gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Alice, it was everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears swelled up in her eyes—then overflowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, she couldn't hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her feet barely touched the ground as she threw herself into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment she did—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She broke down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few silent sobs, muffled against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dam shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the tears poured like a river in flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clung to him, fingers digging into the fabric of his suit, as if afraid he would disappear again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max felt her shaking against him, her warmth pressing into his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crying as if she had been waiting for this moment forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, his arms wrapped around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened, his embrace firm, steady, and unshakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to reassure her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he was never going to disappear again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was soft, calm—gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stark contrast to the overwhelming storm inside his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand moved to her head, his fingers running through her hair as he soothed her trembling shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is going to be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they held each other—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something clicked inside both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Max—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in the last four months of separation that he truly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feelings for Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she meant to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How empty his life had felt without her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her wrapped in his arms, her warmth against his chest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no more doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't lie to himself anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Alice—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw him, the moment she heard his voice again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized just how hollow her world had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past four months—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every attempt to move forward, to forget, to act like everything was fine—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had all been an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because without Max, nothing had ever felt right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice sniffled, wiping the last of her tears from her cheeks as she finally looked up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were red, swollen from crying, but in them, there was relief—a warmth that had been missing for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, she whispered the words that had been buried deep inside her heart for months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft, but the weight behind it was immeasurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had wanted to say it countless times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had wanted to shout it to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only now—standing in front of him, touching him, knowing he was real—could she finally say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max felt his chest tighten, his heart pounding in a way it never had before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of responding immediately, he smiled playfully and teased—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You missed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was light, a small grin tugging at the corners of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's nostrils flared slightly, and she pouted, her cheeks puffing up in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I did!\" She huffed, crossing her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after four months apart, even after everything that had happened, he was still teasing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for a brief moment, it felt as if nothing had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max chuckled, his grip tightening on her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright.\" His voice softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes met hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you too. I missed you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no teasing this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only raw honesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Alice felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face reddened slightly, but she didn't look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held his gaze, her fingers tightening slightly around his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow of uncertainty passed through her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked the question that had been haunting her for months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened between you and Mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max's breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip on her hands subtly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known this was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her say it out loud made it feel so much heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice looked at Max right in th eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was complex, conflicted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She loved her mother, but she also trusted Max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to believe in both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truth wouldn't let her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a fracture between them now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One that needed to be acknowledged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max let out a slow, deep sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked away for a moment, gathering his thoughts, trying to find the right words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he explain this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he didn't fully understand why Aurelia wanted him dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it simply revenge for what his sister had done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something deeper that he hadn't seen yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was one thing he did know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was she protecting the Phoenix Order, doing what she had been ordered to do by the Young Monarch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there something else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something deeper that he hadn't seen yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was one thing he did know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was going to tell Alice anything, he had to come completely clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deserved the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was exactly what he was going to give her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max's voice was steady, but beneath it, there was a weight he had carried for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know the specifics, but I can understand at least one reason why she did all that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's eyes softened, searching his face for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max took a slow breath, then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare moment of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment where the truth weighed heavier than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally spoke the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words he had kept buried for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I am Max Voidwalker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freya Voidwalker is my big sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's entire world tilted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered back, her breath hitching as the words crashed into her like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in disbelief, hands flying to her mouth as if to physically stop herself from gasping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max… Voidwalker?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind reeled, trying to connect the pieces that had never seemed to fit before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya Voidwalker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who destroyed her family's trust, who betrayed the Phoenix Order—the woman her entire guild swore to apprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Max…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was her brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she felt her legs weaken, her heart thundering in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new thought struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought that cut through the chaos in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heartbeat slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as she did, something inside her settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all that remained—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was her answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firm. Unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stepped forward again, reaching out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers wrapped around his hands, gripping them tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft but absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes locked onto his, shining with conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter, Max. You are you. She is she. I can't blame you for what she did. And even if I wanted to—I wouldn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max's breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened, emotions swirling inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been prepared for the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prepared for Alice to push him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To call him a liar, a traitor—just like his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To look at him with the same hatred that burned in her mother's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chose to trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max exhaled deeply, his shoulders relaxing as a small smile formed on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was quiet, but full of meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for understanding me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was scared for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's lips curved into a small smile as she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot.\" She muttered playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief moment of silence settled between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence that felt peaceful, yet heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's eyes lowered slightly, her grip on his hands tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice came out quieter this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… you'll never return to the guild?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a question laced with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1365,"2026-05-29T02:56:42.303Z","2026-06-01T04:29:01.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","8740134e6e21bd46ab78898b3d655383258e38c131770e668a3f6bacf38de922","dimensional-keeper-all-my-skills-are-at-level-10-chapter-285","dimensional-keeper-all-my-skills-are-at-level-10-chapter-283",1648,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimensional-keeper-all-my-skills-are-at-level-10-cover.jpg"]
