Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"How do you prove it?" Rod asked in return.

He wanted to be absolutely certain of the truth of all this.

One should not make presumptuous or wishful thoughts...

“I want to be with Luo forever and ever…” Felicity said softly, “but if I had to take an action, I would only have one choice right now.”

Felicity's eyes remained fixed on Rhodes with deep affection.

She disregarded Rod's opinion and paid no attention to the opinions of anyone else, and did the most impulsive thing in her heart that allowed her to express herself.

The girl tiptoed in her small school boots, leaving only her toes to support her slender and graceful body. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body close to Rhodes—

Her cheek was close to Rod's face, and the distance between their eyes was less than ten centimeters.

At that moment, Felicity exhaled hot breath, making Rhodes' face itch.

"May I……?"

“…I’m not sure what you’re going to do?” Rhodes asked softly, “but it should be fine.”

"Then you can't back out after I do it, okay?"

"Ah."

"We're under the watchful eyes of many people right now, aren't we? If we really do it, there's no going back, okay?"

"That's a question you should be asking yourself; you're the girl."

"Know it."

Felicity spoke each word carefully, gaining Rod's approval and the opportunity to express her emotions.

That final bit of distance was completely erased under the moonlight—

But the moonlight could not penetrate their faces, for the girl's kiss had already lightly touched them.

Although it was as simple as a dragonfly skimming the water, the moment the girl's soft, luscious lips pressed against his, Rhodes felt his entire consciousness sink into eternal peace.

Time may stand still, but the heart may change.

The surge of emotion within me grew ever stronger, ever more intense.

This is Felicity's frantic demand for what she couldn't get in the past.

But in the end, it reached a point that drove people mad...

Felicity, however, reluctantly and forcibly broke off the relationship amidst this intense atmosphere.

Yes, it broke free from the interruption and opened up.

After all... even though she said she wanted it to last longer, even she would feel shy in a place like this.

At this moment, their gazes met once again.

“This is my proof.” Felicity pursed her lips, restoring them to their original state.

"..." Rhodes remained silent for a long time before finally saying:

"I received it. Congratulations on graduating from my course, Hiti."

……

...

The ball eventually came to an end.

It ended amidst the clamor of the nobles.

Whether it's some blessings or some inexplicable conflicts, none of these matter to Rhodes and his companions.

Ultimately, the aristocracy's fantasies are just that—fantasies.

Or rather, Felicity herself didn't think that this level of understanding was enough to determine her relationship with Rhodes, and Rhodes also understood that their relationship couldn't be judged so easily at this point.

After all, the story has been exposed, which means that many things will be distorted.

Lilith, Felicity, and many more girls whom we haven't yet met... they are all terrifying bombs.

He walked side by side with Felicity on the way back to the west wing of the mansion, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

“My guess should be right, right?” Rhodes said softly to Felicity.

The air seemed to thicken slightly, and Felicity's voice became slightly slurred:

"Ah."

"So, the strange thing about this story is that the memories from the second timeline are retained?"

Rhodes exhaled softly and rubbed his brow with his fingers.

Rather than the joy of learning the truth and gaining emotional connection, he understood that the current situation indicated a bad omen.

Felicity has memories from the second timeline, and Lilith is also very likely to have memories from the second timeline. So, how many other people also have memories from the second timeline?

yes……

In an instant, he thought of Cecilia Elman and immediately realized why Cecilia could let him save Ivina so easily.

There are only two possibilities;

First, having memories of her past life, she doesn't believe she can ultimately take Ivina away.

Secondly, based on her past memories, she has already begun to prepare a backup plan.

If the second possibility is true, it means that the difficulty of this playthrough will increase dramatically, and every bit of time will become a crucial factor.

Even setting aside Cecilia, what about the others?

Some even more powerful beings—enemies, allies, or perhaps...

[The gods], and [the god of the soaring dragons in the sky].

Could that silver-eyed dragon, the sky dragon who ultimately died under the blades of him, Cecilia, Lilith, and a host of gods, also carry memories of the second playthrough?

If that's the case, then everything, everything is in trouble—

Chapter 59 By then… there will be three kids, right? (Let's come back and check.)

"Can you stop thinking about those troublesome things all the time, Rhodes?" Felicity could tell at a glance that Rhodes was deeply in a state of crisis and vigilance, so she quickly tugged at his sleeve.

“There’s nothing we can do about it…” Rhodes shook his head.

"You should care more about my feelings..."

The girl lowered her eyelashes, seemingly frustrated that Rhodes was deliberately ignoring her feelings;

Rhodes paused slightly.

He... he certainly knew that Felicity's emotions were on full display at the moment.

But he really couldn't just say, "Wow, that's great, I'm so happy" all at once.

Being moved is one thing, but considering what happens next in the story is another.

"Hiti, so-called love is not that simple."

“I’ve lived two lives, how could I not understand these things?” Felicity bit her lip and shook her head firmly.

“I hate Lilith. I hate that she always hurts you and that she takes you away from you all by herself.”

In that instant, Felicity turned around and pinned Rhodes against the wall—

Her figure was back to the moonlight, her amber eyes blinking slightly;

With the grief and tears she felt for the past welling up inside, she could finally let it all out at this moment.

In the past, in order to let Rhodes be with the person she loved and to make him happy, she never revealed her feelings, even on her deathbed.

But things are different now.

Everything started over, and in this life, Rhodes and Lilith are estranged, and neither of them has had a chance to appear yet.

Therefore, this is the best opportunity for her.

"In the end, I lost my father, my brother, my sister, and all the familiar places."

This time, I just didn't want to end up so far away from you..."

Felicity held him firmly in place, giving Rhodes no chance to escape.

She pursed her lips, a hint of youthful shyness appearing on her face, but in the end, she still smiled and continued:

"Although talking about the future is a little embarrassing, but..."

"Once we've resolved the crisis and things have settled down, shall we live a good life in the capital?"

"I'm not stupid anymore. I can live with you and cook delicious food for you."

"Or even further afield, once we're actually together, let's build our own secluded little house?"

"Will we have three children by then?"

"That way, the three of them won't separate over trivial matters, and our whole family can be happily together..."

"However, I am indeed a bit slow, so raising them might be troublesome, so you'll need to be patient..."

"But if they rebel later and don't want you to look after them anymore, I'll still stay by your side."

"Then, we'll become old folks, stay in the countryside and grow some things, waiting for them to grow up and come back to visit us..."

The girl poured out her initial vision of the future, word by word, but in the end, she clenched her fist tightly and fell silent.

His tone grew weaker and weaker, and he lost more and more courage.

She bit her lip, her heart filled with resentment, and she understood what Rhodes's silence meant...

Silence is the greatest rebuttal.

Even after revealing her love, even after giving her kiss, she couldn't get anything in return...

Indeed, we shouldn't have put pressure on Rhodes, nor should we have made him feel troubled because of us;

She shouldn't have selfishly expressed her feelings, she shouldn't have...

The girl's eyes reddened and misted over.
