Chapter 503.2

“You’ve been planning to ask me this from the very beginning, right?” (Yuki)

“Well, don’t be so defensive. It’s a very personal matter. –I’m now married.” (Finar)

“Oh, married… wait, married!?” (Yuki)

I froze and looked like an idiot, making Finar laugh happily.

“Haha, that’s a good response. Yeah, I saw you guys before, and I really thought that having a family might be nice.” (Finar)

Then Enne, who had just been silently munching on a pastry, interjected, “…Congratulations, Uncle Finar. Having a family is good.”

“Thank you, Enne. Yeah, watching your family made me want a wife, as well.”

Enne replied, “…Hmm. I’m very happy every day. I’m sure you’ll be happy as well.”

“I envy you. I’ll have to do my best to have a family like yours.”

I looked at the two of them as they conversed leisurely and finally said something in return after recovering from my shock.

“Well, I guess…I can’t say I’m not impressed with your speed in deciding and then acting.”

It had only been about two months since the last time we walked around the royal capital of the Rogard Empire with this guy.

I remembered him saying at that time that he didn’t have a partner, but to go on from there and end up getting married… should I say, as expected of a King.

Now that I think about it, the other powerful leaders of countries I was acquainted with had also been thinking of similar things.

“Well, I am a king. If I wanted to, I could have any number of partners.”

Finar said with a cheerful face.

I was impressed, but for some reason, he gave an unusually bitter smile in response.

“It’s just that…well, how should I put it…I have never had this kind of experience at all. In fact, the girl had already caught me off guard a few times and I had been scolded. But I didn’t really know what I did wrong for her to be angry with me.”

…I could imagine the situation.

Finar was a genius at everything, but this guy was quick-witted, and from what I could gather, he liked things to be efficient.

In other words, his whole being centered on ‘reason’.

Ask anyone about Finar, and they would probably answer with the same response.

On the other hand, women did not think about relationships in terms of efficiency and reason, but more on emotion and sensitivity.

Those two sets of attributes (emotion and sensitivity) always caused a lot of inefficiency, something that Finar was not accustomed to.

If one who thinks with reason confronts someone who thinks with emotion, it would be reasonable to say that things would not go well.

“That’s why I wanted to ask Yuki, my senior, to teach me a lot about this aspect. I’m glad you came at the right time.”

“Didn’t you ask your subordinates?”

“Yes, I did. But, you know, I am still the King of a country. Everyone’s a little reserved in what they say.”

Ah, I see… they probably didn’t want to get involved in the King’s love life.

In that respect, perhaps I might certainly be better suited for the job.

But I have to admit that Finar’s problems were the same ones I worry about on a daily basis.

What I appreciated about the women in my family was that when I made a mistake, they would always give me a warning with a look of dismay on their faces.

So I was able to think about what I did wrong and what I should have done differently.

Well, I recently reanalyzed myself and thought… perhaps my long life span might have weakened my sex drive.

It was often said that the shorter the lifespan of a race, the more children they have. On the other hand, if they have a long life span, the number of children they have decreases, but there might also be other factors at play, of course.

And since I was a being that lived for more than a thousand years, my instinct for “survival of the species” was probably weaker than when I was a human.

Of course, when the time comes, and the adults in my household felt like doing it, I also get excited, to the point that I would even put my hands together in worship and gratitude when it happens, but other than those times, I usually didn’t have any sexual desire to do anything.

I have already lost most of my human aspects, but it was at times like this that I realized that my race had also molded my new way of thinking.

“Well… I can talk to you about it, but I’m also making a lot of mistakes every day, and I’m getting a lot of grief because of it.”

“But from what I saw at the Rogard Empire, you seemed to be getting along very well. You’re definitely doing better than I am. I’d love to know your secret in getting along with girls.”

That’s something I’d like to know as well.

“…Okay. I can’t speak high and mighty about my experiences, but I’ll tell you what I’ve learned and need to be careful about.”

“That’s what I want to hear the most.”

Somehow…I wondered if this King, regardless of his position, saw me as an equal friend, if he was willing to listen to me about these things.

I felt a little happy about that.
