C620 Understanding(2)

Talitha grabbed something from her desk and threw it on the ground.

It was a snow-white handkerchief.

I was dumbfounded. That was Marina's handkerchief. It was under the River of Fire. She had once used it to wipe my sweat. In a daze, I kept the handkerchief into my embrace. It must have been when Doom Knight tore off my clothes that the handkerchief fell out and was left in Dukat Kane's room.

With the forced explanation from the association and the personal belongings of other women, I feel like I can't even speak properly.

Talitha lowers her head to write, as if I no longer exist.

"Talitha, it is not what you think." My frustration is at its peak. Talitha does not believe me. Even without Marina's handkerchief, she would not believe me. Am I that untrustworthy? The happiness that I have longed for for for over a hundred years seems to have been completely shattered.

Talitha did not even raise her head as she slowly extended her left hand and pointed towards the door.

After all, I am a man and not all of my sorrows can be tolerated. I slowly took a few steps back and turned around.

Do you want to get out of here? Does that mean we are breaking up?

I paused for a moment and turned around.

Talitha still lowered her head and continued to paint on the paper. There was no expression on her face.

I don't know what force is driving me, but I bent down. I picked up Marina's snow-white handkerchief and put it into my embrace. I don't know what's wrong with me doing something like this at this time. I must have gone crazy.

I slowly turned my head to face the door and slowly walked out. Leaving like this is equivalent to me tacitly admitting that my escape from the marriage was because of another woman. But is there any use in explaining? Talitha believes that I have already betrayed her and abandoned her. Perhaps her feelings towards me have already turned into a heart full of resentment.

In my mind, I recall a sentence that is better to reminisce than to meet. I can no longer remember who had once said such words to me. Perhaps Talitha and I have been separated from each other for too long. Unknowingly, we have already quietly changed. I am no longer that Zhang Loong who only knows how to fight and kill, and Talitha is no longer that refugee who relies on accepting mercenary missions to survive.

Talitha's door closes behind me with a bang. I stand there blankly for a while, trying hard to recall the conversation I had when we parted more than 200 years ago, the conversation that had appeared in my nightmare countless times. But at this moment, it was out of my reach. Because I was unwilling to part with you, but in exchange, I had to helplessly part with you. This might be the retribution for my actions that defy the heavens.

"Hurry up and leave. You're not welcome here." Belsa who is guarding the door says to me in disgust.

I feel like a stray dog. The woman in the door is my most beloved, but because I have no choice but to make a mistake, she can allow her gatekeeper to chase me away like a dog.

"Zhang Loong, has great enchanter forgiven you?" Arthurs seems to be even more nervous than me.

I felt that my eyelids were very heavy, and I didn't have the mood to answer his question.

"Don't give up, slowly beg her. There will be a day when her heart will soften, and everything will be fine." Arthurs is encouraging me.

But I am not a man who will kneel in front of a woman and cry for forgiveness. I can't do it, I can't do it no matter what. If there is no trust, is there any value in begging back?

"Everything will be fine." I smiled at Arthurs and walked out of the courtyard of Mage Association.

Walking on the street at dusk, the people who met me still rolled their eyes. This city doesn't welcome me, it never welcomes me. I was kicked out of the house, I laughed self-deprecatingly. Where is my home tonight? I want to drink, but in the City of Light, no one would be willing to sell me a drop of wine. Because I have offended their supreme spiritual leader, I deserve to die.

Leave this place, this is not a place for me to stay. Looking back at the brightly lit Mage Administrative Courtyard, the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing my heart began to strike. Talitha no longer loves me, she can even allow a gatekeeper to insult me as he pleases.

I walked towards the city gate in a daze, but I saw a person quietly looking at me from the corner of the lamp.

Marina.

I was momentarily stunned.

Standing on the street, the two of them stared at each other blankly. For a moment, they didn't know what time was.

"Demon Dragon, I knew you would be fine." Marina's tears were blurry.

"How did you know I was fine?" My throat felt like it was blocked by something.

"The only possibility that you would disappear before the wedding is that you encountered something terrifying. Other than that, I can't think of any other reason for you to do something that will let Talitha down. I am worried that I will never see you again." Marina sobbed, "I have waited for you here for two months and there was no news of you. I'm really scared."

She didn't ask for the reason and didn't need to explain. She knew that I had encountered a very unusual situation and why Marina, who had been with me for so many years, could understand me. Talitha, who had been in love with me for hundreds of years, was unable to do so? This seems to be the most strange moment in my life. I don't know if it is sadness or happiness.

"Silly, didn't you decide to abandon me? Why did you come here? Do you want to see how your man marries someone else? " I looked at Marina in a daze, temporarily forgetting everything.

"My man." Marina's eyes were like frightened deer.

I gently held her hand. "Follow me to sleep in the open."
