Book 15: Chapter 89
“So, Irina’s husband is a nice man?”
“Yep, yep. Troy can be considered a gentle man. It’s just that Irina is too good at pampering him. She doesn’t even let him brew tea. Geez, that Irina. Getting married is such a happy thing, yet she hid it from us. She wouldn’t even let us see her husband. Surely she’s too possessive?!”
Irina told Janet not to tell others, but the latter perceived it as something worth celebrating. After all, your friend being able to marry the one they love was something worth celebrating, wasn’t it? The other dragons were also very interested in the young man who randomly appeared all of a sudden, but Irina virtually never appeared again after getting married. When she did, she’d always brag about her husband, yet never let others meet him. You could say that Janet had captured a frontline base for them when she met the never-before-seen male dragon.
One of the young girls rested her chin on her palm. She looked to one side in a yearning manner and sighed: “That’s Irina for you. And thus, the first male dragon has been possessed just, like, that. I only just heard of him, and they’re already together.”
“Irina is a bit too much. It’s worth celebrating, so why not inform us? Moreover, we should do a get-together. What, she thinks we’d steal her husband? We’re friends; how could we steal from a friend? Additionally, that’s just shameless. Who’d do that? Surely Irina is a bit too cynical. With that said, do you think she’s nervous because she’s pregnant?”
“Unlikely if you ask me. Irina can still move about; plus, that’d be too soon, wouldn’t it? It’s not that easy to get pregnant. It should be very hard, right?”
The young girls discussed Irina’s pregnancy amongst themselves. For a mundane village, that sort of gossip between a man and a woman was a hot topic of discussion the girls could discuss for countless days. In addition, due to their age, they were curious and eager to see the man. They’d seen male elves before but never a pure-blooded male dragon. Even their fathers were elves, not pure-blooded dragons. As such, the young girls wanted to see a male dragon. After all, the young girls were at that age where there curiosity was at an all-time high.
“I think we can see him. Since Janet was able to go to Irina’s place, we should be able to, as well. We can come up with an excuse such as a ball or a gathering. Problem solved, right? I don’t think Irina would reject us if we went to her place to see the male dragon, right?”
“In reality, Irina will definitely refuse to let us see him… Didn’t I already tell you…? She didn’t want to let us see Troy. I bet she’ll definitely object to a gathering at her place,” argued Janet, with a hopeless shrug. “Irina has to go out to pick some herbs of some sort every day at the moment; otherwise, she stays at home with her husband. She has no interest in playing with us anymore. If we want to see her husband, I think we’ll need to find another excuse. Whose birthday is coming up? Oh yeah, it’s yours, isn’t it? Uhm, uhm. Perfect. Your birthday is coming up; let’s invite Irina and her husband. It’ll be up to them whether or not they come. If they don’t, we’ll sneak over to her house. Did you forget that Irina puts her key ab-.”
