The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Chapter 183 Nelson and Denise's Unpleasant Past I

A captured convoy in the forest.

In the carriage, the artist couple is telling their life stories.

They grew up in the same city. Nelson was fascinated by the world of art since he was a child and studied under famous artists.

He showed extraordinary talent in many fields such as music, painting, and sculpture, and quickly emerged.

Denise was born into a merchant family and received a good education.

However, fate played a joke on her. Her parents passed away early, leaving her with heavy debts and falling into the lowest point of her life.

During that difficult time, Denise accidentally walked into an inn and heard Nelson playing violin music.

The beautiful melody flowed into her heart like a clear spring, as if injecting new life force into her.

Denise was deeply moved, the haze in her heart gradually dissipated, and her hope for life was rekindled.

In this way, the two met and fell in love, spending an innocent and beautiful time together.

Denise deeply admires Nelson's artistic talent, and she feels an indescribable charm every time she sees him create a movement of light and shadow on the canvas.

It was the unique temperament interwoven with the endless love for life and the unremitting pursuit of beauty that made her fall in love with it.

Denise herself often becomes the protagonist in Nelson's paintings, forever frozen on the canvas by his deft hands.

With every stroke of the brush, she could feel the affection in Nelson's eyes. That emotion was as warm as a spring breeze, intoxicating her.

Nelson was also attracted by Denise's elegant temperament. He found that she was not only the inspiration and source of his creation, but also the strong pillar in his life.

In his eyes, Denise is like a gentle flower, unafraid even in the storm, and her existence makes his world more complete.

Nelson even gave up the marriage proposal for the noble lady and used his own savings to help Denise pay off her debts.

The two of them are in love and are already at the stage of discussing marriage.

However, the palace of art is not always so elegant and pure.

Nelson was often harassed by his tutors because of his good looks.

In order to pursue a broader space for development, this ambitious artist finally had to bow to reality.

When he was acting as a painting model, he was half-heartedly violated by his male mentor who was nearly 50 years old.

This same-sex wrestling fight not only brought young Nelson the opportunity to go to the royal capital for further studies, but also opened the door to his special hobby.

Because of this special hobby, his artistic creation seemed to have made a breakthrough under this mental stimulation.

His newly composed songs even spread to other countries, and several of his paintings were purchased by nobles at high prices.

Nelson became famous overnight. Denise was happy for her lover, she always believed in his talent and was very proud of his achievements.

Until one day when she went to the theater to deliver some laundry to Nelson, she caught him having an affair.

The disgusting scene was so shocking to the innocent Denise that she ran out crying, feeling disheartened.

After hearing what the two said, Notis was a little confused:

"Why are you sad? Is it because he didn't ask you to go with him?"

Denise had no answer to the goblins' questions, as it was difficult to explain the moral concepts of human society to monsters.

Nelson shook his head and hugged his wife tightly, and they continued their story.

During that time, it seemed as if their worlds had collapsed, and the indescribable estrangement put their relationship to the test.

But love is great. The almost broken relationship was carefully stitched back together bit by bit by the two of them. Although Nelson knew that he could not turn back, his sincere apology and explanation still won the forgiveness of his lover.

Denise still remembers the song that moved and inspired her. From the works created by the artist, she knows that her lover's heart has not changed and his love for her is still sincere and pure. She will not dislike Nelson because of this.

A sincere confession is like warm sunshine penetrating the clouds, illuminating the softest corners deep in each other's hearts, making the two hearts more closely connected, crossing the invisible barriers, and achieving mutual reflection.

Denise was even willing to accept and tolerate her lover's special quirks, which was undoubtedly a manifestation of the power of love and brought their relationship to a new level.

Just before leaving for the royal capital, the two resolutely entered the marriage hall. However, on the wedding night, Nelson was horrified to find that he was unable to fulfill his obligations as a husband.

Even so, Denise's love for him did not diminish in the slightest.

For her, being with her lover day and night and feeling the sincere emotional exchange is far more important than the intense sport of wrestling.

Notis shook her head in confusion and continued to ask:

"Even if he's a wimp and can't wrestle with you, there are still many wrestling techniques you can use. You can bite with your mouth, use your hands, and use your feet. Why give up?"

Denise was stunned by the question and blinked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Although this statement sounds very strange, if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense that is irrefutable.

Nelson grinned slightly, revealing a far-fetched smile, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone:

"Yeah, we were all too reserved back then. But as you said, if we could be more relaxed during wrestling matches, maybe our lives would be happier now."

After saying this, he fell into silence, as if recalling the past.

Denise listened quietly, her eyes becoming deep, as if she was immersed in some thoughts.

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Perhaps life is full of regrets and helplessness. But no matter what, we have all tried hard to pursue our own happiness."

Afterwards, the two went to the royal capital hand in hand and started a new life.

Nelson became a disciple of a great artist in the academy; while Denise gradually emerged in the upper society with her elegant etiquette and profound knowledge.

However, the social circle in the royal capital is more complicated and cruel. Although communicating with elites from all over the world has significantly improved Nelson's skills, the fierce competition has also made him exhausted.

In addition, the dirty deals hidden behind the scenes made him exhausted.

Art itself has no clear criteria for judging. Seeing that he will face a mountain of pressure and exclusion, Nelson has to sell his body again in order to gain recognition from the upper class.

What's worse, he even implicated his wife and dragged her into the vortex.
