Chapter 1122: Mavica's Drunkness
Ying listened quietly to Mavica's story without interrupting her.
She gradually had a preliminary understanding in her mind.
Mavica's feelings for Shao Yun began with admiration during the war, gradually turned into liking, and finally gave rise to love.
After figuring this out, Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not a big deal.
Mavica did not choose to hide it, but instead took the initiative to come to him and confess. This proved that she had no ill intentions and respected the relationship between him and Shao Yun enough.
Moreover, she knew her husband's charm better than anyone else. Although it was a bit unexpected that he was liked by such an outstanding person like Mavica, it was also reasonable.
Thinking of this, Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
My husband is so charming that even the God of Fire, one of the seven rulers of the world, is attracted to him.
However, if he wasn't so charming, I wouldn't have willingly "boarded his ship" and become his wife today.
The strange expression on Ying's face gradually faded, replaced by a peaceful smile. She looked at Mavica and said politely:
"Oh, so that's what happened."
"I previously heard from Miss Catherine of the Adventurer's Guild about the Nata people's mate selection philosophy. She said that the Nata people have always admired strong and reliable people and would be attracted to such people."
"But I didn't expect that even you, the God of Fire, would be so attracted to Shao Yun."
Mavica saw Ying's calm tone and eyes showing "accustomed" to Shao Yun's charm. It seemed that she had not fully realized the importance of Shao Yun in the hearts of the Nata people.
So, she leaned forward slightly and explained solemnly:
"Actually, you may not realize it yet, but your husband is the real hero who saved Nata."
"When the Nata people talk about the war against the Abyss, they say it was my credit, but I know in my heart that he was the one who truly ended the war."
"Ah?" Ying was stunned when she heard this, and her golden eyes widened slightly.
She knew that Shao Yun had contributed to Nata's war, but she never thought that he was the "real hero who saved Nata."
After all, according to the legends of Nata, it was Mavica, the Goddess of Fire, who led the war and repelled the abyss.
Mavica looked at Ying's surprised expression, sighed softly, and slowly told her the truth about the decisive battle with the abyss itself.
"During the decisive battle against the Abyss's true form entrenched in the Kingdom of the Night God, I had just arrived at the battlefield when I saw only him. He had already found the Abyss's true form's hiding place and completely destroyed it."
"However, Mr. Shao Yun was only thinking about rescuing you who was trapped somewhere else, and he didn't care about these 'hero' titles at all."
"Besides, he himself didn't want to be famous, so I acquiesced to the rumors and didn't tell the truth."
After hearing what Mavica said, Ying was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement, her tone showing some understanding.
"I'm not surprised by this. He's always been like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the name 'Tacitus Kilgore' when registering as an adventurer."
Seeing that she had told Ying about the honor that belonged to Shao Yun, Mavica raised her hand and gently covered her chest. She felt a little sad, but said frankly with a sincere look in her eyes:
"I'm not saying all this to compete with you for Mr. Shao Yun's love."
"I know very well that you are married and I will not do anything to ruin your relationship. I just want you to know that you are married to a good man."
"He may not be a 'perfect good man' in the traditional sense, and he may have his own temper and methods in doing things, but his sincerity towards you and his protection of the people he cares about are absolutely worthy of you."
When Ying heard the words "He is definitely worthy of you", the warm look in her eyes dimmed a little. She slowly lowered her eyes and gently stroked the hem of her wedding dress with her fingers.
"I understand. He's really good to Paimon and me... He's never treated us unfairly."
The reason why Ying is not confident is very simple.
Shao Yun has always been loyal to her, but there were several times when she did not completely stand on Shao Yun's side.
Mavica blinked, trying to hold back the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, and tried to change the subject.
"By the way, thank you for postponing the wedding for me. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see you and Shao Yun exchange vows..."
She originally wanted to talk about some light-hearted topics, such as interesting things at the wedding, and how beautiful Ying looked in her wedding dress, in order to cover up her inner loss.
But just as he was about to say half of the words, the thought that "his 'humble' love has completely ended" popped up in his mind uncontrollably.
From the moment she confessed to Ying, it was destined to stop there.
The out-of-control emotions could no longer be controlled.
Mavica's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She could no longer maintain her previous calmness. She burst into tears on the spot, her body softened, and she slowly squatted on the ground, hugged her knees tightly with her hands, and began to cry bitterly.
"Wow... I'm sorry..." Mavica cried and apologized vaguely.
"I've embarrassed you enough to see me like this...but I really can't help it..."
She wiped her tears hard with the back of her hand, but she couldn't wipe them all away. Finally, she simply covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to cry too hard for fear that her crying would disturb the baby next door.
