What Women Want

...You, have you ever passionately loved someone? Have you ever experienced a passion and affection towards a single person, emotions that exist every waking moment of your day? Now I understand why the poets call it a 'fever'. I...have fallen in love with a lady...

I don't have the courage to go and confess my feelings for her, so I am writing a letter. I guess I will have to ask someone to deliver this love letter to her. It would be nice if I could find someone trustworthy. For the honor of the lady that I love, I need someone who can keep a secret.

(Quest for Elves and Humans, level 2 and above.)

So Minnie told you to go to Trader Herbiel? I knew that Herbiel is Greenis' uncle, but it's quite awkward for me to ask him about love and attraction. Well ... It's better to hear the opinions of more people ... right? Please go and show my letter to Herbiel, and ask him about what Greenis thinks of me.

What did Herbiel say? Did he say that Greenis has feelings for me? Is she attracted to me as much as I am to her? Will she accept my heart? Will this love, that I have devoted my entire soul to, be fulfilled?

Ahh ... So Greenis has also been watching me. I have a poetry book that I have been carrying around to give to her if she should accept my love ... Please deliver this to Greenis. This is quite embarrassing, but there are a few poems in the book that I have written myself. It would be better if you also tell her this.

Arujien? Well ... It's hard for me to say. It might be different if Arujien asked me directly ... It's not easy for me to believe what others tell me. I once heard that young men from another village had feelings for me. But the stories I had heard were exaggerated.

A letter from Arujien ...? Thank you.

I didn't know that Arujien had such strong feelings for me. He's always been good to me, and I've thought of him as kind ... But I already have someone that I love ...

I will write a letter to Arujien. I will say, thank you for your kindness, but my heart has been given to another ...

Whew ... again ...? Every year around this time there is always someone who falls for my sister ... but why do they all ask me? It has nothing to do with me. From what I know, my sister has no interest in love or courtship. And especially not for someone like Arujien

That's all I can tell you. But I may be wrong. I'm not that close to my sister. Perhaps Uncle Herbiel would know what my sister is thinking right now. He's always taken care of Greenis like his own daughter.

... Why do you keep bothering me? If you keep this up, I'll send you somewhere far, far away to the point of no return! Stop bothering me, and go ask my uncle. I'm taking about Trader Herbiel

My niece Greenis? Yes, I treasure her like my own child. I looked after her after my brother, her father, passed away. She is a full grown adult now, but still has the innocence of a young girl.

... Ah, you mean Arujien? A fine lad he is. Greenis also thinks highly of him ... But my friend Arujien is too cautious for his own good. Go at once and tell him that Greenis also has feelings for him ...

... Go tell Arujien now that Greenis also has feelings for him.

So... this is the way it ends. There's nothing I can do... love is so hard to achieve... and that makes it that much more excruciating. I guess that even this pain is a part of love. I don't think I will ever be able to forget her. It's a heartbreaking, but priceless lesson that I've learned. This is all thanks to you. Here, please take this. It's not much, but you've given me so much help in learning a little bit more about love, so please consider it as a fee for my lesson and accept.

So... This is the way it ends... There is nothing I can do. Perhaps it would have been better to just contain my love within my heart. I guess that even this pain is a part of love. It is heartbreaking, but I've learned a priceless lesson, that the greater the longing, the harder it is to love, and that is why it is ever so much more painful...

Here, take this... It's not much, but you've given me so much help in learning a little bit more about the pain of heartbreak, so please consider it a fee for my lesson and accept it.

Have you shown Greenis my book of poetry yet? Not ... yet? Yes, I shall be patient and wait.
