This BL Novel Is Ruined Now - Chapter 258
Chapter 258
Translator: Yonnee
—
“Really?”
“Yes.”
It’s clear from his expression that wasn’t exactly pleased, but he didn’t seem to be lying either.
As she was surprised by his unexpected proposal, Reina’s lips opened and closed without saying a word. He tidied her disheveled hair and kissed the corners of her eyes.
“In fact, while you were in the Dwarven Principality, I received a warning.”
The story he then told was astonishing.
“It was a warning that your enemy had taken action. So, I focused all my nerves on ensuring your safety.”
“So that’s why…”
It made sense why he had tried to lock her up in the Palace of the Thirteenth Moon, like dealing with someone unreasonable.
The pieces that hadn’t fit together began to make sense.
“You should have told me earlier, Ethan.”
He chuckled softly in response.
“If I had, you would surely have gone out to confront whoever was mentioned as the ‘enemy’ yourself.”
“……”
Ethan now knew Reina better than even her own parents.
“Uh… I can’t exactly deny that.”
Reina slightly scratched her cheek and rolled her eyes.
‘Was that letter sent by Paul?’
Given Paul’s behavior towards Reina, could it be?
‘How much does Ethan know?’
Reina hesitated for a moment as she moistened her dry lips. Then, realizing it was a pointless worry, she shook her head.
‘There’s no need to hide this from Ethan.’
While the story of reincarnation was unavoidable, Reina now wanted to be as open with Ethan as possible.
“Ethan… I think that letter was probably sent by Paul.”
She had decided to confess, but she still worried inwardly.
Reina was particularly sensitive to matters concerning her safety, and Ethan might naturally be wary of Paul Bohr, who is, after all, Grace Bohr’s son.
But Reina’s worries were unnecessary.
“I already knew.”
“You did? How?”
She knew because she had directly dealt with Paul…
“When we were searching for you, I visited the Bohr domain, and I met with Paul then.”
“Oh… So Paul told you?”
“No, he didn’t.”
Confused about how he knew Paul’s circumstances, she tilted her head in puzzlement.
Then an unexpected bombshell dropped.
“Reina. I can hear people’s thoughts.”
“Cough… What?”
Although she had suspected it, hearing it so suddenly in this situation was startling.
Unsure how to react, she rolled her eyes slightly, and Ethan warmly clasped her hands.
“I knew it. You received a letter from the First Emperor, didn’t you?”
“Uh… yes.”
Now that it was out, there was no need to pretend it was the first time she was hearing it. So she honestly admitted it and nodded.
“Actually, when I first met Her Majesty, I didn’t quite understand everything, but I vaguely heard about it.”
He also seemed to have somewhat sensed this fact.
“Thank you for waiting until I was ready to talk about it.”
His sincere thanks passed, and a small worry crossed her mind.
‘Maybe I should talk about it now…’
But what?
She had long decided not to talk about her reincarnation. It was no longer a story connected to her survival, nor did her vague past life exert any significant influence on her current life.
‘The technologies being developed at Resa are all based on ideas from my past life, so there is a connection…’
But Ethan wasn’t the type to ask, ‘How did you come up with such a thing?’
Right. He was not one to dwell on the past and miss the present. He was immersed in every moment he shared with Reina, focusing more than anyone else on the ‘Reina Chant’ of the present.
‘Thanks to him, I could also step out of the shadows of my past life.’
But did she really need to bring up reincarnation?
As she sorted through these thoughts, a sudden question popped into Reina’s mind.
‘Wait a minute. If he can hear thoughts… Does that mean he’s been listening to all this?’
As the thought reached this point, she suddenly felt as though she was standing naked in the middle of a plaza.
As her face began to flush, Ethan, noticing her reddened ears, gently caressed them and whispered.
“But strangely, I can’t hear your inner thoughts, Reina.”
“…What?”
Reina blinked in confusion, and he gently curved the corners of his mouth.
“It seems like we’re a match made in heaven, aren’t we? Among everyone whose minds I can hear, only yours, Reina, remains elusive to me.”
“……”
Ethan’s not quite confession.
For some reason, a bitter taste swirled in Reina’s mouth.
‘If Ethan could hear my inner thoughts too…’
Would he have come to like me?
It was an instinctive thought.
‘Curiosity… perhaps I provided something that others couldn’t satisfy for Ethan.’
Not just something like destined love.
