That's why Lizzie has such a strong dependence on Reiji.
Thinking this, with an unbearable emptiness and loss in her heart, and with extreme fear and reluctance, Lizzet ran towards Reiji with tears in her eyes, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly around the waist.
"Please don't leave me, don't abandon me. I'll do anything to stay by Lord Reiji's side!"
A muffled sob, filled with fear and sorrow, escaped from Lei Zhe's arms. These inner anguish directly suppressed the girl's shyness and reserve; she now only wanted to follow her deepest, most fundamental desires.
I want to stay, I don't want to part ways, I don't want to be alone anymore, I want to stay by their side!
“I won’t leave right away. I will give you the strength to protect yourself. Are you so reluctant to let me go, Lizzie?”
Looking down at the trembling girl, he knew she was terrified, so he gently stroked her head and whispered something.
He could have saved Lizzie directly, but the plan prevented him from doing so, so he could only try to change the course of the despairing reality.
"Lord Reizhe, I... had a dream."
With tears welling up in her eyes again, Lizzie looked up at Reiji and hesitated for a moment before finally telling him about the dream she had just had.
However, out of fear, he did not reveal the whole story about the witch.
"Dream?"
Lizette nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions and fear, and continued, choking back tears, "Yes, it was a very real dream. It felt like I experienced different lives, in a world where you weren't there..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe did not show any expression, but he was certain of his earlier guess. After all, the afterimage of the timeline that Lizette was converging had also affected the girl.
His arrival here changed history, causing a great upheaval in the world and allowing Lizziet to begin to understand what was bound to happen through dreams.
This is what is meant by a true dream: experiencing a dream in which Raiji did not exist, and also experiencing a dream in which Raiji exists now.
"...Lizzet, do you remember what I said back then, that I came to save you because of a promise?" Now that the girl has been affected by the dream, Reiji can temporarily reveal part of the truth to her.
"Huh?" The girl was puzzled.
"The girl I made a promise to is named Liselotte, and she is a witch. My hometown is indeed in the East, but I am actually from the future."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Lizzie was stunned as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded by the truth and essence of what Reiji had said.
The girl who made a promise to Lord Reiji to save her is a witch, and her name is... Liselotte!?!?
But isn't that... isn't that... her future self after changing her name in her dream?!
That new self born from her hatred of the cursed god, an extremely cruel and vicious witch, Liselotte!
"Lord Razer... you're from the future..."
Lizzie stared in disbelief at Rezhe in front of her; this man was a being from the future.
If that's the case, then what was said that night...
Therefore... Liselotte... you no longer need to hate the world...
That was... a gentle voice speaking to me!
Indeed, with Lord Raiji by my side, and having never experienced such cruelty, there's no need to hate the world anymore.
If that's true, then my dream was indeed real, and Lord Raize made a promise with my future self...
"I made a promise to you that I would rewrite your predetermined destiny, and that is the meaning of my coming to your side."
Lei Zhe's words completely confirmed the girl's inner speculation, making it an undeniable reality.
She wasn't a fool. Without Lei Zhe's existence, her fate would have been as tragic as the dream she had.
The man before her had crossed the barrier of time from the distant future to come here, solely to rewrite her tragic, predetermined fate.
The girl's heart was pounding, and her heart was pounding. She stared intently at Lei Zhe, not wanting him to leave her sight.
She believed what Lei Zhe said, but it was precisely because she believed him that she understood what the thoughts surging in her chest were.
"So, Lord Reiji will eventually return to the future?"
Lizzie hugged herself even tighter. Upon learning the truth from Rezer, she felt both joy and loss.
She felt a sense of emptiness and loss because she now knew why the other person said she couldn't stay with them.
Reiji simply nodded silently, completely shattering Lizziet's illusions.
"Will we ever see each other again?"
With a heavy heart and a touch of sadness, Lizzie looked on with a hint of hope as she asked Reiji.
She believed she could endure it all, as long as she could meet Lei Zhe again.
"The witch Liselotte was the first one I met, not Lisette. You will not become a witch, so you will not have the chance to meet me."
"Woooo..."
A deep despair and sorrow appeared in her eyes, and Lizzette let out a choked, animalistic wail, trying hard not to cry in front of Reiji.
Yes, if she hadn't become a witch, she wouldn't have met him in the future. After all, once fate is rewritten, everything that happens in the future becomes unknown.
But if she wants to meet Razer, can she muster the courage to experience the tragic events that the witch went through?
Besides, it's uncertain whether she'll even live to see the future.
When I get old, will I still be able to stay by their side?
"Alright, alright, you haven't experienced anything like that, shouldn't you be happy? Smile."
Lei Zhe couldn't bear to see this girl holding back her tears in front of him. With a carefree smile on his face, he gently pulled at her delicate cheek and forced out an awkward smile.
Are you happy? It's definitely something to be thankful for not experiencing that kind of nightmare.
However, the thought of saying goodbye to Reiji forever made Lizzie only able to give the man a pitiful smile that looked worse than crying.
