As the chapter continues...
When he saw them embracing, Zilpher immediately approached and separated them.
Gusano: Your Majesty?!
Then Zilpher punched Gusano, shocking everyone.
Selena: What are you doing, Zilpher?!
Zilpher: You! You're the one I should be asking that! *annoyed*
Selena: ???
Gusano *standing and dusting himself off*: You're mistaken. If you saw us embracing and talking earlier... it was because—
Before he could finish his sentence, Selena interrupted.
Selena: Didn't you also talk to another woman earlier, Zilpher??
Zilpher: ...
Gusano: Your Majesty!! (Tell him what you told me!)
Selena: What?? Am I wrong??
Zilpher: We were just talking because—
Zilpher's explanation was cut off:
Selena: What?! You're the only one allowed to talk to others, and when it comes to me, it's forbidden?! I'm not allowed to talk to anyone?! And you should be ashamed there with the newlyweds *points to Dorothy and Sandro*. Don't look for trouble just to be the star of the day and overshadow Dorothy and Sandro!
Suddenly....
???: Ggrrgghhh!!!!
Dorothy: Aahhhh!!!! *screams*
Selena *turns around*: (Titans!)
People panicked, trembling with fear, and ran away from the scene.
Selena: Soldiers!, protect the civilians!
Soldiers *bow*
Zilpher (I need to leave here to change forms to fight the Titans).
As Zilpher was about to leave, Selena grabbed his right arm.
Selena: Where are you going??
Zilpher *looking back*: Can we talk later? (I need to ensure the safety of everyone here in Kanux.) Can you trust me just this once?
Selena *releases Zilpher's arm*: Fine, you can go *turns and walks towards Gusano*
Zilpher: Sel..... *leaves*
Selena: Is your face alright??
Gusano: Yes, but it's a bit sore *smiles* By the way, why didn't you tell Zilpher what you told me earlier, Your Majesty?
[Flashback]
Selena: He's also the reason why I completely lost my feelings for Almorante, the person I once liked who fell for one of my siblings, Aerielle.
----------------------------------------------------------
Selena: Let's talk about it later when both our minds and hearts are calm. For now, it's not important. We need to kill and fight the Titans.
And so, Selena fought the group of Titans.
Selena: Charge!!!!
An hour passed....
The leonoro, chimera, and harpies arrived, joining the Titans in battle.
Selena: Tsskkk!!!
Gusano: Hah! Hah! *panting*
Selena: Gusano's group!, continue fighting the Titans while the rest of us will join me to take down the leonoro, chimera, and harpies!
Soldiers: Yes, Your Majesty! *bow*
Gusano *bows*
And thus began a long and bloody battle....
Selena *tears her gown to shorten it*: (Finally, I can move more freely) Yahhh!!!!
While Selena was fighting a leonoro and a chimera, suddenly....
Gusano: No!!!, Your Majesty!!!!
Selena *looks up* !!!
The two monsters she was fighting withdrew as a Titan appeared before them.
Titan: Ggrrrhhh!!!
As Selena was about to be stepped on by the Titan's large feet, someone suddenly charged and knocked the Titan down.
Selena (Green eyes....) Zilpher *whispers*
Zilpher: Grrgghhhh!!!
Gusano: Why did he knock down one of his kind and save Selena?! (And why is his skin white and blue?) Even his eye color is different from the rest (This is the first time I've seen such a Titan).
Zilpher (Sel almost got hurt. Tskkk!!! Why did it take so long to change forms?! I need to practice this).
And they locked eyes...
Zilpher (Don't look at me like that, Selena! I don't want you to realize that I'm also a Titan!) *turns away*
Selena: Zilpher.....
Zilpher fought his fellow Titans....
Selena: Don't hurt or kill the Titan with white and blue skin!
Gusano: Yes, Your Majesty!
Finally, Selena's forces won the bloody battle. All of Selena and Zilpher's soldiers cheered and applauded.
Selena *smiles*
Then the Titan [Zilpher] left.
Selena *hands her sword to Gusano*: Hold this for a moment
Selena then grabbed a bag from one of the soldiers.
Gusano *accepts*
Selena: I need to follow something *runs off*
Gusano: Wait!, Your Majesty!, Hayysss!!! (I'm really going to be in trouble with Zilpher if something bad happens to you).
Selena arrived in the forest....
Selena (He runs so fast despite his size) Where is he? I can't see him anymore...
But Selena spotted a bloodied and injured man walking away from the forest.
Selena: Wait!, Zilpher!!!!
Zilpher *turns around*: Sel?! *weakly* (But how did you follow me here?!)
Zilpher struggled to run away from Selena, even limping, but he collapsed from the weakness in his legs.
Zilpher: Ahhh!! *screams from the pain in his legs*
Selena: Zip!!! *runs towards Zilpher*
Zilpher: Tsskkk!!!
Selena *holds Zilpher's left arm*: Are you alright? *worried*
Zilpher: Don't touch me! *bends down*
Selena: Zip??
Zilpher: Did you see... did you see me change forms earlier?! (Did you see how I transformed from being a monster to my normal form or as a human?!) Tsskkk!!!! *cries*
Selena: ....
Zilpher: Now that you know my disgusting secret... are you going to leave me for good and avoid me for the rest of your life, Selena??
Selena: I can't do that because I love you, Zilpher Farley, and I don't care about your appearance or if you turn into a monster!!
Zilpher *stops crying* !!!! *looks into Selena's eyes*
Selena: And besides, I've known for a long time that you change forms into a Titan.
Zilpher: When?
Selena: Back in Atlantis... before I fainted again, I saw you change into a Titan.
Zilpher: !!!! *surprised*
Selena: And I also know that's the curse given to you by Nefetirani on your twelfth birthday.
