Chapter 366: This Boy Might Be My Ticket Out Of Here!

Alma POV 2/17

—–

Elred Flowerbed was a shy boy, he didn’t know how to properly speak to me. Every time I spoke, he froze in time and got as red as a tomato could get. His cute elven ears twitched around every time I called him by his name…

“Elred…” I asked.

“Y-Yes?!” he reacted.

“…You’re way too nervous, relax a bit.” I sighed.

“I-Its just that… I… I-It’s hard to talk when Lady Alma is so overwhelmingly beautiful…” he said.

“Huh, despite being timid you’re pretty bold, aren’t you?” I asked while raising an eyebrow.

“Uwah! S-Sorry! W-Was that disrespectful, your highness?!” he asked, as he bowed his head several times. This boy is stiff, he can’t really relax.

“A bit, but I’ll let it slide… Now, since when did this marriage was arranged, Elred? I didn’t even know about it until the last few days. My parents barely come to visit me, the last time they did was several days ago.” I said.

“Eh? Y-Your parents aren’t with you, your highness? I-I am sorry to hear that… it must be harsh…”

The boy suddenly got all sad for me, as if I were suffering for it. Well, I am, but not for you to cry like a girl.

“Nah, don’t worry. I am strong.” I said, while giving him a wink.

“Ahh… I-I can’t possibly think about a life without my parents at my side… to think that you’ve done it for so long… You’re very strong indeed, your highness.” He said.

“Just call me Alma, I don’t like formalities,” I said.

“J-Just Alma? B-But that’s disrespectful!” he said.

“Not really, calm down for a bit and listen, I don’t like formalities, they feel stiff, and they form a barrier between people. If you want to one day become my husband, we’ll have to refer to each other by our names to form a better bond, so listen well, refer to me with my name from now on, get it, Elred?” I asked. I was a bit domineering, but this boy needed to be corrected quickly. And I could tell he was a mama’s boy, so a woman that co uld dominate him was the best thing. He was perfect for me if I cou ld use his influence and his Nation… Maybe there could be a place I could run away to after escaping Greenwood’s hideout.

After my words, which were more like an order, he nodded and seemed to get redder, steam came out of his elven ears as they twitched around.

“Y-Yes! I-I will… A-Alma…” he said, his lips trembling a bit as he averted his gaze from me only to look at me again from time to time. I have to admit it, he’s really cute.

“Now, Elred, let’s go back to the topic. When did your parents arrange this?” I asked.

“I-I… I don’t know when it happened exactly, but they told me about two weeks ago… t-they showed me a portrait of you, and since then I… I…”

“I see. So two weeks… Is this a decision of my parents too? But why? I will end up being abducted by Greenwood anyways, this seems pointless if I will be gone forever…” I muttered to myself.

“A-Abduct?!” he asked.

“(She heard you, Alma! Why do you tend talk your thoughts out?! I’ll silence the kid for you!)” said Dagger, about to stab the boy in the heart, he seemed jealous of him for some reason. To be expected of this perverted lolicon dagger.

“(Stop, you idiot! Don’t do anything rash or I’ll never hold you again!)” I said.

“(Ungkh?! A-Alma, how could you say that?! Anything but that!)” he cried.

Ah, he’s such an idiot.

“Don’t worry about it, I am just talking nonsense sometimes. I tend to think many things… Ugh, I am so bored being in this castle forever… Elred, would you one day promise me to bring me to your Nation? I want to see how it is compared to here.” I said.

“E-Eh? O-Of course! I can… I will!” he said.

“Ah, you’re a good boy, aren’t you?” I said while smiling cutely at him, I looked him straight to his eyes with my cutes t smile, he began to literally melt before me.

“T-Thank you…” he said.

Rose came into the room once more and interrupted our little secret talk. She brought tea and sweets such as cookies and cakes, I began to eat cookies while drinking tea, while Elred enjoyed a cheesecake.

He was very passive, so he remained mostly silent unless I spoke to him. I could tell he was having a hard time formulating any words out of his mind.

He had brought his own butler, but he was waiting outside.

“Rose, you can leave now. I want to be with… my future husband the two of us.” I said.

“O-Oh… very well…” said Rose. She got happy for some reason, as she walked outside.

“A-Alma, you’re okay with me being your husband… I-I mean, future husband?” he asked.

“To tell you the truth, not really, but it’s not like I have any other options, and you’re not half-bad yourself, Elred. Maybe we could build our relationship some more… with time.” I said.

“Ahh… I-I see… I guess things can’t begin quickly… And we are also young too! I-I could come as much as you want! I have a lot of free time.” Said Elred.

“Oh? How about coming every day of the week?” I asked.

“E-Everyday?! I… I don’t think I can, but I could come every other day, maybe stay the weekend if you want… there’s a teleportation gate that can lead us here instantly from my nation.” Said the boy.

“I see! Then do just that!” I said.

I had plans, if I can really beco me good friends with Elred there might be a ticket for me to get out of this predicament… or maybe not. I will have to see first.