But her shoulders were still shaking violently due to suppressed sobs, and Mavica's tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, making her look both miserable and pitiful.
Ying watched Mavica sob uncontrollably and was completely bewildered. She had never seen Mavica so vulnerable before.
The usually decisive, confident and courageous God of Fire now squatted on the ground and cried helplessly like a child who had suffered great injustice.
Ying opened her mouth, wanting to comfort her but not knowing what to say, so she could only step forward and gently pat Mavica's back, trying to make her feel better.
"Okay, okay, stop crying..."
Ying pondered for a long time before finally coming up with words of comfort. Seeing that Mavica still couldn't stop crying, she suddenly had an idea and tentatively suggested:
"Well... How about I buy you a drink? I heard that drinking can change your mood and maybe make you feel better."
When Mavica heard the word "drink", her crying gradually subsided. She stopped crying temporarily and raised her tear-stained face.
She remembered that during the dinner party that day, Xitlari almost drank most of the wine in Shao Yun's house, so how come there was still wine left?
"Is there any more wine?" Mavica sniffed, her eyes full of confusion.
Ying nodded, held out her hand, and said gently, "Of course there are. Shao Yun specially left more than a dozen bottles for himself, saying that he was afraid he would keep them for himself. Let's go to the kitchen and drink."
(Shao Yun: Oh no, my wine!)
In fact, Ying herself does not drink alcohol, and is even somewhat averse to it. However, she has heard Shao Yun say "drinking to drown sorrows" before, and knows that sometimes emotions are suppressed for too long, and drinking some alcohol may help people relax temporarily.
All she could do now was to accompany Mavica and let her vent all the grievances in her heart.
Mavica looked at Ying's outstretched hand, hesitated for a few seconds, held Ying's hand, and slowly stood up with Ying's support. While wiping the tears from her face with the back of her hand, she followed Ying towards the living room.
Perhaps, a "slightly tipsy" night can really allow her to temporarily let go of her obsession.
After leaving the bridal chamber, Ying held Mavica's hand and walked lightly along the corridor towards the kitchen like two sneaky thieves.
When passing by the living room, the two subconsciously stopped and looked inside.
Shen He was sitting on a small stool next to the sofa, patiently wiping the corners of the mouth of Xitlal, who was leaning on the sofa and feeling drowsy.
Shao Yun was sitting on a chair on the other side, holding a diary in his hand and writing something with his head down.
Ying made a "hush" gesture to Mavica, and the two of them tiptoed quickly to the kitchen.
Ying let Mavica, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, come in first and pointed at the chairs by the dining table and said:
"Just sit here and don't move. I'll go get some wine from the refrigerator."
Mavica nodded, dragged her heavy feet to the dining table and sat down, her mind still uncontrollably recalling the scene of her confession just now.
Ying walked to the phlogiston refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen and opened the door.
There were more than a dozen unopened bottles of wine neatly placed in the refrigerator, with all kinds of unfamiliar words and patterns printed on the bottles, and Ying couldn't even remember the names.
"These wines look quite strong, they should be enough for Mavica..."
As she spoke, she began to take out bottles of wine one by one. After running back and forth several times, she finally moved all the wine in the refrigerator to the dining table.
Ying didn't realize that when she was moving the wine, she also took out a few bottles of aged pirate rum that Shao Yun had casually put in the refrigerator...
This wine, even the Wind God couldn't resist it, Mavica...ah...
Looking at the dozen bottles of wine on the dining table, Ying nodded with satisfaction and suggested:
"By the way, isn't just drinking a bit boring? Do you want me to cook you some snacks to go with the wine? Or a simple vegetable salad would be fine."
Mavica raised her head and looked at Ying's white wedding dress, which she had not had time to change out of. It made Ying look like a princess who had not yet walked out of the wedding.
I really can't bear to let Ying prepare any snacks for me now.
She rubbed her still red and swollen eyes, shook her head gently, and declined: "No, thank you Miss Ying, just drink."
As she finished speaking, Mavica's eyes fell on the dozen or so bottles of various drinks on the dining table, and she swallowed unconsciously.
Her obsession with Shao Yun, the relief and loss after the confession, were all intertwined in her heart at this moment, making her feel extremely exhausted.
Maybe, I should indulge myself tonight, let all these emotions go to alcohol, drink until I am completely blackout, and get completely drunk, so that I can truly forget all my worries, right?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Mavica reached out, picked up a bottle of wine, unscrewed the cap, put the bottle mouth directly to her mouth, and drank it down with a gulp.
A frustrated man who desperately needs to numb himself with alcohol.
