Chapter 453: Willing to Try

Eliana had been living with him for three thousand years at the time, so he was already too used to her presence that he never thought she would leave one day.

Ferdinand still did not realize that what he felt was love. But he realized that the thought of her leaving felt terrible.

He then agreed to Eliana’s proposal.

Arabella realized that this time, Ferdinand had ended up falling for Eliana much more than the others, to the point that he thought, if it was her, maybe he would be fine with getting a mate.

’Please wake me up,’ Arabella thought when Eliana began her advances on Ferdinand.

They began with hugging.

Eliana was content with just hugs for a while and Ferdinand began to get used to it too. He began liking it too and gave Eliana all on his own after some time.

This encouraged Eliana so she thought the next step might be alright. She began by kissing him on the lips next.

’No. Stop this. Please wake me up already! I don’t need to see this!’ Arabella screamed at whoever was giving her these memories. But whoever it was had no mercy and let her watch it.

Eliana and Ferdinand began kissing and they were both awkward with it since they were both inexperienced. However, they gradually learned to do better.

Something seemed to be missing but they were kissing and so sweetly at that!

’Then why doesn’t he know to do gentle kisses and pecks when we first got together? Did he forget about those too? Look at him kiss her sweetly! How could he not realize he loves her when he’s already treating her likes this?!’

Arabella felt like her eyes and her whole body were on fire right now. She wanted to roar or something to let out this frustration.

’Is Ferdinand rubbing off on me? Is this how he felt when he’s jealous and frustrated?’ She hated watching them act all sweet and intimate. She also felt like she shouldn’t be watching this. But she could not wake up from the dream no matter what she tried.

And after she realized what was about to happen next, Arabella concluded that whoever was letting her watch this must have a grudge on her or Ferdinand. Whoever it was clearly wanted her to get furious at him and finally blow up at Ferdinand and finally end their relationship or something.

Eliana initiated sex next. Ferdinand did not understand what was about to happen, but he was willing to try just like the hugs and kisses.

"Couples do this to strengthen their relationship and have children. I’m not sure if we are compatible enough to have children. But I will drink an improved version of a tea the humans first invented to prevent pregnancy," Eliana clarified since Ferdinand was petrified when she mentioned having children.

’Please let me wake up now. I don’t want to see them doing this kind of thing,’ Arabella prayed desperately this time. She knew she would not be able to forget so she didn’t want to see it. She might end up not being able to do it with Ferdinand.

However, what happened next made Arabella blink repeatedly.

Ferdinand’s body had no reaction when Eliana touched him. He didn’t get a hardon. And he didn’t even get what was happening.

It made him uncomfortable getting touched in places where he was never touched before, and it was obvious on his face.

Eliana thought that maybe, Ferdinand was too nervous or feeling pressured since this never happened to him, so she stopped and decided to try again next time.

But no matter how many times they tried; it was the same. Ferdinand had no reaction to her, and he wasn’t comfortable with getting touched that way. He didn’t look like he was feeling good at all nor did he understand what in those actions deepened a couple relationship.

’Ah, so Ferdinand couldn’t get it up in the past? Why? He is so vigorous now,’ Arabella was confused. Ashe was sure Ferdinand was in love with Eliana. But why was he reacting that way?

Eliana was horrified as she stayed in her room and pondered about everything. She silently cried in her room as she came to a conclusion.

Eliana concluded that perhaps, she had been assuming things on her own. That Ferdinand was never romantically interested in her as a woman since she did not feel any desire from him when they kissed and hugged, and not even when she was touching him. She did not feel any hunger or lust from Ferdinand which should have been present at the times they tried.

’Ah! That was what I thought was missing when I was watching them earlier,’ Arabella noticed too. Ferdinand’s eyes had a different look in them when he wants to do something. Kisses and hugs easily triggered him, and his eyes would change.

But when he kissed and hugged with Eliana, or when she was touching him, Ferdinand’s eyes remained the same. When he was supposed to have sex with Eliana, his eyes were filled with confusion instead of desire.

Eliana noticed it too after trying several times. She apologized for pressuring Ferdinand to do things he was not comfortable to do with her, said her goodbyes, and returned to the heavens.

***

Arabella finally woke and she now knew why Ferdinand said having a relationship with her 15th reincarnation would not have worked since she would have loved to have children.

"Good morning," Ferdinand greeted her once she glanced in his direction.

Arabella felt guilty after seeing something Ferdinand was trying not to let her know to the point, he was avoiding her even though he loved being in her presence as much as possible.

"What’s wrong? What did you dream about this time?"

"N-nothing." Arabella tried not to tell him, but he thought she was getting back at him, so she ended up telling the truth.

"It’s not that I couldn’t function properly, it was because I didn’t have that function in me at all" Ferdinand quickly said in alarm.

"Yes, yes. Calm down. Why are you so alarmed? Whatever it was, I won’t take it against you," Arabella soothed him in.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Arabella learned that Ferdinand was particular about it since he had been overhearing the knights and other people around him talking about those in low voices.

He heard that there were those who were left by their lovers or divorced by their wives because their thing down there could not function properly, and most especially if they could not get a woman pregnant.
