Hearing those words, Reina began to cringe. He felt that there was something strange about all this. But given everything Leo had said before, he no longer knew what he could trust.
Reina at this moment was feeling terrified. He pushes Leo's body and moves him a few steps back.
"You .... It can't be, can it? You must be pretending to be him, right? You must have heard all of that from her, right?!" Shouted Reina with a face that looked so angry and frightened.
Even his right hand had grasped the handle of the sword that was on his left waist. Covered by her beautiful white robe.
At this moment, Reina's mind was constantly clashing against what was before her with what she had in mind.
After 8 more months apart, as He continued through the bad things, his memory of Dimas himself became a bit vague.
The thing he remembered most was his innocence and plain face and short brownish hair. Including his last words during his stay with him for about a few weeks.
Not enough time to collect memories. But strangely enough, with just the incident on one day alone, everything seemed to be engraved clearly in his heart. What he remembered, was only his weakness for not being able to protect him.
What is in front of him....
'Seen at any rate.... He is similar.... But.... The cruelty.... This cold attitude.... Not likely....' Reina thought in her heart after slowly starting to recall it.
Leo realized that what he had been saying all along would turn towards him. He is aware of the risk of a lie that he does not do for what it is.
But atleast....
He wants to say everything. He wanted his heart to be disappointed no longer.
What's more, all of Leo's previous prejudices have been proven wrong. He was even surprised why he felt jealous of Reina's closeness with Lucas. Didn't Lucas himself tell you that Reina was just his student?
Soon after understanding their true relationship, and also understanding that Lucas himself had even been engaged to someone else, Leo was no longer able to lie to himself.
Leo could only notice Reina's figure continuously stepping back. Shunned himself.
Honestly speaking, looking at that scene, his feeling of terrace was sliced. But this is the fruit of all his lies. A reality that can no longer be denied.
And so Leo remained silent. Not trying to stop his departure. Maybe this time, it was the last time.
As Reina continued to step back, someone stopped her footsteps by holding her back.
"Miss Reina. Allow me to say, that we never knew that slave named Dimas. Even we did not have enough horse carriages to trade in other cities.
All the slaves that Master Leo had, were currently in this inn. The rest were in the square selling potions. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else." Said the woman with such a charming face.
Her snow-white hair slightly covered Reina's gaze as she looked back.
"Selene.... You're.... You must be working with him, right? I-i know.... You guys also want to utilize my power right?!"
Reina tries to break away from Selene. But with her body still injured, Reina was unable to bring out the full force. It makes him unable to escape from Selene.
In the corner of the room, Leo could only stare at the wall. With such a complicated and sad face, Leo could only let go.
"Let her go, Selene. I told you the truth this time. But apparently, all my previous lies had become the truth." Said Leo while making a thin smile.
His hands were busy wiping away the tears on his face. No matter how well he tried to hold it in, it seemed that Leo was no longer able to.
On the other side....
Reina had felt something nostalgic about her. In the end, Reina decided to give it a last chance.
Although Dimas did say everything to that guy named Leo. Reina was pretty sure there was one thing she wouldn't say.
"What did we do after partying at Miss Kenia's diner in the Canary village that afternoon?" Reina asked with a sharp look.
The question he asked could only be known to the real Dimas. And this question itself is a trap.
If Leo agrees and fabricates the story, even if it is true, then he is a fake. That was because Reina changed the name of the place and also the time.
But....
If only Leo knew the truth....
As soon as we both left the place, you pulled me in an alley. Saying that you were sent by the Goddess Silvie to help me fight the Demon King Valkazar.
At that moment, we both slipped and fell with me who was above you. And then after that.... You kissed my right cheek. Said that you'd give more if.... A reina? What's up?" Leo asked after stopping his answer in the middle.
The cause was none other than the tear drops from Reina herself.
His face could not believe it. But reality itself was in front of him.
The heart that had always tried to reject this reality, finally gave up. The eyes that had been trying to hold back the tears, finally gave up.
Allowing all the feelings in his heart to scream. Not holding back a bit of taste.
Quickly, Reina ran towards Leo and now she hugged Leo tightly. The cries could no longer be contained by Reina to reveal how happy she was to be able to meet him again.
"Dimaz.... So you're really Dimas, right?" Reina asked in a sobbing voice.
"of course.... Who else?" Reply Leo who now hugs back the blonde woman.
"I mean.... You're...." Reply Reina while looking at her face.
The look in his eyes was indeed much gloomier than what had always been shown in the Canary village. His eye bags also look thick, as if pulling his eyes down and making the look of his face look terrible.
Not only that, his brownish hair that is quite long and looks only tilted towards the back just makes it look much different from his short hair that used to be.
What's more....
At the moment Reina hugged the male body.... No. gabe. Even when I see it....
"Aren't you a little more contained now?" Reina spoke with a voice that was still sobbing but also looked half laughing.
Hearing that answer, Leo could only faintly smile as he continued to hold the woman. Leo stroked her braided hair slowly. Trying to make him stop crying.
Every now and then, her left hand helped Reina to wipe away the tears flowing down her face.
"Finally.... L'm.... Know it? I've always been looking for you.... Don't want to believe that you're gone.... L'm.... I'm...." Said Reina who kept crying.
"Stop crying. This time, I won't leave you like I used to. And this time, I promise to take good care of you. So then.... Please, stop crying." Said Leo as he continued to try to smile and hold back his tears.
He could no longer express how happy he felt right now with words. After knowing that the woman who was first close to him, it turns out to always think about it all along.
In the distance, Selene is seen looking at the two people. A faint smile that seemed forced was seen on his face. Same with a slightly sad eye.
In the end, he closed the door and left the two of them to have the space and time needed.
"Selene, what's going on?" Ask Lucas curiously.
Hearing that question, Selene could only smile bitterly while answering.
"It seems, Miss Reina has found what she's been looking for all this time." Reply Selene while immediately going towards her room.
Lucas seemed confused by the answer. But if so, he is happy with this incident.
Artemis who saw Selene's strange attitude was curious and followed her. But for the first time.... Selene almost lost her attitude.
"Arte.... Miss Artemis. Please, just leave me alone." Selene said as she stopped in the middle of the stairs.
"alright. If you need anything, you should know that I'm always there for you, you know? Not only you, I will help you too. I'll call you later if the party starts." Said Artemis who immediately turned her body.
"Thank you, Miss Artemis."
Today, a lot of events are experienced by the Leo group. Whether everything is a good or bad event, no one knows.
But one thing is certain.
Reina is back with Dimas. Ending a distant relationship between the two of them that is always bound by a simple event.
Simplicity of living together in Canary village.
