"Would you like to sit in my lap, Ria?"

Aeloria glanced up at him in surprise as she saw the gentleness in his gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a rush of warmth flooded her chest as she looked at him.

In her past life, she longed to be looked at by him like that with such tenderness and open affection.

For so long, she was chasing him while he remained devoted to Zrryha.

But now, in this new life, he was looking at her with the same love she had always dreamed of.

A soft smile appeared on her lips as her lashes lowered slightly, "Yes... I would like that."

Klein gently pulled her closer, guiding her onto his lap.

Aeloria settled against him, her slender body fitting perfectly as she rested her head on his shoulder.

His arms wrapped around her waist, holding her as he pressed his face into her silver hair, breathing her in.

Orpheus watched them for a moment and teleported out of there, leaving them alone.

Klein’s fingers moved slowly through her hair, gently taking a few strands between his fingers as he spoke in a low voice, "What is your name right now, Ria?"

Aeloria shifted slightly in his lap, tilting her head just enough to look up at him, "Elfaria Lirael Eryndor."

He repeated it silently in his mind, then a small smile appeared on his lips, "That’s great..." he murmured softly, his fingers still absentmindedly brushing through her hair.

"I can still call you Ria."

Aeloria- Elfaria let out a soft giggle at that and shifted just a little more, turning in his lap so she could properly look into his eyes.

"What’s yours..." she asked softly.

"Klein Faress."

She repeated it under her breath, "Klein..."

A faint smile touched her lips "Irakiel..."

He gently stroked her silver hair, "Do you know how you reincarnated in this world as an elf?"

Elfaria shook her head slightly, "When I awakened my mana in this world, I also awakened the memories of my previous life."

"It was like a flood... everything came rushing back at once. The Great War, the battlefield, the moment I took your spear and ended it all. It was overwhelming."

"I didn’t know where I was or who I was at first. But the memories helped me understand. I was given a second chance. As an elf with high spirit affinity."

Klein nodded, "It is the same with me. When I awakened, the memories came back."

His gaze condensed slightly as he uttered "But I am sure... my reincarnation is because of Zyrrha’s seventh constellation and the Goddess of Fate."

Upon hearing this, Elfaria blinked in surprise "A Zenith God... helped you reincarnate huh."

With a soft sigh, she spoke "When I awakened my memories, I wanted to kill myself again."

Eh? He was dumbfounded to hear this "...Why?"

Her gaze lowered in embarassment "Obviously because you weren’t with me...Without you, why should I live?"

He let out a helpless chuckle and tenderly caressed her cheek "You are reckless..."

Elfaria leaned into his touch without hesitation and closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the warmth of his hand against her face as her lips curved into a faint smile.

"Maybe," she replied softly.

A brief silence followed before she opened her eyes again, "But the reason I didn’t..."

She lifted her hands slowly, resting lightly against his wrist.

"...was because of this. I am sharing my Arbiter Panel with you."

The One Who Ensures What Follows wishes you luck.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━❍────────────────────

Klein’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the Messages part ’The One Who Ensures What Follows...? Which God is that?’

Every God has a Divinity name, like Zrryha, the Goddess of Curses has the Divinity name ’She Who Speaks Ruins.’

The Goddess of Fate’s Divinity name is ’She Who Writes All That Follows.’

But this is...

"Goddess of Casuality."

Klein looked at her in surprise as she spoke "Seems like the Goddess of Causality helped me to reincarnate."

A slight frown took over her place "The Goddess of Casuality... I’ve never heard of her directly intervening like that. She’s one of the Zenith Gods, isn’t she? The ones who stand above the others."

Elfaria gave a faint nod "I am not sure what the reason for their intervention is."

"But I don’t care. As long as I can be with you, I’ll accept whatever fate throws at me."

His hold tightened around her waist as he drew her closer against him, lowering his chin until it rested near her shoulder.

Elfaria melted into the embrace without resistance, her fingers curling lightly into his clothes as she pressed closer.

After a few seconds, he spoke, "How was your life in the Elf Domain?"

"...It was different," Elfaria said after a moment.

"I was born into one of the Great Houses, and I am a High Elf."

"My family holds influence, and they treated me well."

"I was trained early in spirit arts, swordsmanship, etiquette... everything expected of someone in my position."

She looked up at him "What about you? How is your life in the Human Domain?"

Smiling, he replied "My life here has been... simpler in some ways. I was raised in an orphanage with Arwen and Cynthia. They took care of me when I was younger."

"I lived a normal life for a while. But when I awakened, everything changed. I got the memories of my past life."

"And... now I have Arwen and Cynthia. They’re my family and my girlfriends. I love them both. And now... you’re here too."

Huh?

Elfaria tilted her head slightly "Girlfriends? As in girl friend? or girlfriend like wife?"
