Queenie’s chest heaved in excitement as she looked at Fane, starry-eyed.
Queenie’s spot-on guess made Fane flustered. It seemed that he made the right move when he asked the other Gods of War to find an excuse when they came over.
“You must be! I’ve seen you on the battlefield once. Your height and figure definitely matched the Supreme Warrior!” gushed Queenie once she picked up on Fane’s silence.
Fane nodded. “Keep it a secret for me, alright? I don’t want others to know that I’m the Supreme Warrior.”
“But of course, I’ll keep it a secret!” Queenie was so excited that she almost cried.
“Ahh!” Queenie shrieked animatedly and rushed forward to hug Fane, unable to control her impulses. “I’m so excited! I’m so, so excited! I can’t stop myself! I need to hug my idol!”
“Queenie, Selena’s coming back!” Queenie’s actions stunned Lana speechless. Lana then turned to look and spotted—not too far away—Selena coming out of the toilet.
Selena’s jaws seemed as though it was unhinged when she noticed what transpired in her absence; she wondered if she was hallucinating. What was going on? Did they not say that it was Lana and Fane that had an ambiguous relationship? Why...why is Queenie hugging Fane?
She could not put two and two together, even when she thought about it deeply.
Selena finally realized what Queenie was talking about. “Oh, I see. You’re talking about someone in the armies. I racked my head for anyone in particular, but I just couldn’t find the idol match!”
They rested there for some time before Fane left with Selena.
The moment the two left, Lana turned to look at Queenie. With a bitter, disbelief smile, she said, “You almost exposed the Supreme Warrior!”
“I… I couldn’t help myself. This is the first time I faced the Supreme Warrior! Oh my god, I actually managed to hug him just now! I’m going to talk about this until the day I die!” Queenie grew excited once again, and her dignity as the Queen of War was nowhere to be found.
