Chapter 758  Felecie's Confession And Determination

Rising to his feet, he turned back and prepared to leave but was stopped when he heard the faint whisper,

"Please don't leave..."

"Sorry?" Zeras asked as he turned to look at Felecie, who slowly took back her outstretched hand.

"Nothing," she said innocently.

Zeras looked into her orangey eyes for a long while, and the harder he stared, the more the pink hue on the side of Felecie's face grew until she eventually threw her gaze away from his, a faintly embarrassed yet angered look on her face.

"Why are you staring hard at me like that?" Felecie said, eliciting a devilish grin from Zeras.

"You have something on your mind, Felecie. Something for me..." Zeras whispered.

Felecie scoffed.

"Stop acting like you don't know it."

"Know what?" Zeras asked confusedly.

Suddenly, in the next instant, he felt the world faintly zoom, and in the blink of an eye, he felt the warm touch of the wall behind him, and a figure, whose face was barely an inch from his.

"So you really did grow stronger..." Zeras commented.

Right now, Felecie's speed was equal to that of the average Otherworlder, which meant Felecie really had grown stronger.

"I truly have something in mind that I wanted to tell you... after the last time we parted ways," she said this time seriously, and he also decidd to pay serious attention too.

"And what could that be?"

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened the last time we parted ways, for the words I said and how I..." she was saying but got cut off.

"I'm not mad at you, Felecie. Never really have been..." Zeras replied, and this time she could see the seriousness in his eyes.

He really meant his words.

"And..." She continued before stopping once more, her face growing completely pink.

"And what?"

"And..."

"And..."

"And..."

Felecie struggled to say, but in a blink, all Zeras felt was something soft coming into contact with his lips.

It was a kiss, but that wasn't all it was.

Somehow, he felt something deeper.

It was like a message—a message was being passed to him through the connection, and the longer they kissed, the clearer he felt the message.

Seconds passed until eventually, Felecie slowly backed up.

19:51

Her hot breath spilled on Zeras's face, her own face having turned into an alluring pink.

Seconds passed until eventually, Felecie slowly backed up.

Her hot breath spilled on Zeras's face, her own face having turned into an alluring pink.

Zeras could see her former embarrassment fading, and this time, what he saw was a deep boldness and determination.

"I want you to stay here with me and never leave."

"My father and my uncles would agree, and it's only a matter of time before my people get to know who you truly are, and their distrust will fade away soon."

"All I want right now is you, so remain here with me, please..." Felecie confessed, and he simply stared dazedly into her eyes.

As much as it felt a little abrupt, somehow he expected it.

His journey with Felecie in the beginning had not been the best, and it was strictly business, but as they traveled and got to know each other, he could tell that the connection between him and Felecie was deepening.

But Zeras's mind had been on completing the quest that he was given, and the same could be said for Felecie, who was also focused on her quest of saving her father.

But even through that, both of them had been able to deepen their connection with each other.

Now that Felecie had fulfilled the only thing she ever wanted, she felt herself being free to chase after the new interest that she now had, after having fulfilled the one she had wanted.

She loved Zeras, and truly loved him deeply.

Not many had remained so trusting of her. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In her entire life, she had been lonely and viewed as odd for her wish to bring back her father, who everyone termed as dead.

But somehow, he had believed in her and had worked towards her goal when all the world ever did was laugh and warn her never to do such a thing.

She had gone through a place where even the Otherworlders, known as gods, could only ever reach, and somehow she had been able to not only go but also return back.

None had ever made her feel such a sense of security.

And he had done the thing which had always been her dream ever since she was little.

Perhaps his only flaw would have been his seemingly uncaring attitude, but she knew it was a lie.

He was no devil, as the others thought. If there was anything Zeras could be, it would be an uncaring, emotionless devil.

He had killed and taken away life before her, and so mercilessly too, but his heart was never cold.

To her, he was a perfect human being.

But somehow, somehow, she could feel, it wouldn't go her way.

Somehow she felt there was something that was with him that she had no idea of.

It was the same feeling as a dying person who was trying to find a cure. They would never stop running, not for once, until they found that cure.

And truly, her words and feelings were proven by Zeras's next words...

"I'm sorry, Felecie, but I can't stay here with you. I have to leave..." Zeras replied truthfully, even as a tear drop slid down her face.

"Even though you care for me?" she asked.

"Even though I love you," he confirmed, "I can't stop and stay in a place. Not right now, not yet..."

There was still too much that was left unsolved.

Zeras knew well that his path was really long and had no idea how long he would keep running.

And so even though he truly might have a feeling or two for her, he knew well it was all for naught now.

Perhaps that was why he had tried burying them away deep within him, because he knew well that right now, he just couldn't stop and relax.

He wanted to, but he just couldn't right now.

"Then, I will come with you, Zeras. I will walk with you on the path and be by your side until its end."
