Chapter 353 - 352. He Fell First, She Fell Harder (2)
I kept tabs on Silas and Alys after that and soon realized they were even closer than I had initially assumed.
Silas, the classic tsundere, had an amusing pattern when it came to Alys. He would storm into her lair, pick a fight over some trivial matter, and then return with a flushed face and an oddly dreamy smile—completely unaware of how transparent he was. It didn’t take much effort to confirm that he was hopelessly smitten.
Ruya and Darren, ever the keen observers, were my most reliable sources of information. They delivered their reports with an enthusiasm that could rival that of seasoned spies. According to them, Silas’s so-called arguments with Alys were less about actual disputes and more of a bizarre courtship ritual. Apparently, after every heated exchange, Silas would linger just a bit longer, his words becoming softer, his gaze lingering a little too much, only to stomp out at the last moment as if fleeing from his own emotions.
I couldn’t help but wonder—would he ever confess?
Being his favorite niece (a fact I shamelessly used to my advantage), I decided it was my duty to play cupid. Even my Patrons found amusement in this endeavor and, much to my delight, offered their divine counsel. Their messages arrived like sacred decrees, each one brimming with mischief.
[Giver of Gifts suggests a secret date.]
A secret date, huh? That could work. Perhaps I could arrange for them to "accidentally" cross paths in a scenic location—a quiet lake at sunset, a marketplace filled with soft lantern light, or even an old library where they would be forced to sit together and endure each other’s presence.
[Defender of Divine Glory suggests that you should first make them realise that they could form a romantic connection.]
"I could but, Silas being Silas he would try to evade and speaking of Alys then, she might flip if I told her that she and Silas could be-"
Just then my communication device started glowing, "Master! Master it’s an emergency!"
I heard the voice of one of my men, the communication device was only with specific people who were given special tasks.
