Chapter 498 : She Remembered Her Past Self

At this moment, Dorothy was not the doll princess who clung to Felyn in the bedroom.

Now, she wore a crown, her gloved hand elegantly extended, the Silafeil custom-made royal ring on her finger flashing dazzlingly in the sunlight.

A gorgeous princess dress enveloped her body, the hem swaying slightly in the breeze. And behind her stood a squad of royal knights in heavy armor.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Why be so distant, big brother Felyn? No one else can hear us here."

The knights behind her activated a sound-proofing sigil, blocking out all sound from the area.

Dorothy grinned and smiled sweetly at Felyn. This was the most she could do in public.

"Big brother Felyn, is Dorothy a little different today?" Dorothy lifted the hem of her dress with both hands, showing Felyn her appearance. "Does big brother Felyn like the usual Dorothy? Or the current Dorothy? As long as it's what big brother Felyn wants, I don't mind what I wear."

The purple in her eyes deepened. Dorothy's voice made Felyn feel as if he had chugged a large jar of honey in one go.

"Lady Zervanie?!"

"Lady Zervanie, what's wrong with you!"

Zervanie, who was casting the divine art, closed her eyes at this moment, her body losing its strength and collapsing to the ground.

Felyn, who was closest to her, quickly ran over to support her, placing his hand under her nose.

She was still breathing, just fainted.

"Felyn..."

Feeling Felyn's approach, Zervanie slowly lifted her eyelashes, revealing her soul-stirring eyes.

"My head is so dizzy..."

"Is it from overusing your divine art?" Felyn rubbed Zervanie's temples, trying to alleviate her pain.

"Mhm... let me lie down for a while."

Dorothy watched Zervanie collapse into Felyn's arms, and the corners of her smiling mouth couldn't help but twitch.

She seemed to see Zervanie's triumphant smile.

This songstress is definitely doing it on purpose, right? It's not that serious at all!

At this moment, Dorothy wished she could push Felyn away and let him see the true face of this bad woman.

But she couldn't do that yet, otherwise she would fall into Zervanie's trap and really become an unreasonable woman.

She clenched her fists tightly, her chest beginning to heave violently.

On the other side, the knight order led by Veronica quickly subdued the Crystal Rock Beast, preventing its dangerous attempt to self-destruct.

The Crystal Rock Beast was not dead yet, but had fallen into a coma. They prepared to take it back for research later.

After all, this was the first time a magical beast had been alienated in the Royal Capital District.

Felyn picked up Zervanie and was about to turn and leave, but was immediately stopped by Dorothy's outstretched hand.

"Big brother Felyn, where are you going?"

Felyn turned around to face the imperial princess.

Zervanie in Felyn's arms made Dorothy squint her eyes, a sharp pain stinging her heart.

"I'm preparing to send Zervanie for treatment. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"But, but big brother Felyn, I want to talk to you." Dorothy's speech grew faster. "We haven't seen each other for a long time, I've missed you so much during this time..."

"Your Highness." Felyn shook his head. "Didn't I say it before? You don't have to like me anymore."

"Why?!" She raised her voice. The knights behind her consciously turned around and walked out of the range of the sound-proofing sigil, actively blocking out the conversation between the two.

"Big brother Felyn... I understand." She pointed at Zervanie in Felyn's arms, her voice trembling. "Big brother Felyn wants to hold this bad woman who loves to act. You're deliberately being intimate with another woman in front of me, and then you want to see me leave you with a disappointed face, right?"

"Your Highness, that's not what I mean." Felyn felt Zervanie in his arms hug him tighter. "Zervanie just over-exhausted her divine affinity, so..."

"Then I can send Miss Zervanie for treatment. Big brother Felyn can just hand her over to me. Are you willing, big brother Felyn?"

Zervanie lifted her face at this moment, her eyelashes lowered, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just hugged Felyn's waist tightly, showing with her actions that she didn't want to leave his side.

Felyn could feel Zervanie's heart, pressed against his chest, beating faster and faster. He could smell the pleasant green apple scent on her.

This was the first time he had actively held Zervanie.

Her legs were draped over Felyn's arm, and due to gravity, her soft skin squeezed his forearm.

"No need, Your Highness. Zervanie would probably rather be with me."

The frequency of her heartbeat was particularly strong at this moment. Zervanie forgot her pretense, staring blankly at Felyn, suspecting she had misheard.

But she hadn't misheard. Her body's reaction wouldn't lie.

A warm current instantly spread to every corner of Zervanie's body. A maiden's blush began to appear from her neck.

"Big brother Felyn, big brother Felyn..." Dorothy repeated Felyn's name, her eyes full of disbelief. "Did big brother Felyn just say something terrible? You two are so intimate, are you already together?"

Dorothy took two steps forward, but she found that Felyn had actually taken two steps back, always maintaining a distance from her.

Felyn's backward movement made Dorothy's body stiffen in mid-air. Her legs went weak, and her figure swayed.

"Big brother Felyn..." She reached out her hand, her voice finally carrying a hint of a sob. "A-Are you trying to avoid me?"

"Dorothy, I don't hate you. It's just that this is better for both of us."

"It's not better!" She stood in place, her hands on her knees, feeling a little out of breath. "It's not better for me. Big brother Felyn is mine, mine alone. I won't allow you to have contact with other girls!"

Dorothy looked up, took a step forward, and came before Felyn.

This time, she finally saw her long-unseen big brother Felyn up close, finally touched big brother Felyn's body with her hand.

"But... but if I say something like that, big brother Felyn will hate me, right?"

"My possessiveness towards big brother Felyn is so strong. Big brother Felyn doesn't really like that, right?"

"Dorothy has been trying so hard to restrain herself, but I'm sorry, big brother Felyn. Dorothy loves you too much. I still want to take you back to my bedroom, still want to be with you for a lifetime."

The surrounding knights quickly used a shielding sigil to block off the area where Felyn and Dorothy were, preventing outsiders from seeing.

"Dorothy, I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me, but my attitude is still the same as that night."

Felyn rejected Dorothy once again. His eyes met Zervanie's in his arms, and he gave her a faint smile.

"Dorothy, I'm not the Felyn you imagine me to be. You know that now, right?"

Hearing Felyn's words, Zervanie understood everything. She knew what Felyn needed most at this moment.

The songstress and Felyn already had a great tacit understanding, even if neither of them had realized it yet.

"Felyn..." Zervanie's voice trembled. "I'm a little uncomfortable. Let's go first, okay..."

After speaking, she didn't look at Dorothy, but shrank into Felyn's arms.

She didn't dare to look at Dorothy.

At this moment, Zervanie didn't feel happy being in Felyn's arms.

Because she could imagine Dorothy's expression at this moment, could feel Dorothy's mood at this moment.

She thought of her past self, lost and heartbroken on countless nights.
