(EP-79.2) Fight #5
079 – Fight Of The Tigers #5
“You look like someone who wants to confess.”
“Well, in a way, it can be seen as a confession….”
“Huh, what does that mean? Stop being so confusing and just tell me quickly!”
Narmi’s curiosity sparked. For me though, it was a matter of survival.
I decided to speak frankly.
“I’ve committed a great mistake to Mirna-nim.”
“You did something to my sister? What are you talking about?”
“I, I proposed to her.”
“You proposed!?”
Stomp-.
Narmi’s steps stopped, which mine also mirrored.
Narmi then asked in incomprehension.
“What do you mean you proposed to my sister!? Theo, don’t you have Lady Elga!?”
So far, this was the reaction that I expected.
“So what, you’re going to two-time them!?”
‘Two-time’. For a self-proclaimed love doctor, her vocabulary was pretty good.
However, it was an impossible feat. My cro†ch would be ripped to pieces once exposed.
In fact, Elga and Mirna would probably straight up slice me in half…
“Mirna-nim seems to have misunderstood a little, she doesn’t know that I’m seeing Elga-nim.”
“What does that have to do with courting my sister?”
“Whenever I saw Mirna-nim, I would think of Narmi-nim. That’s why I always act friendly and kind to her. She seemed to have mistook my intentions and thought that I’m doing this because I like her.”
“Heueng-. I see… So you’re saying that my sister misunderstood all this by herself?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“My sister indeed has a blind side… Hmm, this is a big deal. If she finds out that it’s her misunderstanding, she might kill you out of shame.”
“… No, it’s not my fault, is it?”
“Well, she is like that. Right, to sum it up. Theo, you don’t like my sister, yes?”
“We haven’t really talked that much. Of course, she’s really attractive…. And maybe if we get to know each other more, I might ask her out, but….”
Perhaps it was because of my vague answer, but Narmi raised her index finger.
“Theo, regardless if the Church’s or Angmar’s law allows one to have multiple wives, you have to think this through. After all, most Kings of Angmar who made harems were all killed by their wives.”
“Harem?”
“Don’t you know King Alibar Angmar and his harem of 40? Angmar Kings were generally rumored to have a lot of spouses. Even Queen Kalista had 12 husbands.”
‘I see.’
This was new information. It was as if having multiple women ran in the blood of Angmar’s.
Well, it could also just be politics. Marrying influential nobles and aristocrats for political stability.
In fact, that was basically what I was trying to do too.
Building productive relationships with different big families, such as the Lioness and Draco Family, to lead my family, country and life to a happy ending.
“And if you court my sister, I’m with her as well. Did she even talk about me?”
“No.”
Seemingly disappointed by my firm answer, Narmi’s silver hair drooped down.
“I guess having two souls in one body is something you have to keep a secret….”
“… Eum.”
Anyone who married Mirna would inevitably live with Narmi as well. You simply could not separate the two.
Marrying a woman with two souls…
It felt eerie. However, there was nothing wrong with Narmi. She was kind, cheerful, and compassionate in her own way.
If someone were to ask me who I would date among the women around me, Narmi was definitely at the top of the list.
Thus, I directly replied.
“I think that’s a good thing. There are a lot of men in the world with an open mind like me.”
It was like a mall promotion, ‘Marry a wife, get one sister-in-law for free!’ I was going to make a joke about it, but held it in lest Narmi started despising me.
But Narmi was already flustered.
“… You think it’s good? Theo, you’re okay with an unusual twin sister?”
“Yes.”
“I, I suppose!”
Narmi’s face turned bright red. I was afraid that Narmi might misunderstand my words as a confession, so I hastily added.
“So yeah, there is a misunderstanding in courting Mirna-nim.”
“Eung-eung, that’s true. Alright-. I’ll try my best to help you. Though, it would be better if you go along for the time being.”
“Would that be good?”
“My sister gets tired of things quickly. Perhaps, this will be over in a few days.”
Narmi gave me serious advice as if it were her job.
My nose twitched, thinking of the only other time I’d received such a favor, which was when I got the Imp Tail Wand from Marmar.
“Narmi-nim, I’m sorry that I only ask you for help every time.”
“It’s okay! It’s nice to have someone to talk to. Except for my sister, you are the only one I could converse with. I’m like the far side of the moon that no one sees…”
Under the pure white moonlight of the full moon, Narmi brightly smiled.
Her hair swaying in the gentle breeze, her ruby red eyes…. You could see everything.
The far side of the moon.
It was a very appropriate description of Narmi, but it felt bitter.
“It’s getting cold, let’s get inside!”
