Angry Selena [1]

"Aita."

"What ?"

Aita turned around and saw Zack with his black spear.

"Come with me."

"Why ?"

"Sigh...to hunt of course. We have to eat something tonight."

Zack replied in a tired voice.

"You are stronger than me, right ? You can go alone."

Aita said, still fed up about his defeat.

"I see, you can cook by yourself then."

Zack smiled and walked off.

"..."

Aita got a flashback from his cooking of the day before and stood up slowly.

"I guess, I can help an old man."

Saying that, he walked ahead of Zack.

Zack shook his head and followed him.

"Be careful uncle, he may kill you in your back."

Selena said in a half-worried and half-mocking tone.

Aita ignored her and ran ahead.

"Don't worry, he wouldn't do that."

Zack said before running as well.

One hour later...

"Old man! You stole my prey!"

Aita complained in an angry tone.

"Calm down Aita. I just did it quickly as you were taking your time."

"What is happening ?"

Selena asked, peeking her head out of the cave's entrance.

They found the cave in the forest and they placed their camp here as it was a spacious place.

"He is angry that I killed his prey before him."

"You stole me!"

"Are you a child ?"

"I wanted to sacrifice it alive to the Goddess Freyja !"

Aita shouted with resentment.

Back then he would always hunt with Runa before sacrificing their prey to the Goddess Freyja.

Soren and Runa had great devotion to the Goddess Freyja.

Freyja was their protector for them.

Soren's mother would always say that.

Since then he would always pray to Freyja before the other gods.

"Goddess Freya ? Uncle, is there a goddess with such a name in the Dreamland continent ?"

Selena asked with a frown.

"No. There is no goddess like that..."

"You will never be worthy of Valhalla !"

"I don't even know what that is."

Zack replied, confused by Aita's strange behavior.

Usually he would act calm but sometimes he would change his behavior immediately like now.

Zack couldn't know that Aita and Soren's 'persona' were currently in disarray, thus the sudden shift of emotions.

"Come on, you can hunt after eating if you want."

"Tsk!"

Clicking his tongue, Aita walked in the cave, ignoring Selena.

"Did he relent because of the food ?"

Selena asked, surprised.

"Yes."

Zack laughed and entered the camp.

Few minutes later, Zack and Aita chopped up the deer.

Then something shocking Aita to the core happened

"What are you doing ?"

He asked, glancing at Selena.

"What are you talking about ?"

Selena was confused by Aita's question.

"Why are you the one cooking ?"

"What...?"

"Shouldn't a princess like you stay away from these commoners' jobs ?"

Aita asked, sarcastically.

Seeing that Selena was quiet, he continued.

"Are you sure you can cook ? I don't want to eat burned meat."

Honestly he had a bad impression of princesses' cooking.

When he was Soren, he met the princess Æthelswith, Alfred's younger sister and she was extremely bad at cooking.

Truthfully, he thought she wanted to kill him with food.

She was really a spoiled princess...

'And her brother was an asshole...'

"Y-You...!"

Selena was angry at Aita for looking down at her.

"I will beat up anyone insulting my sister!"

But before she replied someone did it.

Narvi, Selena's younger brother, snapped and jumped into Aita.

Squeezing his little fist, he tried to punch Aita who was smiling.

There was no doubt that he was enjoying Narvi's reaction.

"W-wait Narvi!"

-Whack!

"OUCH!"

Aita flicked hard at Narvi's forehead as if he was swatting away a mosquito.

A large red bump formed on Narvi's forehead.

It was really a ruthless action toward a child...

"Sniff...Sniff...wahhh! Sister!"

He immediately ran in Selena's embrace and cried out.

"It's okay Narvi, I'm here."

Selena patted Narvi's head and comforted him.

Then she glared at Aita fiercely.

"Is he really a prince ? At ten years old, I already killed more than hundreds of people."

Unfortunately for them, Aita's tongue was poisonous.

"Hope for your Empire that you are not the future ruler, I mean who would want a crybaby Emperor."

Each of his words pierced Narvi like needles.

"H-Hey! You are really a bastard!"

Selena shouted in anger.

"My bad, monster princess."

Aita replied with an unnecessary nickname in the end.

"M-Monster?!"

Selena put down Narvi and stood up.

"Yeah. I mean you are really a monster compared to the other princes and princesses. Be proud, you would have been a great warrior in my country."

Aita said, honestly impressed.

He had a grasp of the strength of the others he met during the banquet and he could say that only Prince Bryan from the Nychterin Empire could beat Selena.

For the others it would be extremely difficult.

"Monster princess is really a befitting nickname, right ?"

"Shut up! I don't want this nickname!"

Selena retorted red from anger.

"What ? You don't like the princess part ? How about monster woman ?"

Aita asked with a thoughtful expression.

He liked strong girls like Runa so he praised her in his own way.

Little did he know that his praises were not appreciated by Selena.

Orion's persona didn't help to understand her emotions either…

In fact Soren wasn't that clueless about reading the emotions of others but Aita and Orion were.

He wasn't just Soren anymore so his personality.

Now his personality was a merge of Orion, Aita and Soren.

"Enough!"

Unfortunately, from the outside, it could be just seen as Aita mocking Selena.

-Rumbleeeeee!

Selena channeled mana and transparent crystal spikes started emerging from the ground.

"I will close your poisonous tongue!"

"I see..."

Aita smiled as if he understood the truth of the universe.

"You also like to fight huh."

Saying that, he stood up to fight.

Selena was on the verge of losing her rationality now.

She was getting tired that he used any of her actions to prove that she was a battle maniac.

"Ahahahaha!"

Suddenly a loud laugh rang out.

Aita and Selena turned around and saw Zack laughing hard.
