“It was like he was struck by lightning.”
“Cut it out, Thor.”
“It should be fine, right?” Thor smiled at Nora while appeasing Elias, who was unusually impatient, with one hand.
“It was a picture-perfect moment. Almost like now.”
“Huh?” She couldn’t understand what he was saying so Nora just mumbled unintelligibly.
“What? You still don’t know about that? He fell in love with you at first sight, Nora the Azure Nightingale.”
“Eh?” She looked at Elias in surprise but didn’t realize her face had turned a deep shade of red.
“Haven’t you heard about it before?”
I do feel like I’ve heard about it before. Which means Thor’s telling the truth?
“At that time, Elias fell in love at first sight for the second time and found out that you were the same person as his first love. Then he asked his father to get you engaged to him and… the rest is history. Elias might be a little, you know, but there’s no doubt he’s in love with you. I guarantee that.”
Nora smiled but was actually more concerned about that remark of Elias being “a little, you know”. She wondered if it was a good idea that she learned about it as Thor sipped his grape juice.
“So, in a way, I’m like your Cupid. In light of that, I wonder if you could grant my request. Next week I’ll be holding a party and I want you to perform.”
Aside from being their Cupid, Thor was also her long-time fan so she felt indebted to him. Besides, she didn’t have much opportunity to sing outside the restaurant so she found it interesting to try.
“If you’re fine with me, I’ll gladly perform.”
“Thank you, Nora.”
At that moment, a young man with a familiar grayish brown hair appeared behind the smiling Thor.
“Sorry for arriving late. I heard Elias’ friend was coming…”
“Good evening, Allan.” Thor turned around and greeted Allan, while Elias stood up almost at the same time.
“Huh? What are you doing here—?” Elias quickly covered Allan’s mouth and pushed him to sit in an empty seat.
“Your loud voice is annoying, Allan.” He said as he released his hand but Allan held on to it.
“Did you bring him here? What are you planning?”
“It wasn’t Elias. I came on my own. I mean, I was the first one who found this restaurant, right?”
Allan’s face was visibly tense, but Thor seemed to take delight in it.
“You have your entourage, right?”
“Why would a humble fan have one?”
“You’ve gotta be kidding me. How—”
“Come on, Allan. It’s just me.”
Allan, whose mouth was once again blocked by Elias, simply sighed as he looked at the latter with contempt.
“Then, Lord Thor, what did you come here for?”
“You can just call me Thor. I’m here just like you guys. To listen to the Azure Nightingale. And to invite you to my party.”
Nora couldn’t understand everything but she caught on a bit.
“Um, if I may ask, who are you, Lord Thor?”
“What do you mean?” Giving her an innocent smile, Nora’s suspicions deepened further.
“From your looks and demeanor, I’m sure you must be an upper-class nobility. But from Allan’s reaction, your status must not be beneath him.”
“That’s a good deduction. Let me give you a hint. Thor is a nickname. It’s actually part of my real name.”
As she pondered over it, Nora looked towards Elias who was seated next to her. His face was rather tense and he looked uneasy. When she looked back at Thor, he smiled at her as he waited expectantly for her answer.
It seemed like she had to figure it out herself.
A man with a name that included ‘Thor’. A high-ranking nobility who’s in a position to have his own entourage.
All she knew were those vague information. Besides, her knowledge of the names of the nobilities was limited, and there was nothing much she could do about it.
Thinking thus far, something clicked in her mind.
Earlier, Thor said that he was the one who found the restaurant. He also said that he recommended it to his friends and that he wanted to show her Elias’ reaction when he first saw her performance, so that meant that Elias was one of the friends whom he recommended the restaurant to.
‘He’s a fan of the Azure Nightingale. It was actually him who took me to that restaurant.’ Elias had once told Viola.
That means the person he was referring to was—
“Thorvard Narvel, His Majesty The King.”
“You got that right.”
