Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 23) Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 23) Gu Shengyin heard the words and immediately became concerned, “Ailuner, what’s wrong with you?”

Ailuner began to speak slowly, “I don’t know when it started, but my attention has always been on Your Majesty. I am increasingly discovering that I feel unhappy when I see you smiling at others; I feel jealous when I see you showing a tender expression to others; I hope your gaze can always stay on me…”

The expression on Ailuner’s face was one of distress as he looked at Gu Shengyin with melancholy, “Your Majesty the Queen, has Ailuner been cursed?”

When Gu Shengyin heard him begin to speak, she understood what was going on: her lover, even if he didn’t understand love at all, even if he hadn’t noticed his own thoughts, still had possessiveness that stemmed from the depths of his soul.

Gu Shengyin felt very happy inside; now that Ailuner was having such thoughts, the moment of enlightenment was not far away.

She had to guide him slowly.

Gu Shengyin gently furrowed her brows, looking a bit troubled.

Seeing this, Ailuner’s heart clenched. He started to regret coming to find the queen; it seemed like he had also brought her trouble.

In fact, Gu Shengyin was just considering how to phrase things appropriately. She thought for a moment and pointed to a vase beside her, “Ailuner, if you come tomorrow and find that this vase has been taken away by another elf who likes it very much, would you feel sad?”

Ailuner thought for a moment and shook his head.

Gu Shengyin continued, “Then, if the Starlight Flower that I gave you were taken away by someone else, would you be unhappy?”

Ailuner honestly nodded his head.

Gu Shengyin asked further, “So why do you think you have two different feelings for the same situation where something is taken away?”

In his heart, Ailuner actually had an answer, “Because I care about the latter.”

“Why do you care?”

This time Ailuner’s answer came without any hesitation, “Because the Starlight Flower was given to Ailuner by Her Majesty the Queen, and Ailuner likes Her Majesty the Queen.”

Gu Shengyin smiled, “So you see, Ailuner, those feelings you have are simply because you care too much about me in your heart. I am very pleased to have Ailuner’s affection.”

Ailuner had not expected that after expressing such selfish thoughts, not only did the queen not blame him, but she was actually comforting and guiding him.

His mood instantly brightened, but he was still puzzled, “But Your Majesty the Queen, selfishness and jealousy are wrong, things one should not possess.”

“True. Ailuner, I am very glad you came to me after noticing the problem,” Gu Shengyin looked at him with tender eyes.

“You have just come of age and your temperament isn’t yet mature. All of this is just because you are too dependent on me as your Guardian. You have not hurt anyone with these feelings, Ailuner, and there is no need to be downcast because of them.”

The queen’s meaning was that his current state was normal? Ailuner always felt there was something not quite right about it.

But the queen could not be wrong. Ailuner told himself this.

Gu Shengyin coaxed gently, “If you still feel perplexed, why not read more books? Within them lies boundless wisdom and the experiences of your predecessors, and in there, perhaps you can find the answers you seek.”

After seeing off the “problematic lover” Ailuner, Gu Shengyin swept through the largest and oldest library of the Elf Race with her thoughts.

Right, she thought, take all those love strategies that had been collected from the human world and move them to the very front where they can be seen at first glance.
