Chapter 757  Last Meeting

To the man's apology, Zeras had not much to say.

The memories of how he had been told to leave the last time were still fresh in his mind, but he had never cared much nor did he find it offensive.

He understood the man's point, and if Zeras put himself in his shoes, then he also would have been that harsh to himself.

So he didn't really have a thing at all with the man.

Zeras gave him a reply that revealed he wasn't at all annoyed, and Bartholomew firmly believed that.

If Zeras was truly annoyed, then he wouldn't have brought back Felicie herself and ensured her safety, nor would he have returned with his brother.

The issue was easily resolved, and in less than a few minutes, the entire area was teeming with people far and wide, welcoming Jeffery back home.

It seemed the man was a pretty well-known and respected person as, even though it had been 20 or so years since his last disappearance, he was still warmly welcomed by the large crowd.

The gazes on Zeras remained, though, as the people could still feel like he was an Otherworlder, even though Jeffery had told them he wasn't a danger.

There were still some people who were not at ease, and so Zeras excused himself, going back to the room where it had all first started.

Entering through the wooden door, he could still see the scattered notes all over the table, a part of Felicie's 'research.'

He sat down on the chair, opened the pages, and began leisurely reading them through.

Not long after he began reading, he heard the sound of steps climbing up the wooden stairs, and a few seconds later, a soft knock could be heard on the wooden door before it was opened just a few moments later.

The person was none other than Felicie, and the sight before her was familiar. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The same one she had seen the first time when her entire world had turned upside down.

It was an upside-down for the better, though, and not knowing why, the memories of the day of their first meeting flashed in her eyes like a movie scene before her, and all the journeys and decisions she had to make, and that he himself had to make, both good and bad.

It was all like a movie, causing her to remain standing dazedly where she was until his voice awoke her.

"If my memory still serves me right, then right now, a certain person should be sneaking toward the side to grab an axe, which she plans to use to sever me into two halves..." Zeras called out as he dropped the book onto the table and gave a side glance to Felicie, who was only just starting to regain herself.

Seeing the mischievous grin on his face, a giggle couldn't help but escape her lips.

"Times have passed, and things have changed," Felicie said, stepping forward as Zeras turned back to the table and picked up another notebook.

"Isn't that right?" he replied, as Felicie finally arrived by his side, sitting by the side of the table.

"That's right. Things have changed, and now..." she said but suddenly stopped.

Zeras tore his gaze away from the book, looking up at her orange eyes.

"And now?" he asked.

"And now, I feel like I know you better..." she completed with clear eyes that revealed confidence in the words that she said, and he simply grinned before focusing back on the books.

"Things have really changed..." he whispered out loud, and once more silence covered the room.

Soon, he finished up the book in his hands, and he laid it down, preparing to grab another one when he was stopped as a hand grabbed onto his, a few centimeters from his hand reaching the book.

"How?" she asked.

"How did you find my father?"

"Where did you find him?"

"Why did you bring him back?"

"Why did you care, after we had both made it clear to venture on separate paths at our last meeting?"

A flurry of questions was asked by Felicie, and it seemed clear to him that they were questions she had bottled up for quite a long while now.

In response, Zeras turned to look at Felicie's earring, finding the purple earring to have disappeared.

It must have probably been taken by the other Felicie that he met in the garden, along with when he too was forcefully teleported into the garden.

"I needed something from you, and bringing your father back to me seems like a worthy exchange for it."

"So I brought him back, with the help of an entity I found in the trial rooms."

"In the end, I got what I wanted. A good exchange it was..." Zeras summarized to her as a black ring, shining with a bit of purple light, appeared in his palm.

Unconsciously, Felicie touched her ear only to find out that the earring given to her by her mother, one she had used since she was young, was now gone.

"Yes, this is it."

"It was given to me by another person that strangely looks like you..." Zeras said, before returning the ring back to his spatial ring.

"You mean Feliciena?" Felicie asked as Zeras raised an eyebrow.

"So you do know her?" He asked pleasantly surprised.

He had not expected her to know of her other self, but it seems that wasn't the case.

She was very aware.

"I do. She's me, and I'm her," Felicie replied, but all she got was Zeras staring blankly.

"Don't worry. It's a concept you can't understand... yet."

"Still, I'm glad everything worked out well."

"You got what you've always wanted since the beginning of it, and I too got what I wanted," Felicie said.

"So it all wasn't so bad, was it?" Zeras said with a satisfied smile, before placing down the book and rising to his feet.

It was finally time to leave.
