Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 3 [Eli Da]

He underestimated the terribleness of national gossip.

　　"I'm so angry! That guy Xerxes is so hypocritical!" Elida was already yelling before he rushed in. After seeing his friend, he showed an indignant expression.

　　"Nalun, have you heard this? He said such a ridiculous thing with his upright face, and no one questioned his character?"

　　Nalun glanced at him calmly. Elida's family had always had a rift with the Monte family, and they also often had friction with Xerxes.

　　"What are you doing here?"

　　Elida was very angry: "We are both having sex, why should I be chased by my dad with a stick!"

　　Not long ago, Elida slept with a young junior boy, and Nalun also heard that the junior boy came to his house crying and making a scene afterwards.

　　The Earl, who always believed in "loyalty", was very angry about his son's homosexual relationship, so he chased him and beat him up. This incident once became a hot topic in the aristocratic circle.

　　"If you can reach the level of Xerxes, the Earl will always give you some face."

　　Elida was a man of bad temper, and as long as he provoked him with a few words, he would always be able to achieve the desired effect to satisfy Nalun.

　　He slammed the table and huffed, "But I can't beat him!"

　　Nalun: "Fighting is the behavior of barbarians, and the brain is the weapon of civilized people."

　　Elida clenched his fist: "But I can't think of a way to deal with him!"

　　——That's such a tragedy.

　　Nalun sat on the sofa and hooked his fingers coldly.

　　Elida immediately came up to him and asked in confusion: "Why are you wearing pajamas? And a coat over pajamas? Is the weather very hot?"

　　"It doesn't matter. Come here, I have a way to make Xerxes unlucky."

　　Elida's eyes lit up and he looked at him suddenly.

　　After a moment.

　　"Nalun, why do you look so bad?" Elida looked at someone's pale face and asked worriedly, "Is it because the injury from the past few days hasn't healed yet?"

　　Nalun pursed his lips and said, "Don't mention the last time to me. I'm fine now."

Nalun didn't want to recall at all the incident in which he lost to Xerxes a few days ago and sprained his wrist.

　　Elida obviously didn't think so. He comforted him, "Don't be sad, Nalun. I know how good you are. Even if you can't beat that monster Sers, you are still a good young man of the empire."

　　Nalun had a blank expression on his face: "..." He didn't really want to talk.

　　Elida added: "I don't know which fool would commit herself to a man."

　　Nalun: "..." Can we change the subject, friend?

　　"The only people who can attend the princess' birthday party are nobles and prestigious people. I guess it's some third-rate family or a pauper who is trying to get close to Xerxes to turn his life around."

　　Watch less melodrama.

　　Nalun muttered inwardly, speaking with difficulty: "If he really wanted to be with someone, he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye."
