the Lionheart family. Even she confessed her feelings to him what if happen next. . . could he accept her? As she considering this thoughts despair clearly shadowing her beautiful face.
" Ariartelle what are you thinking? did you thought it's impossible for you to form a relationship with Vermouth even I say with honesty. . . . that's maybe be true, after all, Vermouth didn't know what emotions or feelings? have a genuine relationship with any woman it's not possible for him " Noir said coldly without denied the fact.
Seinna and others wanted to say something in argue at noir words but they can't think of anything it's not complete truth. . . he maybe don't feel emotions with his heart but he cared for his friends but at the same they also he only did that thing because it's was responsibility and genuine trust between that he build with them but at the matter of love it's true. . . . he can't understand any emotions.
At the era of war, when vermouth had spend his journey with them. They never showed his true emotions what he felt, what his desires or dreams are? what he will do after saving the world did he don't want a peaceful life building a relationship with a woman and have a family . . . Such things didn't exist for vermouth but why? . . They don't know the answer to it.
" So that's true. . . I also thought similarly twilight goddess, maybe I should give up on my feelings for him.. even I confessed my feelings to him. he"ll definitely reject me..I don't think I can live properly after that rejection maybe I left so broken before that happen. I"ll go somewhere far from him to hide myself and live with one - sided feelings in the amidst of despair. . " Ariartelle said with a sad smile and her eyes brimmed with tears.
Sienna and others felt a nostalgia after her heartfelt confession they unconscious ly glanced at ciel who put her head down unable to meet their gazes. . . They turned their gazes again on ariartelle .
Sienna and others deeply felt bad for her maybe they do something for her to overcome her despair like they did with ciel. Especially ciel stared with a tearful expression she's know more than anyone how it's feel like when you desired someone more than anyone else and that rejects you. . . she already had undergo the same circumstances .
Melzri couldn't control anymore. . . her filthy nonsense make her greatly enraged she can't believe a dragon behave like this? despair for whom a man those things didn't exist for dragons, she throw a hard slap on on ariartelle face her turned to the side melzri didn't used any strength while slapping her but still blood dripped from her nose and her right cheek had became swollen.
Sienna and others greatly taken aback by this melzri goddess action why did she slapped her?. they stared at ariartelle with wide open eyes and slight fear on thier faces. But for kristiana and ciel this spectacle is not new they glanced at each other with a crumpled expression.. ciel also put her hand on both of her cheeks she also knew how many slaps did she get by kristina.
Ariartelle glanced at melzri with a fearful and confused expression why did she get slapped? She put her hand on her right cheek where did she get slapped. that's was too fierce for her even jaw bone twisted slightly by impact force. She is a dragon that's why she endured that impact force any normal human would had died by this slap only.
She wanted to ask why? but she didn't have courage to judge her goddess actions so she simply put her head down and keep her mouth glue shut.
" Melzri you didn't need to slapped her? why did you do that " Noir said with a shook of her head in disbelief.
" Your highness. . you also know that's was necessary this dragon embarrassing her kin. . saying she'll despair over just mere rejection by a man? How could you call yourself a dragon. . . A true dragon never run away like a pathetic coward. dragons are species to face challenge ahead even if you face death ". Melzri excused her actions and stated in a dignified tone. .
Seinna and others couldn't help but feel awe and admiration by goddess melzri that's was absolutely true run like a coward such things didn't exist for dignified species like dragons.
Ariartelle just stayed silent and didn't say anything because there is nothing left to say. why did she forgot she's a dragon how could she behave like this? saying despair? Run like a coward? she didn't believe on herself such words would come from her mouth one day. She wanted to leave immediately. . before she emerged from the pond.
" Don't even think to go anywhere Ariartelle I won't hesitate to kill you right now for embarrassing me and no one will stop me not even her highness " Melzri gripped her wrist and said in a threatened voice.
Seinna and others keep their distance from melzri with genuine fear on each of their faces. they hold each of their hands and sticked close to each other they all well aware how terrifying the wrath of goddess melzri was when she get angry.
Mer and rai hugged each other with terrified expression both of their bodies were trembling tremendous.
Ariartelle gazed at noir who shook her head to get her know she won't do a thing to stop melzri goddess. she believed it's would be better if she just do what they said without any argument. She soaked herself and embrace her body while shivering with tremors.
