Isn't this also Ethan's own realization? And it's very likely that he has had many of the same thoughts himself!
Thinking carefully, her encounter with Ethan was two years ago when Ethan fled to Ximu Town as a refugee.
But what about before that?
Until today, no one knows his past, doesn't know where he came from or why he fled. Whenever the inquisitive Rowena asks him, Ethan always cleverly evades the questions.
And now, Lindong completely understands.
Ethan is a pervert.
So those perverse thoughts are destined not to be shared with others. Before fleeing to the Empire, he must have been wanted for some perverse actions, forcing him to hide his past!
This explains everything, explaining Ethan and Bazatous's firm friendship.
The conversation that just happened was all his genuine expression.
"Ethan."
Lindong took a deep breath, making a difficult decision.
"Hm?"
"Do you have those works about octopus faces and tentacles, the kind suitable for beginners?"
