He paused, then chuckled. "So, I've decided to let Mother and Father try a little harder and give me a younger brother or sister. As for me, from now on, I belong only to you."
Hearing this, Nerida fell silent.
Her gaze fell upon Aeron's face.
At that moment, Nerida recalled what the madam had said about a "love-addled brain."
'The kind that has you digging up wild greens?'
Looking at him, Nerida couldn't help but think, 'A love-addled brain truly is a man's best dowry. What the madam said about it sounded terrifying, but if it's him, it's fine. After all, the object of his love-addled brain is me. So even if my Taoist Companion is a complete fool for love, I can handle it.'
Thinking of this, she said coolly, "You may have a love-addled brain, but it's okay. I won't let you end up digging for wild greens."
Aeron looked confused.
"Huh? What wild greens?"
Why on earth would he go digging for wild greens?
But that wasn't important.