" Ariartelle listen to me calmly. . . Before you do anything uncertain or misfortune it's be beneficial for you to listen what I'm going to say to neither me or melzri want you to fall despair and run why would you do such a thing. . . when I did say vermouth will really reject you. . " Noir said in a polite tone.
Ariartelle can't understand what noir was saying just a moment ago she herself ha said that Vermouth can't love any woman it's not possible for him but why she giving such a fake hope? but still she did a slight nod to listen what she wanted to say.
" You may be aware vermouth is the ego of destruction that thing didn't have any emotions and that also applied to vermouth even you don't want to admit he still a clone of that thing. . " Noir sighed deeply and said in low voice.
" Yes! I'm aware of that fact so that's the reason vermouth didn't have genuine emotions? " Ariartelle calmly the truth and then she questioned.
" No it's not completely true he have emotions but he don't know to how to feel or express it ... what you need do to make him feel special that he's not a just a mere clone but a human who also have rights for desires and dreams like others. " Noir responded in solemn tone.
Ariartelle didn't muttered a word and calmly listen to noir because this is getting to important for now make vermouth feel special how could she do a such thing? .
" Vermouth is broken and empty from inside. he don't have any dreams or desires? he don't think such things could exist for him. could he allow himself do . . Maybe world didn't treat him like a clone of destruction but vermouth treat himself like he just mere clone.. no one can understand what he truly felt from inside. " Noir said with a sad voice.
Sienna and anise thought with a tearful and guilty expression how they call themselves a friend of him? when they never tried to understand what he truly felt? a clone of that thing they didn't know what it's feel like to be someone's clone.
" Ariartelle if you really loved him.. filled that empty spot in his heart and make him feel special that's someone was there for him who genuinely cared for him even more than her own life. tried to understand him spend time with him altogether it's won't happen in a day but one day he"ll look at you at the same way as you did for him. " Noir encouraged her and gave her a bright smile.
Seinna and others just felt awe at noir. they didn't thought do such a thing for anyone. . . encouraging someone and giving hope at this matter. it's not possible for them but noir was different she don't say anything without getting results.
" Pardon me.. Twilight goddess but why are you doing too much for me? giving me hope and saying I can filled that empty spot in his heart. I don't think it's was possible for me and I also don't know who you really are? . " Ariartelle said in a suspicious tone.
At this response, melzri cheeks twitched slightly in frustration. She glared at ariartelle with her icy cold subdued eyes but ariartelle covered her both cheeks with her hands. She turned her gaze from her. she don't want another slapped by melzri goddess.
" Who I am? you we're curious about my identity? . . Fine then I"ll tell you I'm noir giabilla that same noir giabilla who once called queen of the night demons, duke of Helmuth, ruler of the dreamea and the most famous businesswoman throughout the world. " Noir declared in a soft tone.
" queen of the night demons.. . noir giabilla?. Ariartelle perplexed.
" that's right Ariartelle... My real name is aria you may be aware hamel had a saint in his time as agorath and I'm his saint that time just like he reincarnated as hamel and eugene.. I also reincarnated as noir giabilla and this child it's his and my child. " Noir said with wry smile and gaze over her own child.
Ariartelle just held her tongue she was greatly surprised by this revelation her and hamel child? his saint reincarnated as demonfolk? and now she became a goddess? and even have a new body how this possible she already died by Eugene hands and lived just weeks in a doll body.
" That was enough... Ariartelle I tell you everything her highness tragic past.. Her reincarnation , fate and everything later so don't think much and calmly accept the her highness words ". Melzri did a short sighed and said calmly to her.
Ariartelle did a quick nod she wasn't in hurry to understand everything she'll wait to listen the full story but first there is a different matter now that was much more important for her than knowing the truth.
" As your question.. why I did for you? because I'm a goddess who loved by many races just like my believers loved me I also did the same for them. . and you're not different ariartelle I want you to achieve your dream and desires to make vermouth fall for you. " Noir proud dly with a gentle smile.
" it's possible for me? I"ll do my best even he reject me I won't despair and give up on him.. And one day I"ll make him feel to understand that's he not a clone... he also have rights to live his life to the fullest ".Ariartelle promised with a serious expression.
