“DO I hear jealousy from your voice?” Astrid asked in a teasing tone.
“Of course, I’m jealous. Who would want to hear the person they like talk about another person? And with so much interest too!” Wulfric said very indignantly, as if Astrid wronged him too much.
Astrid raised his brow. He didn’t expect the other to admit it so blatantly. He thought he would at least be embarrassed. Who would have thought he would react so refreshingly? No, Astrid should have probably expected this kind of reaction from Wulfric. Wasn’t this the guy who would straightforwardly admit to anyone who asked that he’s in love with him?
“Well, what can I do? The girl is really interesting,” he said with a shrug, acting like he didn’t notice the other sulking.
After he said that, Wulfric’s pout became more pronounced. He even muttered, “Hmp. There’s no way she could be more interesting than me.”
This time, Astrid no longer held back his laughter. “My dear prince, there’s absolutely nothing for you to worry about. I just met her today. Do you think I would suddenly develop feelings for her just because I found her interesting?”
“I know. But I just couldn’t help it. When it comes to you, I couldn’t help being possessive. I know it’s not a good trait to have. I promise I will try my best to tone it down.” As Wulfric said that last part, he looked like even he himself was not convinced that he could do it. “No, I will definitely do it,” he added with a bit more determination.
From the romance novels he had read, a lot of the male leads were usually possessive and obsessive. To the point that they would rather imprison the one they loved than to let them interact or be seen by others.
Although Wulfric also had those kinds of thoughts, he at least knew that it was bad. It was easy for him to do, especially since he had all the means to make that happen. But if he really did that, Astrid would never forgive him, much less love him.
If he and Astrid continued on like this, he knew that sooner or later he could make him truly fall for him. Didn’t Astrid also admit that his feelings were almost on the same level as his? Well, probably not almost, but it’s the same gist. So, why would he jeopardize that for these ugly thoughts that crawled inside his head from time to time?
Unaware of what Wulfric was currently thinking, Astrid chuckled, finding the other very cute. It’s good that Wulfric was very self-aware. At least he didn’t have to worry about being imprisoned in the future.
“By the way, I’ve read some of the comments on [Cyberspace]. Those jobless and insecure people were saying the nastiest shit. Why is your company staying silent? They should have sued all those trash by now.”
Wulfric said that at first to change the subject, but as he continued to speak, his anger rushed up again. Thinking back to those comments, he couldn’t stop the urge to assassinate those trolls. He took a deep breath to calm himself. If he didn’t calm down, he might just really order a hit on those people.
“Ah, that. It’s fine. Polaris will release a joint statement with ESRA to address the situation. The company is not neglecting me. They’re just making sure that they had gathered all the necessary information before releasing a statement. That way, people who questioned my eligibility wouldn’t be able to question my rank on the [Star List].”
Although Astrid was sure that those who didn’t like him would just believe whatever they wanted, regardless of the evidence. But at least his fans would have something to throw at those people whenever they bring up the topic of his ‘unfair’ [Star List] placement.
Wulfric scoffed, seemingly still dissatisfied. “And they took a week to do all that? If it was me, it wouldn’t even take three days. Should I just establish an entertainment company for you? I bet I could do a better job than your current company.”
Astrid blinked for a second, and then just laughed. “I don’t think one of the esteemed generals of our Empire has the time to make an entertainment company and look after my career. But just in case you really plan to do so, please don’t. Or else your lieutenant might really come after me with an axe.”
Wulfric wanted to say that Leland wouldn’t do that, but then promptly stopped himself. Although Leland was the most stable among his subordinates, he could be very unpredictable. Even more so that Hildred. And that already said a lot.
“Then your company should do a better job,” he could only say at the end.
To stop Wulfric from thinking about building his own entertainment company, Astrid promptly changed the topic. “But Wulf, have you finally created your own [Cyberspace] account? Or did you see those comments because of one of your captains, perhaps Hildred?”
He said that in a curious tone, but deep inside, he was already laughing. This was probably the third time he asked this question to the other. The first two times, Wulfric gave the same excuse – that he saw the news about Astrid from Hildred browsing the [Cyberspace].
As expected, panic flashed across Wulfric’s eyes. But he quickly hid it and even answered calmly. “Yes. Hil told it to me that’s why I found out about it.”
Look at this guy pretending. If Astrid didn’t yet know that the other was White Wolf – his self-proclaimed number one fan – he would have probably believed him. He wondered what Wulfric’s expression would be once he found out that he already knew about his ‘secret’.
That would certainly be amusing.
“Yeah, you’re so busy, how could you have time browsing [Cyberspace]?” he said while
nodding, acting as if he believed the other.
Wulfric looked guilty for a moment, which only made Astrid smile inwardly.
Really, it would truly be so much fun once this ‘truth’ was revealed.
