Marianne clicked her tongue as she sat up. She just woke up but her emotions were muddled. She wiped her tears, she didn't know why she was dreaming a lot these days. Furthermore, most of her dreams were about Calix, they were all about the 'what ifs'.
She clutched her bedsheets and glanced at the window. Was this the feeling of regret, that she made a big mistake and she could never fix it again? She didn't know. But the fact that there was an imaginary lump in her chest, making it hard to breathe, was quite irritating.
Marianne came back from her mansion in Port of Aoneon, the Port of Aoneon was a huge artificial island. Almost 300 kilometers wide, it was actually big, housing millions of civilians and soldiers.
In the middle of the Aoneon, there was a tall tower that creates weak sound waves that only water-type Aberrants could detect. The sound waves could travel hundreds of kilometers. The tower was created to attract the monsters. Because of this, Port of Aoneon would have a daily battle against the Aberrants. But it was worth it because the other regions could go fishing peacefully, without being afraid of the monsters of the sea.
"… I hate this feeling."
She muttered as she touched her cheek. She recalled what happened after she was slapped by Scarlett.
Marianne was teleported to Calix's house, where hundreds of medics were busy taking care of the passengers. She didn't know that the government already evacuated the hostages, she was clueless. She was actually relieved when she found that, at least not all of the passengers died.
But because she was the single one who came out of the portal, all of the medics surrounded her. They were asking her a lot of things while the others were inspecting her body. She was confused at that time, all she recalled was the painful slaps that she received from Scarlett. Besides that, she recalled Calix lovely…
"Tch."
She clicked her tongue again. She didn't know why but her cheeks still slightly tingled, as if Scarlett hurt her feelings, not her body.
Marianne's clan members immediately appeared and checked her condition when she teleported to Calix's house. They checked and confirmed that Marianne was healthy, they tried to ask her about what happened to her bodyguards but Marianne just shook her head. She was too tired and she wanted to rest. The elders tried to persuade her to rest in the clan but Marianne didn't want to. Staying in the clan would cause her a big headache. She didn't want to see her parents or her uncle who kept asking about her cultivation. Because she understood that she couldn't achieve their expectations. Marianne may have a great lineage of being an Elf, but she was still a mortal.
No matter how much she trained, it would still take a couple of years before she could break through… But everything started to change when she returned to her own mansion. Marianne realized one important thing that changed her life.
However, before that, let's back to Marianne's inner monologue. She was having a self crisis, because of the dreams that she was having these days.
In the dreams that she usually had, Marianne and Calix became a thing. Yes, in that dream, Marianne and Calix are dating, a full-blown relationship where there is strong skinship, such as kissing, hugging, and of course intercourse.
She didn't know if that dream was the manifestation of her regret about Calix. Perhaps her mind worked and created those simulations. And to be honest, Marianne was happy thinking about those moments in her dreams. She was delighted whenever Calix would look at her with affection as if she was the only woman in the world.
"… In the dream, when Calix peeked at me when I was peeing, I slapped him hard too… But everything is different after that."
In the dream, Marianne would look at Calix with hateful eyes but she didn't hurt him physically. Then, because of that simple attention, Marianne started looking at Calix, until Marianne realized that she fell in love with him. She braved her heart and asked Calix to date her, yes, she forced our protagonist even in her dreams. It was awkward at first but they started warming up to each other, Calix is a good guy. He's a gentleman and he always prioritized Marianne, in her dream.
But then, a slight problem appeared in her dream. After their first sex, Calix's popularity skyrocketed and almost all of the females wanted to have a taste of him.
"… I don't know why I'm mad."
She weakly mumbled. It was a dream in the first place, yet it affected her so much.
In that dream, Scarlett became the love rival, trying to steal Calix from Marianne. But because Calix was a good and loyal boyfriend, he always choose Marianne no matter what. It was fiction, something she created in her mind, yet Marianne felt the butterfly in her stomach recalling those moments. Perhaps she became crazy because of traumatic reasons.
However, she didn't know that it was not because of any traumatic reason. It was because of her lineage. Since a long time ago, female Elves were longing for Ogres. Females Elves were dreaming of marrying an Ogre, being protected by an Ogre, being impaled by an Ogre's cock, and being impregnated by an Ogre...
It was a myth but it said that female Elves would never forget their first Ogre, they would love the Ogre till their death. Because why not, Ogres are lovely creatures. They are tall, but they are good guys. They always protect their family. Yes, they were simple-minded but they were the best kind the Elves could ever have. So Elves love them, even most of the demihumans love them. Even if time passed, the connection between Ogres and Elves would never be broken.
Besides, Ogres are the best choice because they are inherently good, in a lot of ways. They are very good in bed, they can last longer, they have huge cocks, and they could satisfy any woman!!
But maybe, the dream she witnessed was not fake. Perhaps in another universe, Marianne and Calix were dating and they love each other so much. Sadly, it didn't happen in this timeline, because Scarlett was Calix's first love, and he would never let her go.
