Chapter Ninety Three | GilXGirl

"V-vait...vhat...you...you're..." I couldn't find the words.

"Vhy the hell are you dressing up vike a girl?" Was all I managed to ask and he huffed angrily.

"You idiot I am a girl, Vell a woman actually," she spat, "Are you vhat dense?"

Behind me, Zsigmund and Conrad gasped and sputtered out confused "what"s.

"B-but...what?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Long story short; I grew up thinking I vas a man, eventually I started 'maturing'" she blushed and squeezed Roderick's arm, "mama helped me but I couldn't accept the truth and I ran to propose to Adela because she vas the only one I thought I could trust but she turned against me and her father ran me out of town accusing me of being a cross-dressing faggot..." she bit her lip and I pitied him...her, for a moment.

I grabbed the sides of my head and wasn't able to form coherent words. I just sat down on the ground trying to take it in.

Roderick looked down at me and Eliza crouched down to face me and reached out her hand for me to shake.

"My name is Elizabetta. Now you know my secret, I hope you don't change your opinion of me."

My opinion of her?

Elijah is Eliza?

My best guy friend is a woman?

If she knew the last time I saw her then she was purposely crossdressing? She purposely sinned?

I'd have to pray with her for that, though hopefully she already asked for forgiveness.

I stood up and brushed myself off. I shook her hand awkwardly and looked back at my friends who were in complete shock and leaning on each other for support.

I looked over Eliza.

Dresses...bows...long wavy hair. This isn't what she likes...

I guess Eliza just like me had to change her life in a completely different direction.

She laughed probably thinking the same thing and joked, "Vell vhis isn't vhat I expected for our future at all...you're a priest? And I'm a voman."

All I could do was nervously laugh, still taking this all in.

What the hell?

What the hell?

What the hell?

Eliza, not Elijah.

She not he.

Her not him.

Woman, not man.

Girl not boy...

What...

I realized then how hard it must have been to leave Adela, to stop hunting and fishing and butchering and managing and reading and writing and wrestling and fighting and sparring. What a miserable existence, what did she even do all day?

And wait why the hell is she with Roderick?

Not like I'm comparing myself to him but clearly, I'm more awesome.

I would definitely discuss this with her later.

What a lame choice for a husband.

Husband...

Eliza's husband.

It felt gay thinking that but the interesting truth was Elijah...is Eliza.

This will take getting used to.
