Aleph frowned at Aspen's words. He wanted to tell her so many things. Mainly, how her words weren't true, since he had his Cantus his entire life and had come to welcome it like a dear friend. However, exposing himself as a Walpurgis was not really a good idea, especially not in a forest where it was very easy to hide a dead body. So, that was out of the question!
"Well, I'm sure that Cantus is just as much a part of them as blood is a part of all living beings." He said. "I mean, being sealed probably doesn't kill them, but still."
After that, the sun started to shine, and Aleph smiled. There was always something about the natural beauty of the Esterelf, not only in the plants and animals, but also in the sun, the sky, and the clouds, along with the moon and the stars. Something about it all had always made Aleph feel warm and joyful inside.
Of course, his enjoyment was short-lived upon mention of the horrible, horrible princess, and her horrible, horrible deeds. He shook his head at Aspen's words.
"Oh, no. I've heard all about the poor and innocent men that she killed, and all because they failed to answer some riddles that she always made up." He said. "So, I don't want to marry her."
He then smiled joyfully as he looked at Aspen, his eyes shining with enthusiasm.
"I want to kill her!" He said, smiling happily.
