Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 32)
Ailuner said to Her Majesty the Queen in front of him, “Your Majesty, I adore you.”
As he spoke these words, he stared unblinkingly at Gu Shengyin.
Ailuner only felt that the surging thoughts in his heart could not be quelled; ever since that dream, the thoughts eager to be expressed could not be concealed.
He felt that if anything unforeseen were to happen in the future, the confession he had never voiced would certainly become his deepest regret.
At worst, he would be rejected, he thought.
At worst, he would be rejected by Her Majesty the Queen, and he could still stand far away, watching over her, guarding her.
Gu Shengyin looked deeply at the man before her, Ailuner, who had grown into an adult. His shoulders were broad, capable of shielding anyone from the wind and rain.
She had imagined that with Ailuner’s character, he would one day confess to her, but she had not expected that day to come so soon.
Perhaps, that dream had truly frightened him.
A feeling of compassion suddenly surged in Gu Shengyin’s heart.
She curved her lips into a smile and gently lifted her hand to embrace Ailuner’s waist as he awaited the verdict anxiously.
“I also hold Ailuner very dear…” The Queen let out a sigh from the corners of her lips.
Ailuner’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had imagined many possibilities: the Queen might coldly reject him, banishing him from the palace for daring to offend her; or the gentle Sovereign might decline him tactfully, or perhaps she’d simply take his words as a joke.
The possibility he longed for most, deep in his heart, he dared not even think of.
Yet Her Majesty the Queen spoke the words “I like you” nonetheless.
In the midst of his ecstasy, Ailuner felt some trepidation: he feared that the “like” the Queen uttered was not the kind he thought. Perhaps the Queen had not understood his meaning at all…
Ailuner, who had countless thoughts racing through his mind, appeared to have been subject to Binding Magic upon hearing Gu Shengyin’s words, completely frozen in place.
Gu Shengyin looked at her lover’s face, full of surprise and shock, and heaved a silent sigh.
But it roused Ailuner from his stupor.
By the time he regained his senses, Her Majesty the Queen had already stepped out of his embrace.
Ailuner touched his lips with his hand. Just now, Her Majesty the Queen, had actually…
Ailuner couldn’t describe his feelings; so the Queen held him in indeed high regard? Indeed, the Queen actually liked him!
His eyes, brimming with joy, gazed at Gu Shengyin standing not far away.
As if understanding his thoughts, she nodded gently with a smile.
Ailuner’s face couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
His cheeks flushed with color, he suddenly said softly, “Your Majesty the Queen, I… I…”
Gu Shengyin internally remarked on her lover’s unexpectedly shy and pure-hearted moment. She didn’t respond to Ailuner but watched him with a smile.
Ailuner understood her meaning.
He walked to her side, gazing at his Queen with devoted and adoring eyes.
Gu Shengyin could feel the cherish and adoration in that kiss, along with a hint of cautiousness.
A little girl burst into the great hall with a bang, curiously looking at the two people embracing each other.
