Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1412 - 44: Frustration
Previously on Demi-human Girls Completion Manual...
The corroboration from Giant Troll Elder Daliu at her side was like a bolt of lightning, utterly shattering Alagina’s very soul.
No matter how many difficulties she’d run into before, even when people like Elizabeth and Renie were contending with her over him, she hadn’t felt it was anything serious. Though she’d suffered setbacks in terms of circumstances, after all, nothing had been settled yet, and she still believed she had a chance...
But now, a woman who had actually, truly married Fisher stood right in front of her. As a native-born daughter of Sardinia, the impact on her was unprecedented.
The Iceberg Queen Alagina was instantly stunned on the spot, and the expressions of the companions at her side all shifted in different ways.
Pahetz froze for a moment too, suddenly going dumb on the spot.
In fact, from Pahetz’s perspective as an orthodox Sardinia woman, the union of their women and the Nali people was indeed rather strange. Under the influence of bloodline and culture, the genders of both sides had gradually converged and both tended to be very forceful. But in Pahetz’s eyes, Alagina and Fisher did not have such a problem.
Just like herself and Old Jack: although Old Jack was a Nali, in Pahetz’s view he didn’t have the faults the Nali were notorious for. He wasn’t promiscuous at all; he was very steady, very responsible, and extremely kind...
And as for her own Captain, although she was a Sardinia woman, her personality was very gentle, and when getting along with men and women she never came off as combative. On the contrary, she was very understanding, truly a rare, wonderful woman.
That Fisher indeed had some skills, but there was one thing that worried Pahetz a lot: that guy had way too many romantic entanglements trailing behind him; it would be all too easy for her Captain to end up with an endless stretch of green grassland growing on her head without even realizing it.
Because of this, Pahetz had discussed the matter with Alagina more than a few times.
As her elder and teacher, when it came to a lifelong partner, Pahetz had always tried to persuade Alagina to give up on Fisher, because she didn’t want Alagina to fall into that bad man’s trap of lust.
But whether it was because people always want most what they lack, no one could say; someone like Alagina—content with little, reserved by nature, a Sardinia woman through and through—actually had a taste for a dangerous bad man like Fisher. She was determined to let herself be tethered to him wholeheartedly. She had even carefully kept the paper airplane Fisher gave her with "My Queen" written on it.
Pahetz had truly run out of options. Feelings were something you simply couldn’t talk someone out of. But clearly, not long ago Alagina had still been happily telling Pahetz that four and a half years ago, after Fisher left the Northern Realm, even though something was clearly wrong with his body, he still came all the way to the Pirate Harbor to see her and Old Jack. That had moved her deeply.
At the time, Pahetz had even thought that this Nali brat Fisher was at least somewhat conscientious and hadn’t let Captain Alagina’s feelings go to waste. Over these years, even though Fisher had vanished without a trace, she’d stopped trying to persuade Alagina to give up.
Who could’ve known that after going through a whole heap of crap and danger, once they arrived at the Wutong Tree atop Sema Snow Mountain, they’d finally learn that—good grief—before Fisher left the Northern Realm to look for Alagina, he had already married this little girl from the Turand Family!!
Married!!
The nature of this matter was self-evident not only for Sardinia but for many nations across the Western Continent. Even in Nali, where family and social ethics dramas played out all the time, marriage itself was taken very seriously—let alone in the extremely traditional and devout Northern Realm and the various Kado countries.
The slightly wrinkled skin on Pahetz’s face wouldn’t stop trembling. She glanced at the completely frozen Alagina beside her and in that instant felt both sympathy and fury.
What she hadn’t expected was that the person even more worked up than Alagina wasn’t Alagina at all, but Isabella, who was standing by with a stunned expression.
This little Nali Princess, like a young leopard, slapped the table with a loud "bang" and shot to her feet, shouting in disbelief,
"Married... that... that’s impossible! Mr. Fischer absolutely couldn’t have married you, he clearly..."
Everyone’s gaze turned toward Isabella. Alagina’s expression was the most intense of all. With her brain a complete mush right now, she even thought Isabella was about to jump into this battlefield of feelings as well. But obviously, it wasn’t that there was some intimate relationship between Isabella and Fisher; in her eyes, Fisher was merely a familiar teacher and senior...
What truly had her worked up was her elder sister, Elizabeth.
As the younger sister whom Elizabeth loved most, Isabella had of course known from very early on about her sister’s feelings for Fisher, and also knew how they treasured each other. Ever since Elizabeth and Fisher met and fell in love, then later temporarily parted yet remained entangled like a severed lotus root with fibers still attached, she had always known that they hadn’t completely cut off contact. Their relationship was ambiguous, and even Nali society at large knew that Fisher belonged to the elder princess; thus not a single woman dared make a move on him.
And now you were telling Isabella that Fisher had actually married another woman besides her sister?
This was really...
No, Mr. Fischer would absolutely never do something like that. And once her sister found out about this, she was afraid that...
Facing Isabella’s words, Valentina’s expression curved into a faint smile. She had just opened her mouth to say something to reaffirm this indisputable fact when the Slime King, sitting beside her like a small mountain, spread his hands and said with a laugh,
