That night.
After dinner.
Javier sat on the balcony, alone. Staring at the moon and the clear night sky scattered with stars.
Ferine.
Gumarak's daughter.
Man… I was hoping to get her as one of my harem, but it seems like she never really wanted that.
I thought maybe if she were with me, she'd stop trying to spy on Armand's weapons and tech. Or perhaps I could change her, make her fall in love with me. Share moments, make her happy, show her a life beyond scheming and spying. Make her forget about stealing secrets and just… be with me.
But I guess I was wrong, huh? Not every girl could fall for my handsome and charming face.
It's hard to make her fall for me for real. And she's the only dwarven girl I've ever met who doesn't have those bulky muscles or that stout, hardened look. She's… delicate, almost elven in her grace. It made her stand out. Maybe that's part of why she felt so different.
Man… I guess I'm dumb, huh?