"Honestly, you look worse than crying. Don't you want to leave me that much?"
"Hmm... Lizzie doesn't want to leave Lord Reiji, that's what I really think."
She should be happy that she has been saved and escaped her predetermined tragic fate, but she is not satisfied with the outcome.
The thought of being all alone was unbearable for Lizzie.
The price of saving herself was never being able to meet the person she longed for again. This was indeed the greatest price for Lizzie, because she had already understood the thoughts in her chest.
"Even if it comes at a heavy price, are you willing to pay?"
"The...price?" A glimmer of hope ignited within the tear-blurred eyes of the girl.
"You'll only meet me if you become the witch Liselotte. Would you be willing to be transformed into a witch by me?"
Becoming a witch is equivalent to betraying one's faith. Although Lisette will not experience the twisted past like Liselotte, Reiji still has a way to turn her into a witch.
However, Reiji gave the choice to Lizzie. No matter how reluctant he was, he would respect the girl's wishes if she didn't want to.
Will she live out her life as an ordinary person, or will she become a transcendent witch and step into a completely new world?
When Lizzie heard that the price Reiji mentioned was becoming a witch, she immediately thought of everything in that nightmare, but she quickly suppressed it.
Razer wouldn't do that to her. She came here to save her, and although she didn't know how Razer turned her into a witch, but...
"I am willing!"
Lizzie trusted him wholeheartedly. If she couldn't even trust someone who had crossed the barrier of time to save her, who else could she trust?
"Then I'll have to trouble you to make do with this..."
Reiji took Lizzie's little hand and led her outside the house. To the girl's astonishment, he casually conjured a stone table and two chairs out of thin air.
After settling down, Reiji revealed his plan to Lisette beside him: to conform to history while deceiving history, and also to deceive the girl herself.
Rez will fuse the Void Magic Stone into Lizzet's body and then implant a false memory personality into her brain, which is the witch Lizzet's personality that was originally destined to be born in the predetermined timeline.
As for Lizzie in front of him, Rezer will put her into a deep sleep within his seal.
Although Lizzie won't have to go through such cruel things, even if it's a memory personality, it's the most authentic memory personality here with Reiji, and the girl who accepts this choice will be in great pain.
Moreover, inside Lizzie's body, which was in front of Rezer, Rezer had sealed and integrated multiple parallel timelines of her into his body while she was unconscious, making them synchronized.
Although the plan was painful for Lizzet, it rewrote the past at the lowest cost, and Lizzet's so-called tragic past was just an illusion created by Reiji.
Yes, it was originally the real past, but Reiji rewrote it into an illusion, so that Liselotte's existence could be preserved.
For Reiji, Lizzerot is not just a personality, but also a completely new existence born from Lizzet.
After hearing Rezer's roundabout suggestion, Lizzie understood what he meant. She did need to suffer for a while, but thinking that it was all fake, she didn't object at all.
She could accept this price, but she could only remain asleep until they met again.
Before that, the girl shyly pleaded with Rezhe to let him live or travel with her for a while before carrying out the plan.
After all, Razer had said he wouldn't rescue her immediately, and she agreed to Razer's plan because she really didn't want to leave her.
The thought of sleeping for a long time in the future gave the girl the courage to make a decision.
P.S.: Please vote and recommend! 9,000 words update. Some people may not know Liselotte or have any feelings about this part of the plot, but as long as you search her Baidu Encyclopedia, you will know that this character suffers from beginning to end. Among anime characters who suffer the most, she can rank in the top ten.
11eyes has both games and anime, though they're relatively niche. I'll finish this story as soon as possible and start the main world and main storyline... Please vote for me!
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lizziet's Heart, the Unlovable Evil Light of Déjà Vu
Over the next period of time, Reiji found one of Liselotte's former teachers, the dark magician Michel.
After acquiring the Void Stone and all the magic he had learned in his life through his own means, Reiji began to teach Lizzet dark magic.
Lizzie has had a Void Magic Stone filled with immense dark elf power implanted in her body. The dark power of this magic stone can affect its host, so Rezer has temporarily sealed it away, allowing Lizzie to use only a very small portion of it.
In order not to affect the future that Reiji desires, Reiji will not teach Lizzet magic outside of this world.
Lizzie is also working very hard to learn. Her talent for magic is already quite high, and given that she is an important figure in this world, her progress in learning magic is twice as effective.
In addition to black magic, Reiji used his wisdom to create white magic that reverses those black magic tricks.
After all, balance is important. Although it is people who learn and use magic, the type of magic they learn can indeed subtly influence their master.
It wouldn't matter if it were the witch Liselotte, but Lisette needs to maintain her original appearance.
Reiji has already collected the fragments of Liselotte from the established timeline, making it easy to create a witch using these fragments.
Now, in the huge alternate dimension created by Reiji, this place, where there are only the two of them, has become the best and most undisturbed place for Lizzet to practice magic.
While Reiji was preparing dinner, Lizzie was experimenting with white magic alone on the open lawn. As the girl waved her small hand, magic words appeared in the air.
