Chapter 720: Chapter 336 Seraltya
Ines looked at the bandage with the medicine on the person’s chest: “Is your injury healed?”
Leon lowered his head and touched his nearly healed chest.
“Master Goliard seems to be a very powerful spellcaster; my injury is no longer a problem.”
Ines lowered her eyes.
Leon looked up and asked, “Why apologize?”
Her fingers unconsciously tucked the slightly messy strands of hair behind her ear, and the young girl said softly,
“If I didn’t misunderstand, what he said, everything that has changed now seems to have started because of me.”
Back in the room, Leon shook his head: “It’s not your responsibility. I was the one who activated this magic. You were just accidentally caught up in it, standing at a point that happened to be some kind of baseline affecting the effect of this great magic.”
He explained, “According to Galliard’s statement, we are now in a possibility of fate with countless choices. You just allowed us to observe a certain fate of the entire world.
No single person’s choice can cause such a huge change. The current fate, whether or not it would have originally occurred, is the result created by the unmeasurable trajectories of all living beings and even material movements.”
Listening to Leon’s complicated explanation of magic science, Ines raised her head, her emerald eyes fixed on the ceiling with flickering candle shadows.
“However, I really kind of future.”
Faced with words that were tantamount to revealing her inner feelings, Leon opened his mouth.
The girl murmured, looking towards him: “Can’t we continue with this kind of fate?”
There might have been a hint of hope in her voice.
“…” Leon was speechless.
For a long time, Ines felt that he had probably made a choice, and she couldn’t help but smile wistfully and close her eyes.
“It’s really enviable, Miss Olivia… But now, it seems that if I was a little earlier, I could have also been valued by you .”
“A little unfair, isn’t it? Fate didn’t even give me a chance to compete.” The girl showed a slight smile, smoothing her dress, picked up the small hat on the table, put it on, and stood up as if relieved.
Not someone indecisive, just as decisive as on the battlefield, Ines forcefully put aside the unspoken illusionary wish in her heart as she walked to the door.
“It really was a ridiculous long dream, but like a dream, there is a time to wake up.
Don’t worry. If my will can restore everything, I will help you…..”
Before the words were finished, the hand that was turning the doorknob was suddenly held by someone behind her.
The warmth on the back of her hand made Ines’ heart almost stop for a moment.
“This dream… is not ridiculous, but also doesn’t need to be dreamed.”
Her gaze flickered, and Ines glanced to the side.
Leon hadn’t wavered in his decision, but he had indeed made up his mind.
“You haven’t heard me say this yet, but I need to say it to you ‘in advance’ again.”
Taking a deep breath, he was now without hesitation.
“I won’t let anyone take you away.
Since I’ve made a promise for eternity, whether it’s a parallel world or a so-called possible future, forgive my stubbornness, Ines, I will definitely become your husband.”
The path I’ve decided on, I will continue to walk, and the responsibility I’ve chosen to bear, I will never shift onto anyone else.
To hell with worries… Rather be a scumbag, Leon would prefer not to be an indecisive fool.
With a shameless smile, Leon looked straight into the girl’s eyes staring at him.
“So, there’s no need for any dreams, no need for so-called magic. Even if we restore everything and go through it all over again, we can stand here proudly once more… I don’t like a future filled with regrets, wouldn’t it be better to walk toward a more perfect future together?”
Ines’s bright eyes flickered, her lashes fluttered as they lowered, and in her speechless daze, only the uncontrollable heartbeat was swirling rapidly in Leon’s keen ears.
Her fair and jade-like beautiful fingers pressed white on the handle, unsure if it was because of anger or…
Ines bit her lip gently.
“So cunning… Mr. Leon… Truly as greedy as the rumors say, perfection is only perfect for you… but even if I can stand it, what about Miss Olivia? You were almost killed by her before.”
“Am I not… still alive?”
Leon replied earnestly: “Neither of my hearts is false. Even if Olivia opened my chest for inspection, I could still say this. Indeed, I am greedy, so I don’t want to make choices. I won’t let go of either Ines or Olivia.”
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
Ines barely recovered from this unreasonable response, and quickly asked, “Where are you going?”
Leon calmly turned back and honestly said, “To see you… to see my wife.
I’ve hurt your heart for too long, I need to go tell her the truth, do you want to come along?”
…for this designation, stirred indescribable feelings.
The girl’s pretty face first bit her lip, then slowly showed a complex expression that was both exasperated and amused.
Crossing her arms and holding her forehead, Ines lowered her head to hide her twinkling eyes.
“No… right now… I should only want to see you, I better not disturb myself.” Ines’s tone could hardly maintain its façade of calmness.
Leon didn’t push further: “Then wait for me, I’ll be back soon, I still have a lot to talk to you about.”
Hearing this, Ines looked up and gave him a sharp glare, turned around, and firmly slammed the door.
“Who wants to wait for you?
Don’t come back tonight! Fool!
… Stupid bee pollinating everywhere!
… Detestable philanderer!
….. Big-hearted flirt!
