The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 508 WULFRIC AND ELLIS’ TALK

508 WULFRIC AND ELLISʼ TALK

ELLIS looked around the wide suite room.

After the episode ended and she asked the prince if they could have that talk now, the other suggested they go some place else. She readily agreed. Because she knew that there were a lot of things that they might not be able to propely discuss with Astridʼs presence.

The prince took the lead. She thought the other would bring her to some cafe with good privacy, but no, they just boarded the elevator and went to the upper floor. Confused, she just assumed that they would go to the rooftop.

So, when the elevator door opened and they walked to a suite, Ellis was beyond surprise. No, horrified was the more accurate term. Because this suite was obviously a place owned by the prince. If itʼs not, then how could they just waltz in here?

But she still had to make sure and asked, ”Is this place yours, Your Highness?”

”Yeah,” Wulfric answered a bit nonchalantly. ”I actually own the whole building. Do you want a drink? Oh, you can go and sit anywhere.”

”No, I donʼt need a drink...” Ellis felt like her brain was going on an information overload.

Did she hear it right, that the prince owned the building? Wait- wouldnʼt that mean that he and Astrid were practically neighbors? No, before that, could he be the one that suggested to Astrid to live here? Because he owned the building? So, he could monitor whatʼs happening to Astrid?

No, thatʼs a bit of a huge jump right there. She should probably ask directly before jumping to conclusion.

”Since Your Highness owned the building, did you recommend this apartment building to Astrid?” she asked.

”Ah no. I brought the place away after that. Probably after the second time I visited Aster.”

Oh, then her guess was wrong? Thatʼs a relief- no! What relief? Wasnʼt this much worse? Didnʼt this mean that this prince was literally stalking Astrid? What should she do? Wasnʼt this truly dangerous?

As Astridʼs agent, she should protect him. Even if her opponent was the prince of the Empire. She clenched her fists. Itʼs not just her being his agent. She liked the kid. Like a talented nephew one couldnʼt help but dote on. No, a nephew was a bit too much. Itʼs making her too old. Maybe a little brother instead?

Anyway, she liked the kid. So, she couldnʼt let anything happen to him. Not on her watch.

Wulfric, who sat on a couch, finally noticed the agent ladyʼs expression. She was looking at him as if heʼs some kind of criminal. He blinked, wondering why the other was looking at him like that. So, he thought back to the things he said. After piecing up everything, he finally realized what the problem was.

”Donʼt get the wrong idea. Iʼm not a stalker,” Wulfric quickly said. The agent lady only gave him a look of distrust. ”Let me clarify. While I openly acknowledge my desire to be with Aster and may occasionally feel a sense of possessiveness, it doesnʼt translate into an obsessive fixation where Iʼd confine him to a room and limit his interactions to only me.”

Ellis was still apprehensive, but her worry lessened a bit. At least it seemed true that the other wasnʼt Astridʼs stalker. Thatʼs a start.

”Then, let me ask Your Highness a question.”

”Go ahead, ask.”

”You said that your feelings for Astrid wonʼt change until youʼre, well, not in this world anymore. How true is that?”

”As true as the gravity pulling us to the ground.”

Thatʼs a weird metaphor. But she guessed itʼs effective enough? Especially if he said it with that look on his face, as if he was ready to go to war with her.

”Then I want to know how would Your Highness proceed from now on?” she asked. ”Will you follow Astrid around? Will you interfere with his career? Giving him all the resources he needed, protecting him from everything, things like that? What exactly is Your Highnessʼ plan?”

Wulfric shook his head. ”I wonʼt do such things. Giving resources to Aster is useless. With his talent, all kinds of resources will naturally drop on his lap. I will only offer protection if itʼs absolutely necessary. Because I know Aster wonʼt like it if I meddle too much.”

Although he said that, he would still fight against the trolls online. But thereʼs no need to tell that to this agent lady.

”You can handle Asterʼs career as you see fit. But just know this, if you ever let him do something that he doesnʼt want to, then be prepared to be my enemy.”

After the prince said that, Ellis felt goosebumps all over. Itʼs not just the way he said it, itʼs the way he looked at her as he did. As if he would really kill her the moment she deviated from what he expected from her. And he would probably really do that without hesitation.

This was the crazy guy she heard about. She actually had forgotten it for a second because of how normal he seemed since she met him. But the one in front of him was the real White Wolf of Alluna.

This also showed just how important Astrid was to him. Which also kind of proved his feelings for the other.

Weirdly enough, despite being threatened, she finally felt relieved. As if the worry that had been digging into her was slowly melting away. Because if he was this sincere, then it meant that he truly wouldnʼt easily give up his feelings for Astrid.

It might be good in some case, but it could also be really bad. For now, she should make sure it wouldnʼt be the latter.

”What youʼre worrying wonʼt happen. But I want Your Highness to promise me two things,” she said. ”First, donʼt ever get in the way of Astridʼs career. And second, donʼt do anything drastic if ever your feelings are not reciprocated.”

”Of course, thatʼs a given,” Wulfric said with a grin. ”And you donʼt have to worry about my feelings. Because I wonʼt give up until itʼs reciprocated.”
