Chapter 82 How about we go back to the past?
"Felicity, what does that mean—?"
"Felicity is the same; she's been reborn." Rhodes's eyes were filled with complex emotions. "If what you're saying is true, then she can verify what you've said."
Yes.
If what Lilith said is true, that she gave up everything after her death just to resurrect him, then the fact that she did love him is probably enough to prove more than half of the truth.
What she said last night was true; she really was just clumsy and bad at expressing her emotions.
For her, a noble goddess, it was simply impossible to give up her divine position. In her previous life, she had always been pursuing this divine position, so how could she possibly give it up for one person?
Moreover, after his death, there was absolutely no need for her to perform in a way that would cause her to lose her divine status; that was obvious.
Rhode had thought so from the beginning, believing Lilith to be a cold and aloof person who wasn't good at talking. That's why he used all his patience to wait for her to say those words. But as he waited and waited, he finally broke down when the final "END" appeared.
It was only at this very end that he finally realized that Lilith wasn't actually bad at expressing emotions, but was simply acting for her own benefit.
But—if what she said is true, then it means that his initial assumption was indeed true;
My feelings are complicated.
But now, he suppressed that desire for anticipation and placed the story on the theme of "tragedy".
Because he had already been hurt by Lilith, he had to avoid being hurt like that.
We cannot blindly trust Lilith again before the story's ending is certain.
But Lilith's face went blank from crying.
"Felicity, also reborn?"
"Well, let her tell us whether you're lying or not."
Rhodes said this calmly, then turned around and walked towards the library, with Lilith quickly following behind.
Her face was still slightly dazed, but the trembling in her eyes revealed the confusion and joy in her heart.
Felicity, too, was reborn.
This is an opportunity, a chance to clarify things —
Yes, even though Rhodes would still be unhappy that he couldn't confess on the altar, at least this way he could be sure that Rhodes liked him.
In this way, he will no longer hate her, but will instead be angry that she failed to keep her promise.
It turns out, she had the opportunity to prove that her words were true, and that the world had not completely abandoned her.
Because if it were any of the other girls, they might deliberately cover up the truth and let Rhodes continue to misunderstand her, but Felicity is different.
She was the ruler of the empire under her own divine position, and also a very pure girl. If it were her, she could tell the truth about what she did after Rhodes' death!
Lilith understood this principle well, and she also understood that in this way, the stories after Rhodes' death, those stories that symbolized her true love for him, could be truly proven.
Strangely, after she had cried so much and had the opportunity to seek justice, she did not cry tears of joy.
He just kept talking, and the look in his eyes gradually returned to normal.
"Rhodes, why didn't you tell me sooner that Felicity was reborn? If you had, I would have had her testify directly—"
Her voice grew brighter, even with tears still streaming down her face, it became increasingly joyful. "You know what? After you died, everyone cried for a very, very long time, Felicity too."
"We all want you back, and we all want the story to continue."
"She'll prove to you later that I wasn't lying at all."
"You know what? After the performance on the altar that day, I felt so regretful. Why couldn't I say it for hours? It was such a simple thing, but in the end, I still couldn't do it."
I really regret it, so I was thinking of going to your room the next day to tell you I love you.
However, I also know that what you said last night was my last chance to add honor to your life, but I failed to do so.
So I was wrong. I failed to give you what you deserved, and that was my fault.
But no matter what, at least I really like you, and Felicity can attest to that.
The empire really went badly after you left. I became stupid, as foolish as the dragon god who was trying to break the limits of the world, and gave up all management.
Felicity and the others were just as heartbroken, struggling to maintain the world's situation, but in the end, they still couldn't achieve their goal.
Therefore, the world has become a complete mess.
This rebirth—must be so that we can make up for the regrets of the past—”
Just like before, she could freely pour out her grievances to Rhodes, and no matter how cold her expression, he would listen attentively.
Lilith felt an increasing sense that a chance for reconciliation was about to arrive, but at that moment, "Enough, shut up." Rhodes couldn't stand it anymore and abruptly interrupted Lilith.
He stopped, his eyes turning cold. "Don't try to obscure things with these words. Let Felicity tell you the truth."
Lilith was stung again by Rhodes's indifference.
But she also understood that Rhodes was just defending himself.
So it's alright, as long as Felicity tells the truth, the problem will be solved.
"I know, I'm sorry, I accidentally said too much again—" Lilith said guiltily.
"Tsk." Rhodes took a deep breath, his eyes grew heavy, and he continued to move his foot.
To be honest, even if the truth of the story is really like that, so what?
What he needed at that time was that "I like you" voice.
Even if you manage to salvage the situation now, tell him you truly love him —
At best, it's just a shift from initial dislike for Lilith to helplessness towards her clumsiness.
But—should I just go back and pamper her like this?
Tsk.
Oh no.
He then proceeded to imagine that Lilith had truly given up her divine status.
He quickly shook his head, and as he came to his senses, the two figures kept passing by in the corridor, the sunlight shining on them.
The story seems to have a chance to take a turn for the better.
"We've arrived at the library. Felicity and Ivina are both reading inside."
Rhodes paused for a moment, then said, "Let Felicity come out and talk to us."
After saying this, Rhodes pushed open the gate of the Duke's mansion.
With a creak, the heavy red cypress wooden door was pushed open, and at that moment, Felicity and Ivina came into view.
