Chapter 1715: Chapter 1164: A Mutual Love Relationship? (2)

After the topic of rebuilding Britain concluded, Reiger also consulted Morgan on how to solve the issue of Mellyuzina.

Then, Morgan gave him the following words.

"She has just lost her spiritual and emotional refuge, becoming extremely afraid of loneliness in a state where she has no support."

"To help her recover, she must find a new spiritual and emotional refuge."

"Go and replace Aurora."

At that time, Reiger only felt that Morgan was joking with him.

After all, these words sounded very immoral, and gave Reiger a feeling of being mocked.

But seeing Morgan’s rarely serious appearance, Reiger suddenly understood.

This witch, in all likelihood, was serious.

Thus, although he felt it was unreliable, Reiger decided to go all in.

"In the history of Pan-humanity, the Knight of the Round Table Lancelot eventually had to say farewell to Princess Guinevere."

Reiger said this to Mellyuzina.

Because of Lancelot and Guinevere’s romance, cracks began to appear in the Round Table, leading to the downfall of future Britain.

When King Arthur took his last breath on Sword Orchid Hill, Lancelot, who didn’t arrive in time for the rescue, was filled with regret.

Guinevere decided to leave Lancelot and entered a monastery to atone.

Lancelot attempted to bring Guinevere back several times, but was always refused. In the end, he chose to respect Guinevere’s decision and parted with her.

"I’ve said it before: you, like him, have fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have."

"And now, your endings are the same, both separated from your beloved."

"If you continue to hold onto that woman, whether it’s worth it or not, I must say, it’s something that doesn’t make me happy either."

At this point, Reiger paused slightly before continuing.

"If you’ve truly decided to dedicate everything to me, then I will respond to your intention."

"My hope is that you can let go of that unbearable past, not as a Catastrophe Dragon staying by my side, but as an Elf Knight, soaring freely within my view."

"That’s why I’ve made you into your current form and stabilized it."

At the time, Reiger could have used [Non-action Transformation] to transform Mellyuzina into any form, including the half-human, half-dragon form that could maximize her power.

But in the end, Reiger chose not to do so. Instead, he restored Mellyuzina to the form of the fairy girl, just like when she was active as "Elf Knight Lancelot."

This was equivalent to telling Mellyuzina that she was no longer a Polluted Dragon, nor a Flame Calamity, but a genuine Dragon Fairy, an existence recognized by all in Fairy Country Britain as the most beautiful, most powerful Elf Knight.

"That woman gave you a fickle form and toxic love."

"But all of that is in the past."

"You are now just the half-dragon, half-fairy Mellyuzina."

Reiger looked at Mellyuzina and spoke slowly.

"If you don’t pull yourself together, I might really start questioning whether bringing you over was the right decision."

Listening to Reiger’s words, Mellyuzina finally began a long contemplation.

"...If I get my act together, will you need me?"

Mellyuzina asked softly.

"Of course."

Reiger saw hope and nodded repeatedly.

"Will you love me?"

Mellyuzina asked another question that made Reiger’s eye twitch.

"Yes, of course..."

Seeing Mellyuzina clinging to him like a lifeline, Reiger could only say this with gritted teeth.

Then, Mellyuzina broke into a smile.

It was a captivating, dazzling smile.

The smile was pure and childlike, as if she had received her beloved gift, filled with innocence and joy.

"Then... it’s a promise, okay?"

Mellyuzina spoke in a naive tone.

"I’ll love you, you’ll love me, we’ll have a relationship of mutual love, supporting each other along the way."

"Let’s make it a decision, okay?"

Seeing Mellyuzina approach with a smile, Reiger finally understood why this girl was named "Mellyuzina."

In the history of Pan-humanity, this was the name of a half-human, half-serpent fairy, cursed with a terrifying curse.

When her lover saw her lower body transform into snake form, the curse would worsen, transforming her further into a terrifying serpent.

Reiger now felt as though he was being tangled by a terrifying serpent...

...

It turned out, Reiger’s feeling was right.

After that day’s conversation, Mellyuzina started sticking to him, becoming increasingly inseparable.

Reiger had originally planned to take this opportunity to further explore this black land, to see if he could eliminate as many abyssal creatures on this land as possible, allowing it to regain vitality. But Mellyuzina stayed close to him, in a state of complete inseparability.

Especially at night, when Reiger constructed an underground shelter with magic and entered it for rest, the Elf Knight didn’t even think of using a room for herself, insisting on sharing the same bed with him, under the guise of nurturing feelings between them.

This passionate and clingy demeanor contrasted completely with her previous gloomy and decadent appearance.

The coldly beautiful Elf Knight...

The melancholic and lazy Dragon girl...

The passionate and clingy little lover...

Reiger really wanted to marvel at how he could see three different faces on the same person, with such stark contrasts between them.

"Which one is her true self exactly?"

Or perhaps, all of these are actually Mellyuzina’s genuine personality?

Reiger was no longer sure.

He could only sincerely hope...

"When I return to that world next time, and see this sister, I hope Pasival can endure it..."

Though somewhat overwhelmed by Mellyuzina’s passion, this state was indeed preferable to the previous one.

Considering this, Reiger decided to let her be.

However, Reiger also informed Mellyuzina that he would soon return to the continent of Akasha, while she would have to remain here to help protect Morgan.

In response, Mellyuzina was somewhat reluctant, but seeing Reiger’s insistence and utmost importance on the matter, the girl nodded, deciding to heed Reiger’s words.

However... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Your Majesty is your wife, right? So how should I address her? Sister?"

Such a simple sentence nearly made Reiger break into a sweat.

"But, marriage and romance are different. You’re married to the Majesty, and in a romantic relationship with me. They aren’t comparable."

Finally, Mellyuzina self-assuredly concluded. Though Reiger wanted to counter, considering the situation might become more complicated, he chose not to bother.

Thus, Reiger and Mellyuzina wandered in the wilderness for about half a month.

During this time, Reiger slew a large number of abyssal creatures and updated his abilities.

...

Then, he bid farewell to the reluctant Mellyuzina and again opened the dimensional portal.

"Akasha Continent, I’m back again."
