Chapter 455: Alwin’s Presence Vanished
It meant Ferdinand was indeed just a child, someone akin to a toddler or even younger when he met Ellie since he could not even take human form.
And when Ferdinand began to raise the second generation of dragons, he was akin to just 15-16 years old even though he was already an ancient creation back then when judged by humans.
After Ferdinand explained to her, Arabella decided to tell him the real reason why Eliana left his side. Perhaps it was because Eliana’s soul was hers now, Arabella didn’t want the misunderstanding to remain as it was.
"Eliana did not leave you because she thought you couldn’t sire a child. It was because she loved you so much that she decided to let go when she thought you didn’t want her by your side the way she does."
Arabella explained that Eliana misunderstood his body’s lack of reaction to her touch, and his lack of sexual desire for her, to mean that he was never interested in her as a woman in the first place. That she merely assumed he was into her too. Or that her excessive attention for Ferdinand pressured him to accept her even when he truly couldn’t.
"She thought she was forcing you, so she decided to let go so you can find happiness with whoever you would love and desire in the future."
’And it just happened to be me. Or was it because of all those times they encountered each other that I became Ferdinand’s mate? Did the gods decide to meddle because we failed too much?’
"I see. Thank you for telling me," Ferdinand was relieved.
Arabella learned from her husband that a thousand years after Eliana left him, she got married to another celestial being and later, had children.
