(EP-274.2) Confession #2
274 – Reconciliation and Confession #2
“To say ‘you could say that’ is quite vague. But I heard that Sir Theo was raised in the Church’s orphanage...?”
“Well, that’s probably because both my parents passed away, and I was practically abandoned in the world. There’s no lie in that statement. I think...”
Now, I was not even sure myself.
I couldn’t be certain whether this half-fairy was raised in an orphanage or not. All I knew was the information that he was found in the Witch’s Forest in a log state. So, I decided to gloss over this part for now.
“Anyway, that’s not the important part. The point is that if my identity were ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) to be revealed, it would be quite troublesome.”
“Hmm...”

Mirna Draco.
She had dressed up quite elaborately today.
It was because Theo Gospel, the man she held in her heart, had invited her to a high-end establishment in Angmar. He mentioned having something important to discuss—a confession, perhaps?
At this point, what else could there be to confess between the half-fairy and herself? She couldn’t be sure, but a confession always had the power to make one’s heart race, whether for good or bad.
So, Mirna had made time in her busy schedule to attend. Although she was a bit disappointed that the annoying Lady Lioness was present too.
The key point was that she had noticed the half-fairy was struggling to say something big.
“If my identity were to be revealed..., it would cause all sorts of major issues and chaos. So, I hope that Lady Mirna could keep it a secret...”
She knew he was always cautious, but the fact that he was giving such repeated warnings and requests suggested that this was no ordinary matter.
A man who seemed somewhat unsettled.
Mirna decided to organize the situation based on what she had heard so far.
“So, in other words, Sir Theo is the last remaining descendant of a fallen noble family.”
“Exactly, you got it right.”
“That, well, I always knew Sir Theo was an extraordinary person.”
The half-fairy was a man of great etiquette and grace.
Though he occasionally showed the childlike tendencies of fairies. Setting that aside, he was a man who could enjoy elegant conversations and sophistication just as much as any noble.
If he had blue blood flowing through him, then everything that had happened until now made perfect sense.
Additionally, the fact that he was originally a noble heir wasn’t bad news for Mirna either. Nobles marrying nobles was highly desirable in the long-standing traditions of Angmar.
‘Of course, his rank might be a bit lower than mine...’
